    Can you believe La La Land (2016) copied The Aristocats (1970)??

Children will not quibble over the fine points, and The Aristocats remains a first-rate entertainment for little ones. Compared to Saturday- morning television, the animation seems truly magical, although even in very young minds it probably will not linger with the same weight as Snow White or Pinocchio. [13 Apr 1987, p.C3]

This 1970 animated feature is dull, careless, and all too typical of the Disney studio's slapdash output.

It is light and pleasant and funny, the characterization is strong, and the voices of Phil Harris (O'Malley the Alley Cat) and Eva Gabor (Duchess, the mother cat) are charming in their absolute rightness.
