50 free The Aristocats trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Aristocats trivia quiz covers Disney's 1970 film from the plot up: Madame Adelaide's will, Edgar's sleeping pills and his motorcycle ride into the countryside, Napoleon and Lafayette, the milk truck, the train trestle, the Gabble geese and Uncle Waldo, Scat Cat's rooftop jam session and the packing case bound for Timbuktu. It asks about the kittens' names and talents, the voice cast from Phil Harris and Eva Gabor to Sterling Holloway and Scatman Crothers, and the animals who help save the day. It also covers how the film got made: the live-action TV script it started as, the last project Walt Disney personally approved, the maid who was cut, the songs the Sherman Brothers wrote and lost, Maurice Chevalier coming out of retirement, and how the film became the biggest hit of 1971 in France and Germany. About a third are easy for anyone who has seen it, a third are medium, and the rest are for real Disney nerds. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and the production histories it cites, and each question carries the sentence that establishes it.

Q 11In The Aristocats, which two farm dogs ambush Edgar in the countryside?
Napoleon and Lafayette
Napoleon and Lafayette guard a French farm yet drawl like American country boys: their voices came from two Alabama-born sitcom stars, Pat Buttram of Green Acres and George Lindsey of Mayberry R.F.D.
Q 12What does the lead farm dog in The Aristocats do whenever his partner makes a suggestion?
Adopts the idea as his own

Q 21What full name does O'Malley sing for himself in The Aristocats?
Abraham de Lacy Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley
Abraham de Lacy Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley is the name he sings, which Duchess says 'seems to cover all of Europe'; Italy's dub cut it down to Romeo, a Roman alley cat.
Q 22Which actress voices Duchess, the mother cat, in The Aristocats?
Eva Gabor
Eva Gabor was, the director said, 'probably the freshest femme voice we've ever had in a cartoon', and Duchess's ladylike personality was shaped around it; Robie Lester sang her songs.
Q 23Thurl Ravenscroft, the bass voice of the Russian cat in The Aristocats, spent five decades as which cereal mascot?
A milk truck
A milk truck: O'Malley stops it by leaping at the windscreen, the cats help themselves to breakfast in the back, and the furious driver chases them off.
Q 14When two geese spot O'Malley thrashing in a river in The Aristocats, what do they assume he is doing?
Learning to swim
Learning to swim, they decide, and badly: the geese offer a lesson and snip the willow branch he is clinging to, so their help very nearly drowns him.

Abigail and Amelia Gabble
Abigail and Amelia Gabble are twin sisters on a walking tour of France, and they make the cats waddle along behind them in goose formation.
Q 16In The Aristocats, what is the name of the two geese's tipsy uncle?
Uncle Waldo
Uncle Waldo staggers out of a restaurant that had planned to cook him, already 'basted in white wine', and O'Malley decides he has been marinated in it.
Q 17In The Aristocats, where does Edgar plan to ship the cats after recapturing them?
Timbuktu
Timbuktu: Edgar locks the cats in a trunk bound for it, but after the stable fight it is the butler himself who is shut inside and carted away.
Q 18In The Aristocats, what kind of animal is Roquefort?
A mouse
A mouse, which is awkward when Roquefort is sent to fetch a gang of alley cats: they toy with him while he guesses O'Toole and O'Brien before blurting out O'Malley's name.
Q 19In The Aristocats, Frou-Frou, who helps subdue Edgar, is what kind of animal?
A carriage horse
A carriage horse: Frou-Frou pulls Madame's coach, and Edgar unwisely boasts to her about the catnapping in the stable while Roquefort listens from the oats.
Q 20Who voices both Baloo and Thomas O'Malley of The Aristocats?
Phil Harris
Phil Harris had shown in The Jungle Book how far a star voice could shape a character, so O'Malley was built around his easy-going patter, and Little John in Robin Hood followed.
Tony the Tiger
Tony the Tiger was Ravenscroft's for more than fifty years, always without credit, which is why one of America's most-heard voices belonged to a man few could name.
Q 24Which jazz legend was originally meant to voice Scat Cat in The Aristocats?
Louis Armstrong
Louis Armstrong was the model for Scat Cat's look and manner, but he dropped out before recording a line, and Scatman Crothers was hired and told to imitate him.
Q 25Which instrument does Scat Cat play in The Aristocats?
Trumpet
Trumpet: Scat Cat leads the alley band on it and hands it to one of the kittens for a go, only for a bandmate to judge that the youngster 'blew it'.
Q 26Which Aristocats character led Disney+ to pull the film from young children's profiles in 2021?

Wolfgang Reitherman
Wolfgang Reitherman, one of Disney's Nine Old Men, also produced the film and remade it from a sentimental tale about finding homes for the kittens into a comedy chase.
Q 28What distinction does The Aristocats hold in Walt Disney's own career?

Q 29The Aristocats was first planned as a two-part live-action story for which Disney television series?
Wonderful World of Color
Wonderful World of Color was the plan from 1962 until producer Harry Tytle suggested the cat story would work better as animation, and Walt Disney agreed in 1963.
Q 30Which Aristocats character, due to be voiced by Elsa Lanchester, was cut from the story entirely?
Elvira the maid
Elvira the maid was Edgar's partner in crime in the early drafts; dropping her left the butler as the lone villain and cost the film a comic duet written for the pair.
