Will kids respond to a half-CG half-hand-drawn take on Top Cat, even if it is in 3D? The juries out on that, and it’ll be tested on June 1st when Vertigo Films releases this new take on the classic character to cinemas. The voices aren’t quite right, but the characters have been kept exactly as they were in the early 60s Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Take a look at the trailer to see what you think.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘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 9 lives to curtail Strickland’s reign of terror and claw their way back to the top!’
