Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The Aristocats is available as a Blu-ray Combo Pack now and you will want to own this Disney Musical that is something to purr about. Duchess is a rich cat and the mother of three kittens, and her master’s butler has a plan to kidnap them all for the money. It is up to alley cat Thomas O’Malley and his buddies to stop this from happening. In the process all of these cats will become cool cats to each other. The sweet tail, I mean tale, is told with music that you won’t be able to get out of your head. So why not own it, so that you can sing along with the pussy cats whenever you want.
Along with the beautifully remastered movie, you get several enjoyable special features. My favorite one was the animated story of cats came to be in The Great Cat Family. It is also interesting to hear about the songs that didn’t make movie and see how they would’ve been incorporated into the film.
Here are the special features included with the 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (1 Disc Blu-ray + 1 Disc DVD):
§ The Lost Open: legendary songwriter Richard Sherman introduces an early story board iteration of an opening scene complete a deleted character named “the Maid” and demos for the deleted songs “How Much You Mean to Me” and “Court Me Slowly.”
§ “Oui Oui Marie” Music Video
§ Deleted Song – “She Never Felt Alone”: This deleted song, complete with animation, will tug at the heartstrings of any animal lover, as Duchess explains to Thomas O’ Malley why she must return to her beloved owner Madame Bonfamille. Richard Sherman discusses the song he co-wrote with his brother Robert, which captures the special relationship between a pet owner and their animal. It’s a moving sequence that will stir everyone’s fondest memories of their favorite pets.
§ The Sherman Brothers: The Aristocats of Disney Songs: A tribute to the legendary Disney songwriting team of Robert and Richard Sherman, with particular emphasis on “The Aristocats.”
§ The Great Cat Family (Excerpt): This animated excerpt tells the history of cats from ancient Egyptians to the present.
