The Aristocats  is a 1970 American animated  comedy film  produced by  Walt Disney Productions  and distributed by  Buena Vista Distribution. It is directed by  Wolfgang Reitherman  and written by  Ken Anderson,  Larry Clemmons, Eric Cleworth,  Vance Gerry,  Julius Svendsen,  Frank Thomas  and  Ralph Wright. It is the final Disney animated film made with the involvement of Walt Disney Productions' co-founder  Roy O. Disney  before his death on December 20, 1971. The film is based on a story by Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe, and revolves around a family of aristocratic cats, and how an alley cat acquaintance helps them after a butler has kidnapped them to gain his mistress's fortune which was intended to go to them. The film features the voices of  Phil Harris,  Eva Gabor,  Hermione Baddeley, Dean Clark,  Sterling Holloway,  Scatman Crothers, and  Roddy Maude-Roxby. In 1962,  The Aristocats  project began as an original script for a two-part live-action episode for  Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, developed by writers Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe and producer Harry Tytle. Following two years of rewrites, Tytle suggested the project would be more suitable for an animated film, in which Disney temporarily shelved the project while  The Jungle Book  (1967) advanced into production. When  The Jungle Book  was nearly complete, Disney appointed  Ken Anderson  to develop preliminary work on  The Aristocats, making it the last film project  to be personally approved  by Disney before his death. Longtime Disney collaborators  Robert and Richard Sherman  composed multiple songs for the film, though only two made it in the finished product. The Aristocats  was released on December 24, 1970, to generally positive reviews from film critics. It was also a commercial success. A  live-action  remake is currently in development, with  Questlove  attached to direct.
