This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

For those who think this pays homage to an icon of the American Childhood, think again, this doesn't pay homage to it, it practically destroys its very memory. The Voice acting is a joke, the animation has gone from classical drawn animations with smooth movements to something that could have been done by a 1st year art student, the 3d backgrounds are dark and grainy, the characters have been cut down from their original dignified selves into God only knows what and there's this idiotic running gag about how the bad guy constantly talks about how handsome he is even though he's as ugly as sin. But unlike most running gags where it comes up only every other time, say three or four times throughout the whole film, this one brings it up all the time, I'd say I counted it being brought up about 15 to 20 times in one half our section, talk about wearing it thin. Care Bears in Wonderland did a better job with Grumpy Bear's desire for food!Basically folks, steer clear of this mess if you want your childhood memories to stay perfectly intact and/or if you want your children's sanity intact.

As a kid I loved the Hanna Barbera TV 'toons, and the limited animation didn't bother me until later. Top Cat (puzzlingly sometimes known as "Boss Cat" in the UK, despite the theme song clearly calling it "Top Cat") was never a favourite, although I definitely saw my share of it. So I went along to see this movie more out of nostalgia than anything else.The plot could have come out of any episode of the series, albeit here it is dragged out to feature length. It features a new character who turns out to be a police chief who intends to a) sideline Officer Dibble and b) frame Top Cat, apparently doing this so that he can install equipment to spy on everyone, everywhere. This is not an adult plot, and should not be judged as such. Unfortunately, while it may be a juvenile plot, it doesn't include much to entertain kids.This film definitely doesn't hold much to interest an adult viewer. There is the initial nostalgia thing - the characters are all on model and the voices are reasonable approximations of the original - and the animation, while hardly ground breaking, is an improvement on the TV series. The 3D is OK.But otherwise, this film has little to recommend it. The villain is irritating - there is a running "joke" about how handsome he thinks he is when he's clearly hideous and the story doesn't sustain a feature film.

I don't know in other countries, but Top Cat may be the most beloved cartoon character in Mexico and it was a great decision to go for the rights and make Top Cat and the gang live again, from the silly Brain to the lovely Benny, each one of the characters brings great memories, catchy phrases, crazy words and a humor that is not seen often in actual animation movies. Another great decision was to keep the characters in 2D, that's how we remember them, no need to "update" them like Yogi or the Smurfs, that's how we still love them. What else can i say, i loved it, my wife and kids too, i was the happiest man with all the merchandising of the characters. The gang is back for good, hopefully we can keep them between us for many many years to come.

When knowing about this movie being made i had my doubts it could be as much fun as any of the episodes of the series. What a pleasant surprise to find out a story that takes me to a ride through many of those great stories about this curious gang and their leader. From the original Alo Hawaii, through Arabela, the great Maharaja and many other characters that are stuck in our memories and great lines from each character of the gang, Top Cat, Benny, Choo Choo, Spook, Fancy Fancy and my personal favorite in this movie, Brain. Very entertaining for the kids, a fabulous ride to the past for the adults who grew up with Don Gato. A family film everybody will enjoy.
