The Aristocats (1970)


THE ARISTOCATS  (1970)  ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Wolfgang Reitherman
A family of cats gets abducted from a Paris mansion and dropped off way out in the country. From there they have to find their way home. A cute animated feature from Disney, which kids of a certain age will love, leaving grownups free to do something else while they watch. Eva Gabor does the voice of the protective mama cat. Phil Harris plays a swinging tomcat. Paul Winchell, Sterling Holloway and Nancy Kulp provide some of the other voices. The musical score owes something to Henry Mancini, and even older viewers should get a kick out of the alley cat jam toward the end.
