The Aristocats – Tuesday 10th June 2025

I watched this film for the first time (again, it was late, I was tired, so I needed to watch something under 90 minutes), and I actually really enjoyed it!

Firstly, the artwork is gorgeous to look at. It’s one of the great tragedies of the modern era that Disney no longer produce hand-drawn animation. These films of the past posses so much character and are far more innovative than the slop that Hollywood serves us these days (a running theme in my criticisms of modern cinema).

Secondly, the characters are utterly charming, and the setting of Paris is perfectly depicted!
Yeah, the story is nothing to write home about, but for the visuals and characters alone, it’s worth watching.

The ‘comedic’ bumblings of the butler, and his storyline, were utterly boring though!

Still, check it out and admire the artwork and risk-taking of a bygone era.
