"Grumpy Cat" Gets Her Own Movie With Aubrey Plaza

Popular Internet meme Grumpy Cat will make her film debut in a Lifetime Channel made-for-TV movie, and will feature the voice of Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza. The film, Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever will air on Lifetime the day after Thanksgiving, on Nov. 29.

Lifetime’s press release has given a synopsis of the plot of Grumpy Cat’s debut.

In "Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever," Grumpy Cat is a lonely cat living in a mall pet shop. Because she always gets passed over and never gets chosen by customers, this kitty develops a sour outlook on life until…one day during the holidays, a very special 12-year-old girl named Chyrstal enters the pet store and falls in love with Grumpy Cat. A unique friendship is formed between the two when Chyrstal finds she is the only person who can hear this unique feline talk. In the middle of the holiday rush, Grumpy reluctantly thwarts the kidnapping of an expensive exotic dog she can’t stand and rescues Chyrstal after the mall closes on Christmas Eve. Will Grumpy Cat learn the true meaning of Christmas, or will it be in Grumpy’s words, “Worst. Christmas. Ever?”

Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, has become an Internet sensation since her owner Tabatha Bundesen put pictures of her cat on Reddit in 2012. Since then, Grumpy Cat has made her owner very wealthy with endorsement deals and her own brand of coffee. And of course, millions upon millions of memes.
