Synopsis
Based on the much-loved Hanna-Barbera cartoon that has captivated the imagination of children and adults alike since it first appeared in the 1960s, TOP CAT: THE MOVIE brings the vibrancy, colour and retro charm of the original to a new generation in spectacular 3D that will amaze audiences young and old. This summer, after more than a 50-year hiatus, TC and his rap-trap feline gang return with ‘the most tip-top’ adventure that’s purrfect for all the family.
Benny the Ball, Fancy Fancy, Choo Choo, Spook and Brains, and the indisputable leader of the gang TC, are back at war with the long arm of the law when the menacing Police Chief Strickland moves to town, ousting the bumbling Officer Dibble.
Determined to put a stop to the feline antics in Hoagy’s Alley with the help of a bullying robot police force, the tech-savvy Strickland threatens to be the most dastardly enemy the gang has ever faced. With their wise-guy lifestyle hanging in the balance, TC and friends are forced to cash in on another of their nine lives to curtail Strickland’s reign of terror and claw their way back to the top!
Joining old favourites TC, his tip-top gang and Officer Dibble, TOP CAT: THE MOVIE sees the welcome return of a host of lovable characters from the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon, including the fiery tempered Griswald the Dog and the esteemed Maharaja of Pookajee.
The voice-cast bring all the New York swagger of the original cartoon to this wonderfully mischievous feature-length adventure.
