Feature Film
Further information: Top Cat: The MovieAnima Studios of Mexico has produced a feature film in 2D and 3D, entitled Don Gato y su Pandilla (the name used for the Spanish dub of the series). The film was initially released exclusively in Mexico and South American markets on September 13, 2011 by the Latin American branch of Warner Bros. Pictures (whose parent company, Time Warner owns Turner Entertainment, which acquired Hanna-Barbera in 1990). The film was released in cinemas as Top Cat: The Movie in the United Kingdom through Vertigo Films in June 1, 2012. To date, there has been no word from Warner Bros. if the film will be released in any form in the United States or Canada.
The movie has become one of the most successful Mexican movies ever; in its 5th week it had earned 108 million pesos (about US$7,929,515). However, the English dub of the film received overwelmingly negative reviews from UK critics criticizing the animation and voice acting.
