  • Story Text: Since the beginning of time, a war for control of planet Earth has been fought between two worthy adversaries.
    It is a war so secret, so covert that it could be happening in your very own living room.
    Unbeknownst to humans, the struggle for world domination between cats and dogs has been held in check by an uneasy truce. But that period is about to disintegrate.
    The film telling the story of the secret war being waged in thousands of homes between cats and dogs. A power-mad Persian cat, Mr. Tinkles has broken from the 'pack' to lead a massive feline movement against man's best friend.
    The star of the movie is loveable beagle 'Lou' who's task it is to head off power mad Persian Mr Tinkles. Leading the human cast is Elizabeth Perkins... the star of movies such as the Flintsones and Miracle on 34th Street says she did the movie for her kids and admitted there were some frustrating moments during filming.
    "Well, you have to understand their brains are the size of walnuts and you have to sort of cut them a lot of slack," said Perkinds.
    The film's director Lawrence Guterman says the combination of animation and real life action sequences made production incredibly time consuming.
    Among the star studded voice cast are veteran actors such as Susan Sarandon and Alec Baldwin , but is was Joe Pantaliano who brought to life the tiny Chinese Crested, Peek.
    The film will hit US cinemas on Independence Day and with rumours of a sequel already circulating, the battle for world domination looks set to continue.
