MARIE ARISTOCATS

This is another Disney character that was not on mine or my daughter’s radar. Marie is a white cat from the Disney movie Aristocats. Marie is voiced by Liz English in the movie. Marie is the middle kitten and the only girl. She is portrayed as snobbish towards her brothers but is her mother’s special companion. She is named after the last queen of France Marie Antoinette.
