BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
George Taylor Almost forgotten today, the Aristocats about cats in Paris has a good voice cast but it seems like something that should have been made for Saturday morning TV. Fun for kiddies, but not that memorable.
Realrockerhalloween The Ariosto cats is a hilarious tale about a cat named Maria along with her kittens who are kidnapped by the butler and now must make it home with the help of an alley cat named o'mallyIn a lot of ways it reminds me of 101 Dalmatians from art work, animals being involved with worried owners, the butler and he even crashed his mo pad in a river.This cation seems to mix a few genres successfully. The two cats fall in love Paris style. Comedy from the hi-jinks the butler will go to get the animals only to fail. Drama from being ripped away from their elderly lonely owner and horror at what lengths human nature will go. The music is enchanting from classical romantic synthetic music to back street jamboree.The voice work had real talent like Phil Harris and Eva Harbor who provide great life, pose and unique charm to the roles.Not the best Disney feature ever made, but its a great way to kill an hour.6/10
Filipe Neto When a very rich Parisian lady decides to leave all her assets to her cats, her jealous butler decides to make them disappear so he could have it all. Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, it features a soundtrack composed by George Bruns.We are probably facing one of the most underrated films of Disney Studios. It has a simple script, based on an inheritance dispute between a butler and a family of cats. The voice actors are good and the work of designers is great. The use of softer tones, combined with a firm but discreet pencil, make it very elegant and charming. The film has some important moral messages: the union of the family, as well as help to those in peril, are values ​​visible in the way the cats help each other. On the other hand, the adverse consequences that the butler suffers show the children the punishment for his envy and greed. In the film, the "dating" between Duchess and O'Malley recalls the dating scenes made twenty years earlier for "The Lady and the Tramp".One of the most appreciated features of this film is the soundtrack, which contains a number of interesting musical moments, from the song of Siamese cats to the song that kittens sing at the piano. But the most striking piece is "Everybody wants to be a cat." It comes near the climax and it's a very fun jazz, played by the stray cats.
datautisticgamer-74853 The AristoCats is just another movie that offers a mix of charm, entertainment, and some dull, boring moments. Officially the first film of the Dark Age, there is plenty to go around for music, characters (interesting to see Duchess have a Hungarian accent, courtesy of Eva Gabor), and a workable, understandable amount of intentionally cute scenes. Despite that, there are still plenty of flaws in the story execution, in a way that my interest was swiftly dropping as a casual movie attender (I had to force myself to go through all of it as a critic). I personally found the timing of the re-engagement moments to be quite precise, with the sometimes hilarious antics of Lafayette and Napoleon hitting at the moment that I was about to get up. I might consider it a style, featuring several ups and downs to initially make the audience want to leave, but then transforming into psychological captivation. I was somewhat annoyed by this, though the movie is overall worth a viewing. It might not be suitable for those who despise cats (like Angry Grandpa), so be warned.
