I don’t get why people hate this, it’s way better than Sonic Movie coming out.
My general impression of Cats overall is that it's meant to be uncanny. It's a story woven together from a bunch of weird poetry, and performed by people dressed as cats singing in English xD.
Ha ha, wooooow.Okay, here's my opinion.The thing about musical theater is it heavily involves suspension of disbelief. The people on stage aren't real cats. The backdrop isn't a real city street. Everything takes place within a limited space (the stage). And the audience goes into the theater understanding and accepting all those things.But here we have a movie that has real city streets, unlimited space . . . and the cats are still athletic cat-human hybrids. It's weird, super weird. It doesn't work.
Confession: I've never liked Cats, but I heard they were making it and was willing to give it a second chance. But I saw the trailer. It is very creepy to me. Worse than Sonic. Some people brought up that this would have worked better as an entirely animated film and I agree. Singing cats that look like Aristocrats or something sounds so much better. Or even bring in a competent furry artist and they could've come up with something cat people that isn't a nightmare.
Who’s you favourite character from the musical?Are you happy with who has been cast?
I don't think making it with real looking cats (animated or CGI) would have worked at all. The choreography is such a big part of the show. Let's be real: Cats has a paper-thin 'plot'. It's just a string of cat poems by T.S. Elliott set to music. Like a variety show of cat-dressed performers. This isn't Les Miserables, this is "Okay gang, we're singing about the train-cat now! Woo-woo!"It really doesn't work outside of musical theater.
I love this I unironically love CATS. It's a bunch of sexy dancers in tight costumes acting out a bunch of poems about felis domesticus. Nothing more and nothing less.Thos movie looks just like the musical but with some CG effects instead of string tails and cloth fur. They are not supposed to look like real cats they are supposed to look like the musical performers. I dig it.
