The Aristocats (1970) https://letterboxd.com/smudgeefc1985...he-aristocats/
The Big Disney Challenge 20/56
Watching these films in order is interesting because you see where similarities and changes come in. This one has it's moments, but overall, I've always found it quite dull. The story is way too similar to Lady and the Tramp, and 101 Dalmatians, but both of those do it better. And have dogs.
Best Song: Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat
A bit like the Madam Mim segment in the Sword in the Stone, this whole bit is just so much more fun than every other bit of the film.
Best Scene:
The whole scene in the above mentioned song. Top jazzy song, colourful, and loads of fun.
As An Adult:
Did Duchess really just sing 'if you want to turn me on?' Also, notice the 3 kittens all resemble Duchess, O'Malley and Scat Cat? And notice each of them seems closest to the kitten who is the same colour of each of them?
Racism-watch:
Ah, so using animals to perpetuate racial stereotypes is the new way in now is it lads? The Chinese cat and his segment in the song...bloody hell...
Did I Cry? No
