alt title(s): Cats Dont Dance

Cats Don't Dance is a 1997 film, and the only one made by Turner Entertainment's animation unit before Warner Bros. took over.

The film takes place in the Golden Age Of Hollywood (late 1930's-early 1940's), and the plot centers around a singing and dancing cat named Danny, who dreams of being a big movie star. He gets a role in the latest movie starring sickeningly adorable child star Darla Dimple, only to find out the hard way that animals in Hollywood only get minor roles. Determined to show Hollywood their talent, Danny rounds up some of his newfound friends, and tries to find a way to impress the studio exec producing the film. When Darla finds out about this, she starts to show her true (read: evil) nature, and decides to sabotage the animals' plans, so they don't steal her spotlight.

This movie contains many shout outs to the classic films of the decade, most notably Singing in the Rain and Sunset Boulevard. Although it was underpromoted and it underperformed at the box office, it has a loyal following to this day (particularly among the Furry Fandom).
