Part 2 of 8 for Turner Feature Animation’s (only) animated film, “Cats Don’t Dance.”

Sawyer’s first line is, “a SACRIFICIAL lamb?!” in case you didn’t catch it.

The film was released in 1997 to positive critical reception, but appallingly low ticket sales, due to Warner Brothers’ incompetent promotional efforts for it after purchasing Turner Animation. It received more attention on home video, but has become increasingly hard to find as of late. Stars Scott Bakula, Jasmine Guy, Ashley Peldon, Kathy Najimy and more. Randy Newman wrote the songs/lyrics with the exceptions of “Our Time Has Come” and “I Do Believe”, which play over the opening and closing credits, respectively. It was directed by Mark Dindal (”The Emperor’s New Groove”, “Chicken Little”), who also provides the voice of Max (slowed down).

Enjoy.
