This Mexican made film has little to do with the Hanna Barbera cartoons apart from looking cheap although this one is in CGI.

This origins films does actually hark to the original cartoon series origins, which is Sergeant Bilko. Top Cat here is running scams and running rings around Officer Dibble and crossing swords with Mr Big.

We then get flashbacks as to how TC met Benny and later the rest of the gang before we see them all tackle Mr Big.

For me it is nostalgia if you keep your expectations low, the cartoon will entertain small children, it might keep older kids satisfied with references to pop culture and modern pop songs in the soundtrack.

The previous recent 'Top Cat' film was never destined to be a classic, but felt well-intentioned enough to the original show, and had some nice moments. When I heard there was to be another I expected more of the same.

Unfortunately they not only go down the CGI route for the animation, but also oddly make this a prequel to the original series.

It's not terrible, the voice cast do a decent job, but this film never really worked for me.

Awful CGI, lousy script, no laughs, nothing. I can't understand why anyone would choose to watch this. My 7 year old and 4 year old seemed enthralled by it, which is worrying and slightly concerning.
