The ''The AristoCats'' was one of the first Disney's movies that I watched as a child. Five days ago, I had the opportunity of watching this movie again in a friend's house, and I could pay more attention about the story and the similarities that this movie has with ''The Lady and the Tramp'' and also ''101 dalmatians''.
The ''Lady and the Tramp'' similarity is pretty obvious: The fact that Duchess is a high society cat, identical as ''Lady'' and O'Malley is from the streets like Tramp, as well as the last scene where all the cats are together as a family and Adelaide takes a picture of them together. From the ''101 dalmatians'', The delivery van in ''The Aristocats'' is similar to the moving van in ''101 Dalmatians'', as well as the pets being stolen for the pet napper's benefit and Napoleon, a dog that seems very similar to another dog from ''101 Dalmatians''.
The story is a little bit silly, in the sense of Adelaide leaving all her money to her cats a little bit ridiculous, but since it is a cartoon made for kids, we should not judge it so much. And a very cool thing: everything is hand-drawn!
The plot:
In 1910 France,a retired opera singer Adelaide Bonfamille, is a very rich woman who lives in a mansion with her cats( Duchess and her three kittens Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse) and her butler called Edgar. One day, when Adelaide wants to settle her will with her lawyer, she decides to leave all her money to her cats, since she doesn't have family.The problem is that Edgar hears that,and wanting the fortune for himself, he decides to get a rid of the cats, leaving them away from their home. Edgar's plan is not totally successful, since he is attacked by dogs, but he lets Duchess and the kittens in the middle of nowhere. When Duchess meets a friendly stray cat named Thomas O'Malley,a romance between them begins, and also a journey, since Thomas will help Duchess and her kittens at any cost to go back to their home.
