Cats don't dance 2-a new movie project

In this sequel to Cats don't dance [where it all began], Danny and his pals befriend an owl named Jolliton who warns that Max Gorilla is back with some big ape pals. Luckily, with the help of new animal pals like a talking parrot, some friendly dinosaurs, a scatterbrained turkey, and a inventing iguana, the gang might stand a chance to change Max's mind, befriend some dinosaurs, rescue Miss Dimple from some nasty smugglers, and save Hollywood once again.

## Plot

The story opens with the animals and dinosaurs sitting down at a private screening to watch a movie, for not only a big screen testing, but as a pastiche of how they all met.

Donny the Cat lives a simple life in an old house in Kokomo. One day, he plays his ukulele and sings "We're in to win", and is approached by Bernie Mac, a talent agent who encourages Donny to pursue a career in show business. Inspired by the idea of "making millions of people happy", Donny sets off on a cross-country trip to Hollywood to find his father, Danny.

Donny meets Joliton Owl, who is working as a hapless stand-up comedian, and Donny invites Joliton on his journey. The two set out in Joliton owl's cool Studebaker, but are soon pursued by some smugglers.

in an attempt by the Smugglers to convince Donny to be the new spokes cat of Doc snarl's French-fried chicken restaurant franchise. Horrified, Donny kindly refuses and he and Fozzie drive away. Unwilling to accept Donny's refusal, the smugglers resort to increasingly forceful means of persuasion. In an old church, Donny and Joliton meet the rock band Dr. Croc and the Reptilian Mayhem band, and the band's manager Iggy Iguana, who helps them disguise their car. Driving on, they meet and are joined by Polly parrot and his friends Ralph Rhino and Ollie the Oxpecker, who are also interested in becoming movie stars. They trade in their failing vehicle at a used car lot, where they meet George Gorilla. They invite George to come with them, but he runs away. The others drive away, only for the gorilla to emerge and reveal that he had only gone to pack his things.

The group meets Miss Kitty at a county fair, and she immediately becomes love-stricken with Donny. When the cats meet for dinner that night, The Smugglers sneak up on Miss Kitty and abduct her as bait to lure Donny. When Donny arrives at the designated location, mad scientist Professor Krassel-man tries to brainwash Donny into performing in Haran's advertisements, but Miss Kitty and Donny's animal friends furiously knock out Snarl-K's henchmen and causes Krassel-man to be brainwashed by his own device. However, immediately after the fight and saving Donny, Miss K receives a job offer and promptly abandons a devastated Donny.

Joined by the dinosaurs, Canadian Carl the goose and Felicia the Fox and reunited with Miss Kitty along the way, the gang continues their journey to Hollywood, but their car breaks down in the desert. Sitting at a campfire, the group sadly realizes that they will likely miss the audition the next day. Donny wanders off, ashamed for bringing his friends on a fruitless journey, but some personal reflection restores his commitment. He returns to camp, where he discovers the Reptile Mayhem have come to their rescue, having learned of their plight by reading ahead in the film's script. The Mayhem offer to drive the entire group the rest of the way in their bus.

The group is warned by a reformed Max that The Smugglers led by Doc Haran has hired an assassin, Snake Hisser, to catch Donny. Donny decides to face his aggressor and proposes a Western-style showdown in a nearby ghost town. There, they find inventor Dr. Turk Turkey and his assistant Victor Vulture. Donny confronts Doc S-K with an appeal to his own hopes and dreams, but Doc Snarl is unmoved and orders his henchmen to kill Donny and his friends. They are saved when one of Dr. Turk's inventions, "instant-grow" pills, temporarily enlarges Mayhem drummer Gator Gregory, who frightens away the Smugglers for now, saving the animals lives.

Once Donny and his animal gang, along with Miss Dimples and Max reach the Hollywood studio, they finally get access from a Komodo Dragon bouncer who lets them in after Donny does a dramatic act, and then, they meet Danny and his wife cat (Sawyer) for the first time, as well as meeting studio executive Lew Lord the 3rd, who signs the animals and their pals to a "standard 'rich and famous' contract". After battling the smugglers, Max Gorilla [a former foe] tells the gang he loves them now. Now, the first take in their attempt to perform the script goes awry when Pudge, Wooly, Tilly and Polly parrot crash into the prop rainbow, and an explosion blows a hole in the roof of the studio. A rainbow shines through the hole and onto the gang.
