Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Aristocats was inspired by the true story of a Parisian family of cats, circa 1910, that inherited a fabulous fortune.
- GoofsThe character of Duchess is very different in the second scene (the will) than in the rest of the film. In particular she has her nose more clearly defined. The rest of the scene seems also to have been designed by different animators, who used a more "sketchy" style.
- Crazy creditsThe opening title at first reads "The Aristocrats." As the three kittens go by, Toulouse notices the title, he removes the second r and pushes the letters together to form "The AristoCats."
- Alternate versionsIn the Czech version, both geese speak Slovak and Uncle Waldo speaks in a Moravian accent.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Magical World of Disney: Disney's Greatest Villains (1977)
