How The Hell Did This Film Became A Hit In Mexico

Warning: Spoilers
Wow i was stunned,shocked and left disappointed after is saw this my childhood favorite show is destroyed i used to watch top cat in 90s along with other hit shows top cat was produced in early 60s and so far total of 30 episodes are out there i love tom & jerry but top cat was one of its kind this cat was cool,stylish plus a real genius who can find a solution to almost every problem in the world.

I don't know why the real makers after Hannah Barbera made more of top cat shows they should have released a film in 90s i didn't knew something like that existed until i was given a DVD the store owner said it was the best one so i picked it up and as i began watching it i felt happy but my happiness did not last long as the choppy editing,bad dialogs,shaky animation with little cgi started to appear top cat was looking so out of shape here but i was willing to forgive all flaws until the story & characters went off limits and this is only 13 to 18 minutes in the beginning of the film.

The plot:top cat,the boys & officer Dibble get caught in a crime involving coning of a Mahajara a new police chief who is very strict and taking notice of top cat's every move but a villain has some other plans.

The script was so wrong the bad guy was lame and what is top cat doing in the jail this was almost like a parody on The Shawshank Redemption there are many funny moments in the film but can never match the classic top cat the whole film is so boring even kids wont watch it i somehow sat through this while eating enough food so i could not go to sleep they showed top cat as a dumb character,they set the story in modern age but roads & buildings are from 1930's may i ask why top cat is still living in a bad alley & sleeping in below standard trash cans different from other that he usually sleeps into.

The voice acting is nice but imagine Samuel.L.Jackson was added here it would have been so much fun i just don't get this was a American show why it was allowed to be made in Mexico i love Mexican shows & movies but with real life people in it not animation it is not their thing but surprisingly this became a hit in 2011 in Mexico earning so much money there it was all for the love for tom cat nothing more.

Overall Top Cat:The Movie aka Don Gato y Su Pandilla 2011 is not for real top cat fans my rating is 2/10.Skipp It.
