THE ARISTOCATS SPECIAL EDITION DVD

Not to be confused with the foul mouthed (and some believe extremely funny- I ain’t one of ‘em) film about the famously foul ever changing joke that can make or break a comedians reputation among other comedians this absolutely enchanting Disney film deserves its reputation as one of the last true Disney classics before the long dry spell. It doesn’t get the Platinum Edition 2 disc treatment here. But the transfer is awesome and the Special Features are definitely an upgrade. For one thing Aristocats is finally offered in widescreen. Another is the much too short, less than comprehensive look at the contributions of the Sherman Brothers to Disney’s generally neglected legacy of soundtrack. A Bonus Short film here is also worth looking out for here but one wishes for an audio commentary and wonders why the two-disc Platinum treatment wasn’t extended to this charming, whimsical flick. Classic animation enthusiasts take note. This has aged well indeed and definitely belongs on your shelf even if the songs are a tad less memorable than those in say, Lady and the Tramp.

    My shame is mitigated by singing “Everybody Wants To Be A Cat” and dancing around the room like...well.... a cat.
