Variety
Helped immeasurably by the voices of Phil Harris, Eva Gabor, Sterling Holloway, Scatman Crothers and others, plus some outstanding animation, songs, sentiment, some excellent dialog and even a touch of psychedelia.

The Aristocats
Jazzy, 1970 animated Disney flick set in Paris, following four pampered housecats, lost in the middle of the city. Forced out of their home by an envious butler, Duchess and the three kittens must find their way back to their loving owner, guided by a self-governing alley cat. This was the first Disney animated feature to be produced after Walt Disney's death.

The Aristocats / Reviews
Time Magazine
The animals' exuberance is so infectious and their "acting" so true to human life that by the fadeout The Aristocats does, indeed, give the audience paws for reflection.

The real beauty of the picture, which is as amusing, smoothly machined and beautifully colored as any Disney should be, is in the characterizations, sustained within a sprightly but simple format.
