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.

Famous quotes containing the words feature and/or film:
“With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
