Top Cat - The Movie (U)

TC and the gang finally hit the big screen thanks to Vertigo Films in a laugh out loud cartoon for all the family, as once again they get up to no good in Top Cat - The Movie.


While maintaining the look and feel of the iconic Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the early 1960's, TC and the gang have been modernised to a New York city filled with mobile phones, surveillance CCTV and robotic cops. The distinctive voice of TC is still as strong as ever and the laughter's non-stop with the familiar faces of Benny, Choo Choo, Brain, Fancy Fancy and Spook still causing havoc. However, the new Chief of Police, Lou Strickland, proves to be a much sterner test than his predecessor.

TC's latest adventure involves getting close to the visiting Maharaja of Pikachu who is well know for his generous tips of rubies. TC and Benny don disguises and introduce themselves to the dignitary in a comical attempt to land more than their fare share of rubies. Meanwhile, the new Chief of Police is installing modern gadgets and robotic cops to put an end to the gang's mischievous doings, forcing the smart TC to adapt his cons to avoid capture. And of course there's love in the air, as dashing TC vies for the affections of the new Chief of Police's secretary Trixie.

Already released in it's native Mexico and South America, the film was a massive success taking just under $8million in its first 5 weeks. The film is sure to be a instant hit over here too, and one for the whole family to enjoy.
