The Aristocats (Disney Gold Classic Collection)

The Aristocats got its first DVD release on April 4, 2000 as the fourth Gold Classic Collection title from Walt Disney Home Video. This DVD lasted for six years, until it was discontinued in 2006.

Synopsis
Disney’s 20th full-length animated masterpiece, "The Aristocats" is an unforgettable mix of wild adventure, colorful characters, and jazzy music you’ll find absolutely irresistible!

This enchanting tale begins in Paris, when a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to her family -- a family of adorable high-society cats. But when Edgar, the greedy butler, overhears her plan, he catnaps Duchess, the elegant, soft-spoken mother, and her three mischievous kittens and abandons them in the French countryside. Soon they're being escorted home by the charming Thomas O'Malley, a rough-and-tumble alley cat. Along the way he takes them to his "pad," where Scat Cat and his band of swingin' jazz cats jam to the memorable "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat."

Enriched by "high-style Disney animation" ("The New Yorker") and toe-tapping music by Academy Award®-winning* songwriters the Sherman brothers ("Mary Poppins"), "The Aristocats" is a timeless treasure and the last animated feature to get the nod from Walt Disney himself.
