It’s embarrassing enough that the Siamese cats’ names are Si and Am, which is just lazy. What’s worse is that the Siamese cats are, of course, the villains of Aunt Sarah’s household, and just from their appearance, you know you aren’t supposed to trust them. During their introduction song, the soundtrack plays them for maximum gong, with The King and I-like music, buckteeth and strange Eastern accents. Cats get a pretty bad rap in the movies, but it’s clear that those slinky, shifty Asians are far more untrustworthy.
Takeaway: Buy a dog.
