** Scat Cat was originally written with Music/LouisArmstrong in mind, with his original name being Satchmo Cat. Unfortunately, illness kept Louie from being able to play the intended character who was then reworked and recast with Scatman Crothers. "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" replaced the song the Sherman Brothers wrote for Armstrong, "Le Jazz Hot". Armstrong died seven months after the movie's release.

** ''Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians1996'': When the puppies are about to receive their collars, they are shown watching TV, much like in [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians the original film]]. Here, they are shown watching ''The Aristocats'', during the closing of the "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" sequence before changing the channel to ''Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney'', showing Shadow being reunited with Peter.
** ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'':
*** O'Malley and the Alley Cats have appeared on the show from time to time. A RunningGag is that they are constantly invited to perform at the House, but something always happens that results in their act being canceled.
*** In the ''[=MouseWorks=]'' short "Pluto's Magic Paws", Pluto is looking for something dog-related to watch on television, only to find that [[YourTelevisionHatesYou every channel is showing cat-centric programming instead]]. One of the movies playing is ''The Aristocats''.

* OneBookAuthor: This film is the only voice acting roles for former child actors Liz "Louise" English and Dean Clark. After the film's release, Liz English (Marie) became a regular on The Benny Hill Show between 1978-1986 and one of the original members of Hill's Angels. Nowadays she's more active in plays, theaterical shows, and nationally-touring musical-theatre productions in the UK. Her most recent apperance on television was in a UK commerical for "Key Advice Release" from 2018 as one of the characters. Occasionally she would sign autographs featuring Marie such as animations cells from the film and various Marie merchandise. However, The Aristocats is the only acting role for Dean Clark (Berlioz), who hasn't reappeared in anything since then.
