Agree with everyone. Cruella is the most iconic villain from Disney so there is no competiton between she and Edgar, who I don't mind he is kind of entertaining but really. The characters are better overall. Roger, Nanny, Tibbs, the Horse, Sheepdog, Horace and Jasper. Pongo is the only cool dog however. The rest are forgettable and Anita is kind of bland. I prefer the Duchess over Perdita personally.

I do like the Aristocats EWTBAC is great and it has it's cute moments but there is no denying Dalmatians is the better and more memorable film.

I used to like The Aristocats when I was young, but now I just find it uninteresting like most 70's-80's films. It seems apparent that they took elements from both Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians ant tried to do those with cats instead of dogs.
Anyway now I prefer 101 Dalmatians for its superior narrative and Cruella de Vil.

Dalmatians. It's one of the studio's best films. Gorgeous nifty artsy style, engaging characters, top notch villain(ness). The Xerox style fits this one like a glove with the dogs fur and stains vs. the somber London setting and the snowy country road.

I like Aristocats, it's fun but not on the same level.

I gotta be honest, I feel like the only way one could really prefer The Aristocats is if they're a big cat person.

However, I am 100% a dog person, and I think 101 Dalmatians is a better made movie on every level, even removing my biases.

I’m a big cat person and I still prefer Dalmatians. :lol: A comparable discussion would be Chicken Little v. Bambi, which do you prefer? :P I know, Aristocats isn’t as bad as CL by any means, just it doesn’t compare for me at all to Dalmatians.

I tried to watch again The Aristocats a couple of weeks ago and I didn't finish it. In my opinion 101 Dalmatians has a better story, the characters have more personality and the puppies are more cute. The aristocats in my opinion has a undefined story. It looks like they united some gags and different scenes together in the same movie. The geese part is unnecessary in my opinion and it makes me feel that the movie is not going to end
