Editing Top Cat (section)

===Latin America===
The show was dubbed to Spanish in Mexico in 1963, using some of the same voice actors who worked in ''[[The Flintstones]]''. It was renamed ''[[:es:Don Gato|Don Gato y su pandilla]]'' (literally ''Mr. Cat and his gang'') and the main characters adopted different accents. The voice acting improved the show, adding new jokes and local references.<ref name="adongato">

In spite of the modest success of the show in the United States, the show was a massive hit in Mexico, Chile, Peru, Venezuela and Argentina, where it is recognized as one of the most famous Hanna Barbera characters ever.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Besides Top Cat, all the other characters from the show were famous, and their popularity is commonly attributed by the excellent dubbing and voice acting:<ref name="adongato" /> 
* Benny was renamed ''Benito B. Bodoque y B.'' and given a more childlike voice than was the case in the original dubbing.
* Choo Choo was renamed ''Cucho'' and spoke with a [[Yucatan|Yucatecan]] accent.
* Fancy-Fancy was ''Panza'' (belly).
* Spook renamed as the word's rough translation ''Espanto''.
* Brain was called ''Demóstenes'' (honouring the Greek statesman [[Demosthenes]], with whom he shares a speech impediment).
* Officer Charlie Dibble renamed as ''Oficial Carlos "Carlitos" Matute''.

The adaptation and translation was made by Rubén Arvizu. The main voice actors were Julio Lucena (voice of Top Cat), [[Jorge Arvizu]] (voice of Benny and Choo Choo), [[Víctor Alcocer]] (voice of Dibble), and [[David Reynoso]], among others.<ref name="adongato" /> ''Top Cat'' is still rerun every few years.

In [[Brazil]], the character is known as ''Manda-Chuva'' (Brazilian Portuguese for ''big shot'') and was voiced by actor [[Lima Duarte]]. The dub premiered in 1963 on [[Record São Paulo|TV Record]] in São Paulo and other stations in other cities. The series was later syndicated and was aired in the late 80s on [[TV Globo]] as part of ''[[Xou da Xuxa]]''.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://infantv.com.br/infantv/manda-chuva-top-cat-1961/ | title=InfanTv – A Máquina do Tempo rumo à sua infância | date=July 19, 2016}}</ref> In addition, the city of New York was replaced by Brasília (federal capital) in the Brazilian version most of the time.
