I'm watching The Aristocats for the first time as a childless man in my 40s and getting VERY mad at Edgar for not realizing that even if the cats inherit the estate "first," they're CATS. You've inherited everything! They won't spend money! Just take care of them! The tuna bills won't break you! - ThreadSky

This is absolutely the right take

jaaaaaaassica.bsky.social•36 days ago

Everybody wants to be a cat is a banger.

amarismorningstar.bsky.social•36 days ago

Edgar was straight up an idiot

druidmaebh.bsky.social•36 days ago

There’s a moment where he tries to calculate how long the 9 lives of each cat would take and yeah, he’s not too bright lol

rastergrafx.bsky.social•35 days ago

But then we wouldn't have a movie...

dankmccoy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tragic

jayreb.bsky.social•36 days ago

Isn’t that the one where the family all bones eachother?

kyleon0130.bsky.social•36 days ago

I literally said the same thing when my girlfriend showed me this movie.

drummerfromfife.bsky.social•36 days ago

I grew up on the movie, it was actually my first from Disney, but yeah, Edgar wasn't thinking clearly. They're not gonna use that fortune. He'd be better off just getting rid of the cat when the boss died...

bryanhowell.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah but those cats have fantastic lawyers.

shavastak.bsky.social•36 days ago

He's a greedy a** and he hates cats - therefor he is among the most hateable of Disney villains.

rocketboy1313.bsky.social•36 days ago

There is certainly an indignity to the whole situation.

quicksandbuddy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Oh man, be ready for some jumpscare racism in the best musical number of the movie

supensaatsu.bsky.social•36 days ago

The only reasons Edgar became the bad guy in the Aristocats was because he had poor math skills and believed myths.

stlcatfishmike.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah I could do quite well “managing” the cats estate.

jaykrowling.bsky.social•35 days ago

One of my most vivid childhood memories is of our VHS copy of the film with a Psyduck sticker on it, it is just non stop bangers and the reason I can't get Carmen out of my head

Let's combine "The Aristocats" with "The Aristocrats" and see how animated cats would tell the joke.

alpalinmi.bsky.social•36 days ago

One of our family’s favorites! Adorable movie!!

dankmccoy.bsky.social•36 days ago

If Edgar's this dumb she's right to leave the estate to the cats, and maybe they can take care of HIM.

padrock.bsky.social•36 days ago

I once heard Penn Jillette say he heard about a family going to see the aristocrats thinking it was the Aristocats and not walking out until 20m in, well after George Carlin talks about ricocheting his diarrhea off a hemorrhoid

Just wait till they get to the talent agency audition.

(looks in Emily Litella)

Oh. Never mind.

mrpothead.bsky.social•36 days ago

Edgar is so fucking dumb. He is one of those unfortunate examples in Anglo cinema that really argues for the British class system.
The cats would happily have kept him on until their deaths. Dumb fuck.

Dan, I came here originally to say put Post Malone in the “Prefontaine” remake, then I saw this.

robbonem.bsky.social•36 days ago

For a minute there, I thought you wrote "Aristocrats".

gregorykohnhead.bsky.social•36 days ago

Dude just wait ‘til it gets real racist

dankmccoy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yeah, that one bit feels like they looked at Lady and the Tramp and said "We could take this further."
