TOP CAT: THE MOVIE (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.6|5.0 Starsìì

Top Cat: The Movie—may be a fair-to-middling movie for children, not great for adults—has no fault in the voice casting choices. Kudos to Jason Harris in picking the voices for this animated feature. The animation? If you love all the new computer animation capabilities the movie industry offers, you’ll be disappointed in the traditional animation format this film delivers.
