A mixture of Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians, only with cats...oh, and no soul, story conviction, authentic charm, or worthwhile style. Still though, "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" is a banger.

Watching this movie when it was first released, it left a good feeling already: a simple story, but a very happy one, also helped with a nice musical soundtrack. Through the years I enjoyed watching it several times, and my appreciation grew . The characters are funny, the animation is nice, like 101 damations, the style is nice and this pic I share amongst the best animated movies from Disney: not sentimental and just plain fun to watch. Recommended !

Wow! The music and talent of this group. It's such a shame they never did anything else after this picture. I would have followed them on tour!

What would you get if you took both Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians, smashed them together and made it about cats to avoid being completely obvious about it. In a word, this movie. It has the pampered household pet meeting a scamp, it has animals being stolen for lucrative purposes, it has chases and hiding, it has a romantic moonlit night... it basically has all the good parts from both films, but because they're so obviously borrowed, you can't really get into it.The film has its upsides, though, certainly. It's a Disney film after all. The music for one is pretty sweet, with jazzy tunes and one true classic in Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat. Plus, the two main characters, Duchess and O'Malley, while painfully similar to Lady and the Tramp, are at least interesting to follow, whereas the three children have no personalities of their own, aside from one of them being a female.Furthermore, the film's plot is full of holes, the villain is one of the least interesting Disney villains I've ever seen, the film is nothing more than a sequence of uninteresting side characters met one after another, the conclusion has no stages and as a whole it simply lacks effort.The Aristocats is perfectly fine as a children's film. It's not offensive in any way, the animation is nice, the music is nice and there's no reason why your kids wouldn't love it. But, it's one of the few Disney films you cannot really sit through as an adult without any difficulty, especially if you've seen the two films it rips off.
