Synopsis

Disney’s 20th full-length animated masterpiece, "The Aristocats" is an unforgettable mix of wild adventure, colorful characters, and jazzy music you’ll find absolutely irresistible!

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. Along the way he takes them to his "pad," where Scat Cat and his band of swingin' jazz cats jam to the memorable "Everybody 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.
