Armelle getting her cartoon portrait done.
Benny the Ball
Benny is TC's right-hand man.
He is short, innocent, chubby, naive and cute. A blue-coloured cat with
a white sweater that fastens with a single button at his neck. His eyes
are shown as black dots unlike the other cats who have white sclerae
with black pupils. Benny may appear to be simple-minded, but he manages
to ask the most logical questions during the gang's erratic endeavors.
The gang relationship between Benny and TC is based on a devoted
friendship between them. In the movie, he appears to be a big fan of
Lazlo-Lazlo, a famous musician performer (see below for more
information) and he sometimes gets Top Cat and his gang in trouble. . He was voiced by Chris Edgerly in the movie.
Choo-Choo
Choo-Choo, nicknamed Chooch to TC and the gang, is enthusiastic and
devoted to TC even when he’s clueless as to what he’s doing. He is a
pink cat with a white long-sleeve turtle-neck shirt, he is the tallest
of the alley gang cats and often is depicted with the eyes of a Siamese cat.
He lives at the fire house as the fire house cat as seen in one episode
"Hawaii Here We Come". He had a couple of love crushes "Choo-Choo's
Romance" and "Choo-Choo Goes Gaga-Gaga", however unlike Fancy-Fancy or
Top Cat, Choo-Choo has no courage talking to girls. When he talks, his
voice sounds like Woody Allen. In the movie, his voice is a bit narrow and higher and he plays bingo at a retirement. He is voiced by Marvin Kaplan and Jason Harris in the movie.
Brain
Brain appears to be a common henchman to Top Cat. Contrary to his
name (which appears to have been given in jest or sarcasm), Brain is the
dim-witted member of the alley gang, an orange cat with a violet
T-Shirt with a black line. Brain is notorious for being unable to keep a
secret and for his stuttterrring.
He also seems to be in charge of the group's money (which they rarely
have) and he runs up and down the road. Despite his apparent stupidity,
he can sometimes say something brilliant, which TC instantly rephrases
to make it sound like he said it.
Fancy-Fancy
Fancy-Fancy also appears to be a common henchman to Top Cat. He is
laid-back, sweet-talking and is regularly seen chatting up the ladies
before leaving them when hearing the 'dustbin lid call'. A brown cat
with a white scarf, he resembles Spook in appearance. His look and voice
is based on Cary Grant. In the movie, he is very good as disguising like female robots and He is voiced by John Stephenson.
Spook
Spook is one of the most streetwise members of the gang. When he
talks, a torrent of "like"'s are used. He is similar to Fancy-Fancy in demeanour and appearance, a sweet talking cat whose vernacular is based
on that of a beatnik.
When the gang need some help with a situation, he usually steps up to
the plate. In the movie, he sounds more young-like, his "like" torrents
are a little curious type, and he plays pool with his friends. He has
his longest speaking role to date in the movie, when he tells the gang
about his friend who may be able to help them break Top Cat out of jail.
He is a pool shark with olive green fur and a torn black tie. He too is voiced by Leo De Lyon.
Officer Dibble
Officer Charlie Dibble is an NYPD Policeman whose beat
includes the alley. His full name is discovered in the episode "T.C.
Minds the Baby" where TC and the gang found an abandoned baby and named
him 'Charlie' after Officer Dibble. Though he usually resents the gang's
presence in the alley, there are times when he respects and loves them.
He wants TC to clean up the alley and to stay off his telephone. In reference
to this character, 'Dibble' has been adopted as an English derogatory slang term for Police Officers. He is voiced by Allen Jenkins.
Griswald
Griswald is a bulldog who is sporadically seen in the show, he often
antagonises Top Cat and his gang; but in the second movie he is seen as
one of Top Cat's friends and sometimes enemy. He is vicious, but also
gullible and slightly dim witted. He was once employed by the police to
help Dibble with his beat. . In the second film,
he is convinced by Top Cat that he is, in fact, a cat, which Griswald
believes due to his gullible nature. At the end of the film, he is
invited to stay with Top Cat and become one of the gang.
