AristoCats by Tom McGowan, Tom Rowe and… seven other writers

                I loved the AristoCats!

                However, it was…thirty years ago…

                Cartoons were meant to be for children, when I was a little boy.

                Now, it seems this is the level of the American president.

A man who states with pride that he does not read and needs everything on one page, which must include references to…himself.

                Otherwise, his goldfish attention span will just make him lose interest.

Alas, as many comedians point out, Trump is not an outlier, maybe not even an accident that can happen even in most advanced democracies.

                He is a reflection, maybe the epitome of what happens in society.

So many voters get their “cultural intake” from cinema fare that is based on comic books, many worse than animation movies.

Indeed, one can easily dismiss Transformers, Iron Man one, two to twenty and other such productions as much worse than:

                The AristoCats

Bill Maher was pondering this issue in his latest episode of the effervescent, cultural HBO show:

                Real Time

Americans often pretend they go to a bookshop to buy something to read, only that is a…calendar with cats

Furthermore and equally outrageous, one can find on display coloring books for…adults in a section that should be called…

               

Seriously?

                AristoCats is an aristocratic, noble film in so many ways.

Duchess and her Berlioz, Toulouse and Marie are sophisticated, admirable, ebullient, gracious creatures…

                If cats

                But then:

“Ev'rybody, Ev'rybody

Ev'rybody wants to be a cat”

Most people don’t know that…to quote the leader of the free world who keeps saying that, even if the same Bill Maher underlines that:

This proves what a ridiculous fool this leader is, with a propinquity to kindergarten children, stating the obvious that

                Everybody knows

                Any of the AristoCats is more intelligent than this buffoon.

Thomas O’Malley, the alley cat, is more endearing, better behaved, more respectful, moral and ethical than the always-lying Donald.

Why would a viewer make this forced connection between the Duchesse, Berlioz, Toulouse, Marie, O’Malley and The Donald?

First- this CEO of America seems to be the crude, simple adult that watches cartoons and comic book based motion pictures.

Second- The AristoCats, as aforementioned are actually beyond the comprehension-now there’s a word this orange jerk probably does not understand- of a man that grabs women by their genitals and/or brags about that.

Third and to conclude: it seems to this viewer that AristoCats is in part about a thousand fold more clever, superior, charming, effervescent, triumphant, clever, way more modest, feline version of Donald, who thinks of himself as:

               

“I'm king of the highway

Prince of the boulevard

Duke of the Avant-garde

The world is my backyard

So if you're goin' my way

That's the road you wanna seek

Calcutta to Rome or home sweet home

In Paris, Magnifique, you all…”
