1 The opening titles spelled the movie title differently. But one of the kittens rearranges the movie title correctly. What was the variant spelling corrected by one of the little kittens?
Answer: The Aristocrats

The opening credits showed the title "The Aristocrats". But then one of the kittens removed the second "R" and pushed the letters together, so the correct title "The Aristocats" would appear.
The movie is set in Paris 1910, where a female cat and her three kittens lived their lives of luxury in a mansion inhabited by a single lady from the aristocracy.
As explained in the script (which was also published as a children's book), the lady intended to call her cats the "aristocratic cats", but this was too long. So she shortened it to "the Aristocats".
The opening credits were accompanied by the song "The Aristocats" by Maurice Chevalier (1888-1972).
The false titles I provided may highlight some elements of the plot, but they are all figments of my imagination.

7 The female star of the movie was a white cat with blue eyes, determined to educate her three kittens to well-mannered members of the feline upper class. What is the name of this stylish cat?
Answer: Duchess

As clearly indicated by her name, this was not an ordinary cat - she was a respected member of female nobility. Her name was Duchess, not one of the ruling class but a high ranking among nobility.
Duchess was very fond of Madame Adelaide (Bonfamille). She would frequently cuddle her "Madame" and could be found often in her arms.
In her relation with the other animals, Duchess always insisted on maintaining the etiquette, although at times she could not suppress a giggle.
The role of Duchess was voiced by Eva Gabor (1919-1995), but her songs were voiced by Robie Lester (1925-2005).
There are many princesses in various Walt Disney movies (remember for instance "Cinderella" or "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"), but not a single princess appeared in "The Aristocats".

8 Who is the villain/antagonist of the movie?
Answer: Edgar

Edgar's motive for doing what he did? Frustration and impatience, from both not inheriting Madame's fortune first, and with the "time" that he'd have to wait for the cats to die (he had messed up on his math, thinking the cats would've lived up to 432 years ["That's 4 times 12, multiplied by 9 . . . no that's not right."] when he would've had to wait around 12).

The other names are also those of Disney villains. Amos Slade is from "The Fox and the Hound", Percival McLeach is from "The Rescuers Down Under" and Claude Frollo is from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

Question Reference: Quiz: The Aristocats.
13 The three kittens in the movie each had their own talents. Toulouse was a painter, Berlioz played the piano, but what was Marie's talent?
Answer: Singing

Toulouse, the eldest kitten (a ginger kitten) was aspiring to be a painter - as his name indicated (his name was derived from the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec). Berlioz, the youngest kitten (a blue one - truly blue that is, not the grey colour that is named blue in cat standards), played the piano. His name also pointed at his talent: he was named after the French composer and conductor Hector Berlioz.
Marie, the white kitten, had a talent for singing - as well as her mother Duchess. This is revealed in the scene "Scales and Arpeggios", where Berlioz played a happy tune (soon to be joined by Toulouse), and Marie sang first solo, then in a duet with her mother Duchess.
Gary Dubin (1959-2016) voiced Toulouse, Dean Clark voiced Berlioz, and Liz English (born 1962) voiced Marie. Amazingly I didn't found any biographic data about Dean Clark.
Real-life cats do sing sometimes, although Dutch idiom has equaled cat's song with cat's whining. To cat lovers as myself, a cat duet can be quite ravishing.

18 Who is Adelaide's (Madame's) lawyer/attorney?
Answer: Georges Hautecourt

When we first see Adelaide entering her house with her parcel, she stops and says "Oh, and Edgar, I'm expecting my attorney, Georges Hautecourt. You remember him, of course?" Edgar replies with a gleeful "Of course, Madame . . . how could anyone forget him?" In the opening credits, though, he is merely listed as 'lawyer.'

The other three names are of other Disney characters: Roger Radcliffe is Pongo's owner from "101 Dalmatians", Padraic Ratigan (yes, the books say his first name) is the main villain from "The Great Mouse Detective", and Preston Whitmore is the old flexible man, and friend of Milo Thatch, from "Atlantis, the Lost Empire".
