Re-dubbed from the original Mexican, this feature-length frolic for Hanna-Barbera’s felonious feline had only a few pesos to rub together judging by its primitive toonery and makeshift 3D.
Yet what really raises the hackles are its tatty attempts to update the character to a modern New York filled with mobile phones, surveillance cameras and robot cops.
The latter are the brainchild of a vile new police chief whose plans to revolutionise the force impact on kindly Officer Dibble. But why revive an old fave if (a) the tweaks soil the original and (b) you lack the means to do it justice?
