Disney Animated Classic: The Aristocats (1970)

Growing up during the 50s and the 60s was the best of the times! We did not have cable TV or online streaming back then, but most of the local stations always showed cartoons on Saturday from early morning until around noon. My siblings and I would watch them together. My youngest daughter is an adult now but when she was little, we often watched animated movies on Saturday mornings. It was “our time”. I would go to the local library and check out videos. They had a great collection of animated videos for kids.

One Saturday morning I was really tired. I went into her bedroom, popped the tape into the VCR, laid down on her bed, and fell back to sleep! When I woke back up my daughter was singing “Everybody … everybody … everybody wants to be a cat!” LOL. That movie had her full attention. She did not even notice that I had fallen asleep. Later on, I watched the movie by myself. I was curious because my baby girl clearly enjoyed it. After I watched it I knew why.

A one-word description for this Walt Disney film? Adorable!

Also, it's a great movie for jazz music lovers!

The voice actors were well-known entertainers from my generation that I have always loved; such as Eva Gabor (“Duchess”), Scatman Crothers (“Scat Cat”), and especially Sterling Holloway (“Roquefort the Mouse”). I would recognize his voice anywhere! His voice was used in the “Wizard of Oz”, “Winnie the Pooh” and so many other animated films I watched as a child. His voice is memorable!

PLOT: The butler did it! A wealthy retired opera singer leaves her money to her cats. But the woman's butler drugs the cats and abandons them in the countryside so that he can inherit the fortune himself. The pampered cats meet up with a street smart easygoing alley cat who decides, with the help of his other cat friends, to help them return to their rightful home in Paris.

If you want to watch a delightful animated film with your child or children, I highly recommend The Aristocats (1970).

Disney's Cruella Movie Review (Reblog)

We all know that Disney makes #movies that are for kids, but adults enjoy them too. “Cruella” was just released in 2021 and no doubt fans of Emma Stone (“La La Land”) will love it. It has already received such great reviews that they are planning a “Cruella 2”.

If you watched “101 Dalmatians” don't expect the same kind of movie. In “101 Dalmatians”, the villainess was Cruella De Vil, the name is a derivative of Cruel Devil and she was really wicked! However, in “Cruella”, a baby named Estella is born who is nicknamed Cruella. She is an unwanted child, her own mother tries to dispose of her, but she lives. She grows up to be “opinionated, rebellious and strong-willed” and she's out for revenge.

Yeah. Uhhh … not a typical “Disney wholesome kiddie” plot. Sort of seems like it was made for an adult audience. I mean ... I would watch this movie. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it for children under the age of 12. But that's just me. Also, I would watch it because I'm a huge fan of Emma Thompson (not Emma Stone). Emma Thompson is an enormously talented British actress who brings class and elegance to any film she stars in.
