Classic film about rich cats in trouble. 1970. Director: Wolfgang Reitherman.
The cats Duchess and her kittens Marie, Toulouse and Berloiz live in a big mansion with their kind owner Madame Bonfamille and her butler Edgar. He seems to be pretty stupid and clumsy.
But when the old and weak Madame Bonfamille tell her lawyer that she wants her dear cats to inherit her money and that Edgar will take care of them until they die. When the cats are dead, Edgar will be given the remaining fortune.
Edgar hears this and thinks that he must get rid of the cats so that Madame Bonfamille will believe that her little darlings are dead, and then Edgar will get the money.
So, Edgar gives the cats sleeping pills and then he kidnaps them to drive far away to leave them. But he's supriced by the two dogs Napoleon and Lafayette. After a fight, the cats are left under a bridge, alone in the country side.
The cats then wake up in their bed-basket, and are terrified of the fact that they're totally lost. But with the help of an alley cat named Thomas O'Malley, maybe they'll get back to Madame Bonfamille in time.
This film is boring, that's what I thought when I saw this as a child, and that's what I think now. Duchess is very pretty in her white fur and diamond necklace.
