A 1970 American animated feature film produced and released by [[Disney|Walt Disney Productions]].
A man walks into a [[Disney]] talent agency and says, "[[The Aristocrats|Have I got an act for you!]]".
 
"[[Gay Paree|Paris]], [[The Edwardian Era|1910]]. The [[Uncle Pennybags|fabulously wealthy]] retired opera singer Madame Adelaide Bonfamille has decided to [[Pet Heir|leave her entire fortune to her high-society pet cats]]. Her butler, Edgar, wanting the fortune for himself, drugs the felines with sleeping pills and abandons them in the French countryside... the night after the will was made... [[Sarcasm Mode|which isn't the least bit suspicious]].▼
The agent leans back in his chair and says, "Okay, tell me about this act."
 
"Unlike cats in the real world, classy Duchess and her three kittens decide to make their way back home with the help of streetwise alley cat Thomas O'Malley. Along the way, he takes them to hang out with his alley cat friends, who treat the pets to some anachronistic jazz music (accompanied by even more anachronistic [[The Sixties|psychedelic graphics]]). No prizes for guessing the ending: Duchess hooks up with Thomas O'Malley, and Edgar gets what's coming to him courtesy of the alley cats."▼
The man begins: "Talking cats!

The agent looks baffled. "Wow... what do you call an act like that?"
 
And the man replies with a smile, "The Aristocats!"
 
"I think you're on the wrong page -- this is about the [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney Animation]], the filthy joke is [[The Aristocrats|The Aristo]]''[[The Aristocrats|crats]]''."

* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: Yes, they did have motorcycles in 1910. They were invented in [[Older Than They Think|1885]]. Likewise, the [[Le Metropolitain|Métro 1]] opened in 1900.
** [[Anachronism Stew]]: On the other hand, swing music and a ''hippie'' cat in 1910.
