In this sequel to the 2001 original, Kitty Galore (voiced by Bette Midler) is the hairless (ugly as sin) feline mastermind who plans to enslave the world via a satellite signal that will drive dogs, and consequently their human masters, crazy.

If only the writers had stuck to copying the James-Bond formula the story borrows from, the CGI-assisted animals might have come more to empathetic life.

Since going sour on working with MEOWS (Mousers Enforcing Our World Safety) super-spy group, Kitty is set up to do some science-fiction-scale damage unless our technology savvy team of specially trained cats and dogs can work together to stop her. The premise is slim as the action is silly, and the comedy corny. For a mediocre brand of children's action/comedy, "Cats & Dogs" accomplishes its not-so-lofty goal with honors.

The best part of the movie is the James-Bond-homage credit sequence over a slick reworked version of Shirley Bassey singing "Get the Party Started."

Rated PG. 82 mins.
