5 LESS KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THOMAS O'MALLEY THE ALLEY CAT

COMPLETE NAME:

Better known as Thomas O’Malley, the full name of the male protagonist in Disney’s animation film ’The Aristocats’ is  Abraham DeLacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley.

PERSONALITY:

Thomas O’Malley is a streetwise, carefree, Romeo of a tomcat who enjoys a life without rules or responsibilities. However, Thomas has it in him to be also kind, helping, caring and even fatherly and heroic if need be.

VOICE:

Phil Harris, the same actor who gave his voice to Baloo the bear in ’The Jungle Book’, is the one who voices O’Malley as well. This is quite interesting, as these two cartoons are related in a more sensitive way, too: ’The Jungle Book’ is the last animation film in the making of which Walt Disney himself was involved, while ’The Aristocats’ is the first done after the cartoons genius passed away. In light of this fact, it may not be too far-fetched to view these two characters who see the world as their backyard as some sort of Walt Disney’s aliases, a man known for creating new, fun and full of imagination worlds for himself and for all of us.

'ALL THE WAY TO TIMBUKTU' SHEER PANEL SWEATSHIRT AND COLOR BLOCK MINI SKIRT

This week's outfit focuses on a scene where – sacrilege! – cats are not necessarily the main focus: the fight scene between Thomas O’Malley and Edgar, Madame’s butler. 

'All the way to Timbuktu' outfit

After his first attempt to get rid of Duchess and her kittens fails, Edgar has a new idea to send them far far away, to a place where they cannot come back from – and that is all the way to Timbuktu. Edgar’s preparations to rid himself of the cats once and for all, one of the most dramatic and energetic scenes of the movie, culminate with his fight with O’Malley, who almost gets killed with a pitchfork. However, all the animals work together perfectly, and while Roquefort the mouse releases Duchess and the kittens from the coffer, Scat Cat’s band save O’Malley and help Frou-Frou the mare lock Edgar in his packing case. Thus Edgar gets sent to Timbuktu himself.  

'I'm sending you to Timbuktu, if it's the last thing I do!'

At some point in life, any woman ‘wants to be a cat’. That is she wants to be perceived as a feline – such a delicate and elegant appearance, yet strong and ferocious, if need be. There is no greater power a woman can have but when she feels powerful and confident, without losing her femininity, just like a feline that even when killing, she does it with grace. There is even a term in fashion that celebrates this incredibly stylish species: catwalk. 

I believe there is no other piece of clothing that can emulate the feline spirit than a good, sexy, yet classy dress. With the ‘Everybody wants to be a cat’ dress you will achieve just that refined feline air, without being too revealing.
