Viola review: The Aristocats

The Aristocats is one of my favorite Disney animated classics. What with the charming artwork, wonderful story, and great music by the Sherman Brothers, this film is almost irresistible. It’s a story about four cats, Duchess and her three kittens, who live in the lap of luxury. When they find themselves stranded in the outskirts of Paris, their only hope of returning home is the assistance of Thomas O’Malley the alley cat.

I’ve had the pleasure of viewing the recently released DVD before it hit the shelves. The film has been brilliantly restored and the bonus features are wonderful. There’s also a deleted song called “She Never Felt Alone.” There is also a DVD-ROM feature called “Virtual Kittens”, which was boring for a preteen such as myself, but would be entertaining for younger children.

All in all, this DVD is great family fun.
