==Plot==
During lunch with Dustin (Charles Fleischer) and Preston (Preston Igafo-Te'o, Jr.), Roderick Blair (David Kaufman) spots Jamie Tendlar (Tabitha St. Germain) returning from her family's vacation to Disneyland Resort. Excusing himself, Roderick quickly runs after his love interest, interrupted by Billy Wildcat (Robin Williams) in order for Billy to talk to Roderick about Jamie's return, but soon gets him out of the way and meets up with Jamie, who introduces her Boyfriend, Roderick, A Newly-Restored MINT-CONDITIONED Copy of The Disneyland Art Corner's CLASSIC How-To-Animate Book (Walt Disney's Tips on Animation) that she bought from D23 Expo. While Jamie still finds him as if he's amusing, she quickly realizes she misses Roderick!   At Roderick's House, Preston catches news of the James Bluth (voiced by Bud Luckey and referenced after Don Bluth), known for his generosity and his animation careers as an independent film maker are just what Preston thinks of Bluth as a Disney Alumni. Preston and Company head to the El Capitan Theatre, running into an obnoxious rat named Edward Rodentsky. (Billy West) The gang steal his tickets and get him sent away. While the gang serve fountain sodas to theater patrons, who is James' fans, Preston explains to James Bluth about why he used to work for Disney Studios then after the truth has been revealed that James Bluth left Disney in September 1978, he offers Preston a Portable Voice Talk 9000 device, in which Preston accepts, with many functions, as James Bluth had already gave away all the Dozen Pack of 2B Tombow Drawing Pencils to Animation Colleagues at CalArts.   The next morning, Billy Wildcat is summoned to the California Insitutes of The Arts to have a talk with Edward Rodentsky, who is charging after CalArts' CGI Division. Edward Rodentsky has replaced the CG Animation staff with Paperless Animation artists which he believes are more better than CG Animation. Preston thwarts Edward's attempt to evict him, preventing Edward from getting the Mayor's funding for More Paperless Animation Colleagues to Replace 3D Computer Animators. Edward uses Billy Wildcat to keep Preston away from CalArts while Edward carries his out his "EVIL" plan. Preston returns to CalArts getting shunned by Dutsin with Roderick and Jamie, arrested by the Los Angeles police and after an unfair trial, convicted to the Los Angeles County Jail on charge of stealing money from PIXAR Studios.  With the arrest of Preston, Edward is granted the Mayor's funding and establishes more 2D Paperless Animation colleagues, replacing the last CGI colleagues by re-locating them to a different Animation School, and a major scale surveillance camera system which restricts privacy for the city. Meanwhile Preston tries to keep a low profile in jail but later becomes popular having turned the jail into a paradise for the convicts. As for Preston's gang they are struggling and begin to express their disbelief in him, which Preston notices from the one of the security cameras.   Edward abuses his authority and starts coming up with ridiculous-yet-ferocious laws to take $2,000 of the huge amounts money off Reel FX Studios' Santa Monica Unit, intending to spend it on making himself even more 'devious'. Tired of Edward's tyranny, Billy Wildcat quits his job and turns to Roderick and Jamie and shows them the videotaped evidence that a robot Preston sent by Edward robbed the PIXAR studio proving Preston's innocence. Roderick and Jamie with their families begin to pass this to Preston's Cousin Dustin, but Billy Wildcat is captured by the security gaurds!   After Roderick tells the two what really happened, they all head for James Bluth to help them break Preston out of jail, as he owes Preston. James Bluth leads them through an underground passage to the Los Angeles county jail and leaves. The gang apologizes for their doubts about Preston. With their cover blown by the Los Angeles county jail knowing they've got toons with them, the gang escape through a sewer hole arriving at Edward's Hideout.   The gang infiltrate the building in robot guises finding Edward has imprisoned the animators of Hollywood and hoarded $1,000 out of Disney Studios. While Billy Wildcat disctracts Edward, the gang under the guise of robots make their way to Edward's control centre, but Preston's gang are locked in Edward's vault having tripped a silent alarm, Preston remaining outside. When Edward arrives, he orders Preston to be arrested by the robots. As a single police officer enters, Preston realizes the whole security system was manufactured by the Los Angles police. Preston takes out the Portable Voice Talk 9000 which presumably controls the robots to charge after Edward. In panic, Edward self-destructs the robot army except Roderick and Jamie escape from their robot guises in the process and another one, revealed to be Roderick Blair with His Family and Jamie Tendlar with Her Family and even Dustin the Yellow Rat, still in their robot guises. Everyone imprisoned and Preston's gang is released in the self-destruction process. Edward Rodentsky now rendered helpless and CalArts' security gaurds, adided by the Los Angeles police, arrests him and (on Preston's suggestion) senteced to the Los Angeles county jail.   Roderick Blair and Jamie Tendlar got back to their CLASSIC relationship, James Bluth is promoted as the new Professor of the CalArts Traditional Animation Division, the gang enjoy themselves, and finally Billy Wildcat asks to return to Preston's gang, which Preston accepts.
==Production==
This 3D Large Format Traditionally Animated Cartoon Feature was Inspired by the plot to Top Cat: THE MOVIE after Preston Igafo-Te'o II saw a 3D Screening of "Top Cat - THE MOVIE" at a Mexican "Cinemark" multiplex cinema While Visiting Mexico to meet a DeviantART Pen Pal (Jose Ramiro) to commission the pen pal to draw a caricature of Preston Igafo-Te'o, Jr. with Preston the Blue Mouse. During its original Canadian theatrical release it was outgrossed by the Canadian release of Disney & PIXAR's "Monsters University" which was released in American Theaters on June 2013. Unfortunately, when it premiered in American Theaters on Spring 2014, film critics of America claims that "Preston's Big Movie" was a rip-off of "Top Cat the Movie" and it was a critical and box office disappointment. However, despite the film's failure, it won a 6-Way Tie for the 2014 South BancyVille Kids' Award for Best Animated Feature Film with 5 other winners including Disney's "Big Hero 6", DreamWorks Animation SKG's "Penguins of Madagascar", Chuck Jones' 1979 Classic, "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, Warner Bros. Animation's "Tom and Jerry: The Fast and Furry" and even LAIKA Films' "The Boxtrolls".
