The Aristocats

Disney’s "The Aristocats" (1970) spins a tale of feline fortune and fiasco as the privileged Duchess and her progeny find themselves disinherited and abandoned in the countryside when their benefactress, Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, bequeaths her wealth to a less likely heir. The cats’ plight is compounded by the scheming butler, Edgar, who absconds with the fortune. Salvation arrives in the form of the roguish Thomas O'Malley and his bohemian alley cat compatriots, whose jazz-infused antics and street smarts steer the aristocats back to the lap of luxury.
