This summer a very exciting film will be screened – the first ever Top Cat film! If you fancy winning a family ticket to a special screening in London then please read on.
Growing up Top Cat was one of my favourite cartoons, although I didn’t realise it was vintage back in the late 70s! It featured Top Cat who was the leader of a gang of Manhattan alley cats living in Hoagie’s Alley, and Charles “Charlie” Dibble, the NYPD who was constantly trying to evict them from the alley. The film follows the adventures of Top Cat and the gang who face a new police chief, who is not at all happy with poor officer Dribble’s performance trying to prevent Top Cat’s scams.

Although the film isn’t released until the 1st June 2012 a special screening will take place at the Vue West End in Leicester Square on Sunday 13th May with fun in the foyer from 10am. The film will start at 11am.
