The Aristocats
The Aristocats is a 1970 Disney animated film about a family of aristocratic cats in Paris who are abandoned by a scheming butler and must find their way home with help from an alley cat.
The title puns on "aristocrats," and the film is remembered for its jazz-inflected soundtrack: The kids watched The Aristocats on repeat.
