Cats & Dogs

Cats & Dogs is a 2001 film for which Jim Henson's Creature Shop supplied multiple realistic canine and feline animatronic puppets for 12 characters, which were then blended with CG lip elements, and one largely CG character (the Russian cat), and live animals. The lead cat, the villainous Mr. Tinkles, made a live appearance at MuppetFest.
The 2010 sequel Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore did not have involvement of the Creature Shop, instead Lee Romaire Studios provided the creatures. David Barclay was once again the animatronic effects supervisor.
