An avaricious butler, Edgar, swipes Duchess and her kittens, Marie, Toulouse, and Berlioz after realizing they inherit before him. Together with an alley cat named Thomas O’Malley, they make their journey back to Paris and back to their owner. Going back however is easier said than done, and even after all that, Edgar bags them up and hires a crew to ship them to Timbuktu in Africa.

Even if Edgar’s academically challenged mind wasn’t an issue, can you blame him for being pissed off about the cats getting the inheritance first? He probably had crappy pay and long hours, much like how I did at Advance Auto Parts.

I think Thomas O’Malley was named after Tom in Tom and Jerry.

The part where Shun Gon slams a cymbal on his head reminds me of Dopey doing that.

Shun Gon’s been under fire in recent decades for being a racist stereotype. I’m completely against racism, however I can’t agree that Shun Gon really IS a racist stereotype; sure he’s saying “Shanghai Hong Kong Egg Foo Young” and “Fortune Cookie always Wrong” but that doesn’t translate to racism to me. Perhaps I’m not understanding the racism accusations here but I couldn’t find anything wrong with him. Besides, I’ve seen much, much worse; Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat and All This and Rabbit Stew, two horrible cartoons from the 1940s come to mind.

Some of the cat designs look eerily similar to cats seen in An American Tail. Did Don Bluth work on this?

1. Great animation, as typical for Walt Disney Productions (Now known as Walt Disney Pictures).
2. Scenes with Edgar and the dogs. You have to watch them for yourself to understand where I’m going with this. Sure it’s considered filler but it’s still decent.
3. O’Malley’s song after the wet night is the best song in the movie.
4. Watching the alley cats literally bring down the house is one of the most epic moments in Disney history.
5. Voice work is top notch and has some familiar faces, most notably Scatman Crothers who later was in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining!
6. Great humor in many areas, such as the Milkman – just look at O’Malley’s face as he’s clinging to the bottom back door flap!
7. Amazing soundtrack composed by George Bruns.

1. This is a big one. Edgar has got to be one of – if not THE worst Disney villain ever – yes, even more brain damaged than Aunt Sarah, Shan Yu or Hans (Frozen)! He literally thinks he’ll never get Madame Adelaide Bonfamille’s will just because he doesn’t understand SECOND GRADE MATH. Did this dipshit drop out of school or something?! He’s already dumber than the Ogre Magi from DOTA 2!
2. Marie can go suck on a nut. I don’t care if she’s a spotlight stealing punk; she’s just as obnoxious as Princess Ruto in Ocarina of Time. She acts like a pompous bitch throughout the entire movie and pretty much has this “please euthanize me” attitude. Even as a kid I just wished she was left behind in that trunk with Edger going to Africa.
3. The rest of the song numbers are pretty lousy. Scales and Arpeggios has been ranked as one of the worst songs by a reviewer.
4. The plot itself is relatively similar to 101 Dalmatians.
