Aristocats, The (DVD)

Synopsis

"Bursting At The Seams With Rib-Tickling Fun!" - Entertainment Today

Disney's twentyieth full-length animated masterpiece, "The Aristocats" is an unforgettable mix of wild adventure, colorful characters, and jazzy music.

This enchanting tale begins in Paris, when a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to her family -- a family of adorable high-society cats. But when Edgar, the greedy butler, overhears her plan, he catnaps Duchess, the elegant, soft-spoken mother, and her three mischievous kittens and abandons them in the French countryside. Soon, they're being escorted home by the charming Thomas O'Malley, a rough-and-tumble alley cat, who takes them to his "pad" along the way, where Scat Cat and his band of swingin' jazz cats perform the memorable "Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat."

Enriched by "high-style Disney animation" (The New Yorker) and toe-tapping music by Academy Award-winning songwriters, the Sherman brothers ("Mary Poppins"), "The Aristocats" is a timeless treasure, and the last animated feature to get the nod from Walt Disney himself.
