''Edgar'' is a fic by The Parody Master. It is a PerspectiveFlip of ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' about the movie's villain, Edgar, which is all about how Edgar was really a misunderstood hero throughout the original movie who intends to do the right thing and help the cats despite being pushed around by Georges and Madame, who are actually kind of horrible.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Edgar...supposedly. Whereas he was trying to get rid of the cats in the original movie, here he's trying to save them and himself from Georges.
