on back of packaging:
In the pale moonlight, on a rooftop in Paris, / Thomas O'Malley and Duchess exchange adoring / glances. They've been acquainted for only a short / time, yet they've shared a lifetime of adventure! / Duchess has good reason to admire Thomas. This / savvy "cat of the world" helped her and her three / "aristokittens" find their way home after being / catnapped, driven to the countryside, and abandoned. / All of this happened because Edgar, butler to the / wealthy Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, overheard / Madame planning to leave her entire estate to / Duchess--and he was determined to have the fortune / for himself. / To enjoy the full effect of moonlight in this endearing / scene from Walt Disney's 1970 classic The Aristocats, / attach the clip on the back of the ornament directly / to a lamp socket on a miniature light string. No / separate connector cord is required. Complete / instructions enclosed. / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux jeunes enfants. / Handcrafted - Dated 2001
