      I liked Breakfast at Tiffany’s as a kid and I remember being 10 or 11 and realizing Mr. Yunioshi was fucked up. And then a few years later, realizing Holly Golightly is a prostitute involved with the mafia.

      Parenting seems hard. I think my mom was like, “Whatever. An old Audrey Hepburn movie. It’s probably like My Fair Lady.” Nope!

        I’ve never seen it because I was “not like the other girls” as a kid, but holy shit. I’ve seen clips of the yellow face, but I’ve never heard anything about prostitution or the mafia. I had several friends who got really into it in middle and high school, including one whose Facebook last name she changed to golightly, so I don’t think your mom was alone in that thinking.

        Now I kind of want to watch it with adult eyes, is it worth it?

    I mean, how are they going to get an actor to do a flip off of a trapeze onto a dildo lubed with whale oil while singing “dixie”?

    Ohhhh, wait, you said aristocats

    A few reasons.

    First, the movie isn’t that popular.

    Second, I think it would be harder to get the essence of the movie across in a live action format. There are musical instrument playing cats in this movie, and the cats playing musical instruments is a big part of the appeal. I don’t see how Disney can do this in “live-action” and make it look decent.
