Growing up is when you realize that Edgar would have been the defacto beneficiary. All he had to do was make sure the cats were well taken care of. Oh and did he seriously think that each cat would live 108 years?

Poor stupid Edgar, didn't it occur to him that someone would need to take care of the pets once the old woman is dead?

I love how he says _"caAAAAATS??"_

While we all joke about Edgar's apparent lack of basic arithmetic, something to note is that he actually catches himself and says "No, it's less than that." He probably does know how math works, but just wasn't thinking clearly due to being so upset at the fact that the cats were getting the inheritance before him. Though that still wouldn't excuse him believing that cats actually have nine lives.

Does Edgar really believe that the cats' lifespan will be multiplied by their 'nine lives'? XD In total, that's 432 years (including Edgar's multiplication by 4 cats)

Really would it have been that hard for the crazy old lady to go: Edgar gets everything, on the condition he has to take care of the cats.

Edgar would have had control over the estate, so his plotting to get rid of the cats was all for nothing.

0:31 CATS???!! Edgar sounds like he coughed when he said "CATS???!!"

If you think about it, Edgar's the one who deserves his own movie not Cruella.

If Edgar hadn't heard about the will and overreacting over the cats outlive him before it's his turn to inherit his mistress's wealth, he could still have the chance someday while he looks after the cats even till madam's passing.

0:33 my reaction last year when my girl called and told me: "Let's go to the theater to watch the movie CATS"

After growing up, you begin to understand Edgar's anger and want him to win

I’ve gotta admit Edgar has a point. The lady is kind of insane giving her fortune to her cats. I mean it’s not like cats want anything to do with money.

0:33 CATS??!!

That happy dance he does is hilarious

Cruella De Vil: hates dogs Edgar: hates cats

Funny the difference of watching this movie at first as a kid versus watching it now as an adult. I can't say I agree with Edgar wanting to destroy the cats, but it is pretty crazy to want your pets to inherit an entire fortune, estate, and all your other possessions rather than a human you consider close to you, even if that person would still get something eventually. When I was a kid, I thought Madame's request made sense, since we all knew the cats were smart and sentient like humans, and they're Disney cats, so that makes them really special, right? It was because of this, and her love for her cats, that made me wonder if she had some kind of special connection and insight into just how special her cats are, which made her request for her will make even more sense to me, and made me respect her more. As an adult looking back on that, um, it's not like Madame or anyone else knew that about the cats; to the humans, they were just pets. So yeah, all around, her request makes no sense. LOL I gotta say, though, I still love Madame Adelaide. She may be irrational in dealing with her pets, but she still has such a grace and gentleness to her, and a love for those around her that is simply contagious. I still love her. :)

Years ago this cartoon was shown on TV, and my mother walked into the room to ask what we were watching. When I told her the cartoon was about a butler plotting to kill his boss' cats because she planned to leave her entire fortune to them, my mother simply said "Good".

Fun Fact: Edgar was originally going to have a partner-in-crime who was a scheming maid named Elvira.

Madame Adelaide was a kind caring woman, but a little eccentric. She only wanted Duchess and her kittens to be well looked after as she called them the greatest treasure she could own. I'm sure she meant that the heritance would be owned by the cats but Edgar would be in charge of managing the fortune. Maybe Edgar was too thick to realize this or just wanted all the fortune for himself.

Happy Birthday to Roddy Maude-Roxby (the voice of Edgar). He's 94 today!

1:20 "All of them dollars. 💵 Millions. 🤑 Those cats have got to go!"

I remember watching this movie on VHS when I was little. I would constantly rewind it when he said, "C A T S" because I couldn't stop laughing at it.

LOL 😂 0:50 "It's not fair! Woh!"

"Well as you know, I have no living relatives & naturally, I want my beloved cats to be always well cared for. And certainly no one can do this better than my faithful servant, Edgar" - Adelaide

I'm 27 years old and me and my wife still watch this movie and LOL at every good scene!

