"The Aristocats," 1970 is an animated feature film produced and released
by Walt Disney Productions. This was the last film project to be
approved by Walt Disney himself, as he died in late 1966, before the
film was finally released to theaters by Buena Vista Distribution on
December 11, 1970. "The Aristocats" featured the voice talent of Eva
Gabor, Hermione Baddeley, Phil Harris, Dean Clark, Sterling Holloway,
Scatman Crothers, and Roddy Maude-Roxby.
The film is based on a story by Tom McGowan and Tom Rowe, and centers
around a family of aristocratic cats. After the mistress's butler
kidnaps them (to gain his mistress' fortune which was intended to go to
the cats) an unlikely alley cat acquaintance helps them escape and be
returned to their home.
Original production animation cel of Toulouse without the background.
Toulouse is the oldest of the three kittens, he has green eyes, orange
fur, a lighter orange stomach, and he wears a bright blue bow tie around
his neck. He aspires to be an alley cat and he is known to puff up his
chest and hiss to prove he is tough. Toulouse is a city in Haute-Garonne
region of southwestern France; and because he aspires to be a painter
and paints daily, he was very likely named after the famous French
painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrc. Toulouse was animated by Ollie
Johnston and Frank Thomas and voiced by Gary Dubin.
This is a wonderful original production cel of Toulouse. He is full figure, eyes and mouth open, and looking down from his perch covered by a piece of lace. An absolutely beautiful image of the very artistic kitten and a great addition to any animation art collection!
