Deleted Songs         

The Sherman Brothers wrote several songs for the film. However their deletion lead to them leaving Disney altogether in addition to their growing frustration with the new management. 

1. “How Much You Mean to Me / Court Me Slowly” - Edgar and Elvira  
2. “Pourquoi?” - Madame 
3. “My Way’s the Highway” - Thomas O’Malley 
4. “Le Jazz Hot” - (replaced by Everybody Wants to be a Cat)     
5. “She Never Felt Alone” - (is in the film but is spoken only and is shortened) 

Stage Adaptation    

There’s a Broadway Jr version of the movie called The Aristocats Kids. Which adds in whole new songs along with arrangements of the old ones. And it actually improves upon the story by giving Edgar a real motivation for getting rid of the cats as oppose to the film. 

1. “Prologue/The Aristocats” 
2. “Scales and Arpeggios”
3. “Use Your Nose”
4. “Thomas O'Malley Cat”
