Status: Canceled


Cats Don't Dance is a 1997 animated film produced by Turner Feature Animation. The film was a box office flop despite its critical success, and it was the only film to be produced by Turner Feature Animation before the Warner Bros.-Turner merger in 1996.[1]

The film was initially announced as a production of "Lost Boys," owned by Michael Jackson and David Kirshner.[2][3] Jackson was allegedly to produce and star in the film alongside animated Looney Tunes characters (a concept eventually produced in 1993 with Michael Jordan, Space Jam).[4] However, he eventually dropped out and the film was released as an animated feature instead.[5]

Little is known of what remains of Jackson's version of the film. Turner supposedly worked with a copy of the script, meaning an original screenplay may exist, but no other footage is known to exist.
