What happens

Top Cat: The Movie (known in Spanish as Don Gato y su Pandilla, "Top Cat and His Gang") is a 2011 animated action comedy film based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Top Cat, which originally ran from 1961 to 1962 on ABC in the United States. Directed by Alberto Mar from a screenplay by Tim McKeon and Kevin Seccia, the film serves as the series finale of the show. Produced by Ánima Estudios and Illusion Studios, the film was first released to theaters in Mexico on September 16, 2011, in 2D and 3D formats, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film was later released in the United Kingdom on 1 June 2012, distributed by Vertigo Films, where it grossed £2.8 million, making it the highest-grossing Mexican film in the region. The film later received a limited release in the United States on 2 August 2013 by Viva Pictures, with the voices of Rob Schneider and Danny Trejo as Lou Strickland and Griswald respectively. Though it received negative reviews, the film was a major commercial success, earning $43.5 million pesos on its opening weekend at the domestic box office and held the record as one of the biggest box-office openings in Mexican cinema history. The film grossed a total of $112.25 million pesos domestically and $14.7 million worldwide. An animated prequel to the film and the series, titled Top Cat Begins, was released on October 30, 2015 without achieving the box office success of the first film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
