Storyline

In the age-old battle between cats and dogs, one crazed feline has taken things a paw too far. Kitty Galore, formerly an agent for cat spy organization M.E.O.W.S., has gone rogue and hatched a diabolical plan to not only bring her canine enemies to heel, but also take down her former kitty comrades and make the world her scratching post. Faced with this unprecedented threat, cats and dogs will be forced to join forces for the first time in history in an unlikely alliance to save themselves, and their humans.

Trivia

The name "Tab Lazenby" is a nod to actor George Lazenby, who played James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) (and is voiced by Sir Roger Moore, who played Bond in seven movies, starting with Live and Let Die (1973)).

Catherine: It sure does.
Butch: It's huge

Crazy Credits

There is a post credits scene.

Alternate Versions

On Hub (now Discovery Family) airings, the credits get interrupted by the post credits scene, then cuts to the end of the first half of the credits. This is likely due to the use of split-screen credits on said channel.

User Reviews

Woof

I'm 42 and this is the second kid oriented film I've seen in less then two weeks, the first was Beezus And Ramona. I guess maybe in a way I'm a kid at heart. I never saw the first Dogs And Cats so I can't compare. I can say that this is a fun, breezy way to spend 82 minutes. I like how this spoofs James Bond movies right down to the opening credits and the name Kitty Galore. Also, Roger Moore does one of the voices and his character is named Tab Lazenby (for you Bond trivia lovers, George Lazenby played 007 in 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service). Don't call me weird but I think that there is a good message for children in this film, let me explain. The dogs and cats join forces to stop this rogue cat Kitty Galore. This teaches kids that you should put aside petty things to band together as a team. Oh, they also do a good job of spoofing Silence Of The Lambs. My only real complaint isn't with the animals its with one of the humans in the film, that goofy magician Kitty was working for. He was so annoying.
