George Plimpton hosted this Disney parody of Masterpiece Theater. It only ran for one season, which I find incredible, because the idea of Mickey and Goofy tackling Shakespeare is an appealing one. Plus, hello, George Plimpton was hosting! An even bigger resume point for him, I’m sure, than his involvement with The Paris Review.

I believe that most of us would consider this “classic” Disney. Most of us could, upon request, sing part of at least one song from this film. What’s that I hear? A request? Well, I don’t kno—”I wanna be where the people are, I wanna see, wanna see ‘em dancin’, walkin’ around on those—whad’ya call ‘em?—Oh. Feet.” It’s true, I opted for something other than “Under the Sea.” I’m unpredictable like that. This film helped rejuvenate the Disney animated film franchise, which had been faltering (both commercially and critically) through the ’80s. And to this day, every child I know owns and watches this movie repeatedly, each time like it’s the first time.

Though this 1970 Disney film (the first not to be supervised by Mr. Disney) was not a commercial success, it seems that many people still hold the film dear. How could you not? The playful pun of the film’s title? The drugging of adorable cartoon kittens? A kidnapping plot? Cats singing jazz in 1910 France? I like the “scales and arpeggios” scene with the piano-playing cats. Commercial success or not, I’ll take my Aristocats over Disney’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Singing animals are not always a pleasure to watch.

Does anyone even remember these? They were basically “electronic storybooks”. You were supposed to read the book and whenever you came across a picture within the text, you had to press the button on the side panel that matched the picture to hear the sound it represented. Quite a few of them were put out by Disney. I think they make books with the same concept today, but the ones from the early 90’s were so much cooler.

Confession: I still sometimes play with these in the store. They combine my three favorite things: Pictures, sound clips, and button pressing.

This 1960 Disney movie had it all: Pirates, dangerous wildlife, family drama, booby traps, treehouses, and romance. It hit all the right notes, which perhaps explains why it was one of the most successful family films ever made. And for all of you wishing you could see this classic updated and brought back to the big screen, you’re in luck! A remake, slated for release in 2012, is currently in production. Start the betting now: Just how bad do you think Disney will mess it up?
