Mouse secret agent Nick Grabovsky (László Sinkó) takes on the criminal cat syndicate led by the sinister, metal-pawed Mr. Teufel (Miklós Benedek). The film blends spy-fi action, political satire, and musical spectacle, including a surreal sequence featuring a chorus of Mexican vampire bats living inside an ancient Mayan temple.

Planet X is now peacefully run by rodents, and Grabovsky has retired to operate an organic spinach farm. That peace is shattered when an African explorer discovers the last surviving tribe of cats in the jungle, who summon the ancient feline demon Moloch in an effort to reclaim dominance. The sequel reintroduces familiar characters, including the return of Mr. Teufel, and expands the mythology with increasingly surreal and large-scale imagery, culminating in a Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla-style battle between Moloch and a giant Robot Dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collector’s edition includes an extensive lineup of bonus materials. Three rare Béla Ternovszky animated shorts provide additional context to his artistic output. A commentary track by film historian Samm Deighan delivers detailed critical analysis, while an additional commentary by filmmaker and animator Dorian Saisse explores the technical and creative aspects of the animation.
