The gang, despite the many times they managed to trick Dibble, respect and care for him as well. During the episode "Dibble's Birthday" where T.C. wanted to sell all Dibble's presents meant for his birthday, the rest of the gang refused to cooperate.

Minor TV characters featuring in the movie


Griswald

Griswald is a bulldog who is sporadically seen in the show, often antagonizing Top Cat and his gang. He was orange but he is mainly white. He is vicious, but also gullible and dim-witted. In his first appearance, Griswald was the pet of the missing Cat-Wallader's scheming butler Chutney. When Griswald finds out that Chutney was going to take his part of the share early after he botched up a piano-based attempt on Benny's life, Griswald attacked Chutney which led to both of them being arrested by Officer Dibble who identified Chutney as Machine Gun Chutney. In his second appearance, Griswald was employed by the police to help Dibble with his beat. He is voiced by Don Messick in the TV series. In the film, he starts out as an enemy of Top Cat, but is convinced by T.C. that he is, in fact, a cat, which Griswald believes due to his gullible nature.

Lazlo-Lazlo

Lazlo-Lazlo (known as Lazlo-Lozla in the Spanish version) is a janitor-turned-musician. When Officer Dibble bought a record by him, the musical director of Carnegie Hall mistakenly thought it was Benny playing and took in Benny for his talent, before realizing that it wasn't Benny, but the janitor. Before being "discovered" in this manner, Lazlo was told to "stick to your broom" by Top Cat, after asking for advice. Despite being famous now, Lazlo still works by day as the venue's janitor, and cleans up after every show. In the film, Top Cat and Benny see him again, when the Maharajah comes to watch him perform.

She also has a long tail like many of the other feline characters, though it doesn't appear in most of her earlier scenes. Her natural hair is short and brown, however she wears a blonde wig for most of the movie.

. Having a rather vain and shallow mindset, Kitty is a rather materialistic character who adores high class society and glamour. However, she constantly mentions she's willing to do anything for love and wants nothing more than a successful husband. Her character is defined by the idea of being gold digger, however based on her commentary and the values of the time she is implied to be something more of an Old Maid. This is supported by her comment about "''waiting for years''" in reference to being set up with TC, as well as talking about finding love to herself. Though she found Brain to be rather eccentric, ignorant, and causing trouble wherever he went, she was willing to look past it and tolerate the issues that arose; claiming it to be all in the name of love. She appears to take large offense to people lying to her or being mislead, based on how infuriated she becomes when Brain reveals that he isn't TC like she thought or when TC reveals that he is penniless contrary to what she had been told. She also didn't appear in any media since 1988, but the franchise's fans also remember her.

Fortunately, fans of the franchise did her return in various of their media and fanarts, and in any moment she would be back in official Top Cat media (such as films, specials, games and toys), but somehow she's not appearing in official media, maybe due to the mixed reviews of the critics about the movie ''

Trixie

Trixie is a grey-blue female feline who works for Lou Strickland and his police robots and is Top Cat's crush. After she found out that T.C. is innocent, she decides to help Dibble and free Top Cat. She is voiced by Melissa Disney.


Lou Strickland

Lou Strickland is a greedy man and is the main antagonist in the film. Despite his ugly look, he claims to be the most handsome person of all time. In a parody of '' RoboCop'', the movie has him creating android robots to replace policy officers, because he thinks humans make mistakes that technology can prevent. He manages to trick Dibble's boss to believe that he is his son in law (even though the police chief hasn't got any children) and manages to get his job through favouritism and also by framing Top Cat. After gaining control of the police department, he decides not to fire Dibble because they share the same birthday, and he needs someone to help activate the robots. Strickland then takes full control over New York City and starts having people arrested for ludicrous crimes (though the reason why he is like this is never explained. All we get is that he likes technology better than everything else). He shows up as a VIP at the Lazlo-Lazlo concert, but gets his tickets stolen by Top Cat. Strickland is eventually defeated by Top Cat and arrested by Officer Dibble. He was voiced by Jason Harris in the British and Mexican releases of the film and by