"All of them dollars... millions" Well, Edgar... you're a French parisian guy in 1910. So you better should speak in Francs, and having some "F" in the eyes instead $. Just sayin'

To admire the INSANE details of this animation masterpiece, turn off sound and put playback on 0.25.

And to this day, Edgar's VA is STILL alive!

While it’s unrealistic I thought of another more realistic way Edgar would be angry What if the cats had kittens? Would Adelaide’s Will apply to them too? Edgar would maybe be forced to look after the next gen, and the next until their bloodline either dies out or he does. If that’s the case then it is indeed a more realistic reason for Edgar to mad here

0:31 To your cats?

After all that hard work, she thanks him by not giving him a dime. 😂 I agree with Edgar

This scene always boggles my mind. Million dollars going to cats? Doesn't make any sense.

0:32 I wish Edgar would be so soft about this I thought he would be a caring butler

Well it is funny and creepy at the same time when Edgar says "cats" wheezily, i mean.

0:33 Sounds like F**king Edgar is saying "Bats." 🤣🤣🤣

Who feels bad for Edgar?

When I was a kid I didn't get this part until I got older. Yes, Edgar did get screwed over after all he's done for Madam as her butler. I see why he did it. Still not right to kidnap her cats and take them away from her.

While Cruella De Vil hates dogs, Edgar hates cats.😄

1:19 hypnotized me as a kid

0:33 CATS

0:39 The awkward moment you realize that Hideaki Anno copied this Disney movie to create the famous depressed pose of Shinji Ikari for the Neon Genesis Evangelion series.

Edgar is so stupid even by Disney Villain standards. Not only did he take the "nine lives" concept so literally he thought they would outlive him, he actually thought they would take turns aging? Even if the cats had somehow outlived him, he still would've have control of the money, because it's not like they could've spent it.

Roddy Maude Roxby is still alive to this day at 94 years of age. Ironically, he went the same path as George Hautecourt.

0:50 It's not fair! Whoa!

How the heck did they not hear Edgar ranting on and plotting? Edgar could clearly hear them through the tube so how come they didn't hear him? Especially at 0:50 where he's right near the tube. Maybe if he closed the hatch on it i'd buy it but he doesn't. I just don't get it

Nanny saves Puppies Madame Bonfamile saves Kittens

Note the goof that Edgar was wearing boxer but boxers weren’t invented until 1925 because the movie taken places in 1910.

0:50 Edgar Balthazar: [crossly] It's not fair! [thump] Ooh!

Do you think that when Edgar got to Timbuktu he would try to find a way to get back to Paris?

As much as I don't like Edgar, this scene with him is pretty funny. Edgar: "Those cats have got to go!" (rips his pants)

She should've put in her will. "I hereby bequeath all of my properties and assets to my butler Edgar, provided he continues to care for my beloved cats for the remainder of their natural lives." That would've prevented so much trouble.

"All of them dollas...👁️👁️💲💲millions..."

I don't care what anyone says, this guy MAKES this movie.

Who the fuck leave a fortune to some cats.

okay but as a kid I could never hate Edgar as the villain because I was so weirded out by how tiny his bedroom is compared to the rest of the huge mansion and even a 7 year old can understand that leaving ALL your money to your cats is kinda silly. And now as an adult the madame is definitely 100% the true villain here lmao like damn lady, maybe if you've paid him well enough he wouldn't have gone all rogue on your cats 😭.

1:09 Edgar starts his evil plan! 😈🐱

0:32 how do you sound like that!? 🤣🤣

Bernard Houseman as Edgar the Butler

0:32 When Villainous is on CN.

0:33 Cats?(gasps)

0:39 When someone didn't win the lottery.

Madame Adelaide Was Kind And Nice Caring Woman She Always Loves Her Pet Cat Dutchess And Her Kittens Is The Greatest Treasure She Could Own

Sounds like a big misunderstanding to me.

Imagine Edgar thinking about Gold Watchers from Dark Deception and found out how much they're worth. That could be TWICE as much like the mansion adding the plot to getting rid of the cats.

