  10. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (Warner Bros., July 30)

The battle between cats and dogs is put on hold as they join forces to stop the ruthless feline rogue spy, Kitty Galore (Bette Midler), who hatches a diabolical plan to rule the world. Chris O' Donnell, Jack McBrayer, Alec Baldwin, Michael Clarke Duncan and -- surprise -- Roger Moore. Tippett Studio and Sony Pictures Imageworks did the majority of the work, with Joe Bauer handling overall vfx supervision. Tippett (under Blair Clark's vfx supervision) created nearly all of the cat shots and a few other animals as well, including Kitty Galore, the villainess sphinx; Scrumptious, her met mouse; and Seamus, the pigeon.