I remember seeing speaking tubes like that in an old victorian mansion that's a museum in my home town, was so blown away by that as a kid remembering this movie. Was back there this week and had to look this up.

1:18 Yes, because the US Dollar was the dominant currency in early-20th century France

"I'm sorry to tell you this, but the only movie we can afford watching right now is 'Cats'." 0:32

At 0:29, Edgar goes from being several inches away from the pipe, to being right up to it.

0:33 CHAATS!?

CATS?! 🤣🤣🤣

1:20 What goes on in Bob Iger's head when he buys a(nother) major corporation.

CAAHHHTS?!

The only Disney movie I remember where the butler is the villain. Yes, the butler did it!

Opening To The Aristocats 1997 VHS

0:33 CAAAAATS?

0:33 cAAAATS?!

I love his room

0:33- CATS?!

0:33 Pets?!

1:20 All of them dollars. 💵 Million. 🤑

Edgar looks funny. 0:24

true edgar isn't the smartest disney villain. but he was the most humane. i mean he could have killed them but he decided to leave them in the countryside instead. and when that failed, he was gonna send them to timbuktu

0:43 Edgar Balthazar: [wheezing] Cats inherit first? And I come after the cats. I, me, after... no, It's-- 0:50 [crossly] It's not fair! [hits his head on the voicepipe] Ooh! I mean, whew. Each cat will live about 12 years. I can't wait... And each cat has 9 lives. That's... 4 times 12, multiply by 9 times. No, it's less than that. Anyway, it's much longer than I'd ever live. I'll be gone. No. Ohh, no. They'll be gone. 1:14 [firmly] I'll think of the way. 1:16 [Chuckles] Ohh, why, there are a million reasons why I should-- 1:19 All of 'em dollars... Millions. Those cats have got to go. [ripped his jeans]

0:00 Madame Adelaide Bonfamille: Well, as you know, my friend, I have no living relatives, and naturally, I want my beloved cats... to be always well whatever cared for. And certainly no one can do this better than my faithful servant, Edgar.

Edgar was secretly eavesdropping 👂 to the will expecting to be inherented 💭

My honest opinion and comment about this scene of when Madame makes a will and Edgar becoming jealous of the cat being inherit first, I always doing this kind of act and possibly comedy sketch by myself just for fun. Even though Edgar is the villain, he is the most funniest character in this Disney classic movie. If I were making my own lines, I would think about how I react to everything Madame says about her will about inheritance. As Edgar listens to Madame's conversation about making her will, he was delighted, the way he dances at this part 0:27, when he thought that he was inherited to the mansion at first, but then when he heard that the cats are inherit first, he was so shocked, especially at this part 0:33 where he said 'Caaats!', 0:43 Disappointed about this, he plans to get rid of the cats in order to seize the fortune instead like he believes that the 4 cats have nine lives and he impatiently couldn't wait that long.

0:33 LOL!!!

And it’s all because Edgar believed some silly myth of cats having nine lives that he committed theft and now he’s right now in Timbuktu doing lord knows what…think about it for a moment people

Edgar was unaware that he was going to be kept in charge of the fortune all along.

Edgar: Dats *whisper* 😂😂😂😂

Considering the time and place this movie is set, can you blame Edgar for taking superstitions about cats seriously, and for being somewhat bad at math? And as an adult, I feel his despair all too well. All he knew in that moment was that decades of loyal service were being brushed aside in favor of a bunch of cats.

Poor Edgar feels left out, but thinking about money instead of the cats.

0:50 It’s not fair! 0:51 Whoo!

0:33 when I found out we were gonna see Cats instead of Rise Of Skywalker as originally planned.

0:33 Cats?!

Seriously though. What would've the cats done with all the money? Wasn't it still for Edgar to use however he liked for he was marked as their caretaker? This really confuses me.

1:19 When Disney is going to get Toy Story 5 and Frozen 3 and even more live-action remakes in production.

0:32 😺!? 😆

0:33 CAAAAATS
