Lyrics:
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?
Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?
Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?
Are you cock of the walk when you're walking alone?

About:
Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is set amongst a larger- than-life junkyard playground and is alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year - the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life. - Розваги

They look like the cat on the Island Of Dr Moreau

Past people who've seen Cats: "wow those costumes are kind of creepy."
Now: "nevermind."
lmao they thought _these_ were unsettling, now they’re comforted
These costumes are really aethetic and cute.
I remember thinking the exact same thing when I was younger but the movie just took it to such an unfathomable level of cursed
I actually liked the old costumes. But the new movie made me like them even more.
when you're a first timer you get creeped out by the 1998 for a little bit but the longer you watch the more it sticks to you and next thing you know it's your sexual awakening
The only thing the 2019 Cat's did Right was bringing attention and views to the 1998 version
Or my cast the 80s stage version.
@@evonne_o Bless the original cast
@@evonne_o The cast are amazing I wish them well
You're not even wrong, that's exactly why I've been binging these videos for the past few hours
@@katicasey4610 Same here, I only found out when I was in the theatre talking with this 55 year old lady when she mentioned the 1998 movie
See THIS works, because their makeup is cat-like. In the trailer... they straight up have human faces
It's anime Nekogirl (movie) vs furries cat (this).
They just need to film a straight soundstage version of this.
i don't see what's wrong with the trailer of the movie, came here to compare it once more, saw this live a few months ago but still.
the movie just seems like a better version of the musical so far...
only thing i would change on the trailer is perhaps give them cat like noses
it also works because people like rebel wilson and james corden are as far away from it as humanly possible
I agree a lot with what you are saying and may be more cat like movements
“Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?” That voice tho
Like warm velvet
Wait, she doesn't have a song further in the musical?? I was impatiently waiting to hear more of her! 1:34
WHY IS IT SO BEAUTIFUL
@@Jizu16 "jellicle cats have moonlit eyes" from the singing potion of the jellicle ball
What’s her name? If she has one
I’m here to advertise the “Why the music in Cats (2019) is worse than you thought” video
Ayee
I've watched that video 4 times already and it doesn't get old
Yes ! Great way to kill an hour
I'm not musically educated and I've watched that video six times. I'm shocked Sideways didn't suffer an aneurysm while recording the voiceover.
@@jbvader721 right? Poor guy sounded like he was gonna have a heart attack
I used to get creeped out a little by the costumes now I think they look comforting because of option b.
"Option B"
I agree
Option Bad
Option bittch stop
At least those costumes were made of spandex and facepaint to make them Cat like.
It's OK people who just watched the movie trailer... You are safe here.
thank you
I need it...
Why didn’t they just use practical makeup like the play? Lmao
No I'm fucking not
Never understood cats and people prancing around in cat suits when I was a young kid at 8 yrs of age (I’m now 31). But after seeing the movie trailer 🙄🙄🤦🏾♀️. I get this clip now. Yup your right. We are safe here 😂
The actor who plays Munkustrap is literally *always* on his tip toes - it’s incredibly impressive, he certainly manages to be one of the most feline out of all the dancers.
I think the actress who plays Cassandra does a rly good job of acting feline too -- she's just so graceful, exactly like a cat
It's called idiopathic toe walking- no I'm just kidding but all the folks on the spectrum are laughing at this comment because NOT walking on your toes is what's hard for us!! T__T
He's probably actually a cat. 🐈
@@misspoppyp lol, that's me. But people should try to stop if possible, it damages your arches and builds up thick skin and eventually corns on the bottom of your foot. I am struggling to stop myself and it is already causing issues.
@@eleanorcooke7136 Definitely! If anyone notices their kids doing this, please try and stop it as early as possible and visit your doctor for help finding ways to stop them and give them arch support. My arches have fallen from years of doing this. My mom says she never noticed me doing it, which I don't doubt since she didn't pay that much attention when I was younger lol
That single Boot has more self-awareness than the whole 2019 movie. It's why this version worked.
*kid dies*
Oompa Loompa’s:
Omg yES
*you've entered the wrong musical*
😂
Except shorter.
I also watched that yesterday-
This is how Cats is meant to be, in the movie they don't even have cat noses for goodness sake. I hope the movie at least got people who hadn't watched the musical yet curious enough to see this version.
Yeah it worked
I just came from watching the movie and now I'm into the musical
True dat
Annika I wouldn’t mind a movie adaption of _Cats,_ I just wish it was as good as the stage musical.
The 2019 film is what got me into the Cats production as a whole, and I watched the 1998 film last night and totally adored it. The acrobatics are insane!
Hello.
It saddens me that people don’t know how to or refuse to suspend their disbelief long enough to enjoy this play. I suppose it isn’t for everyone...
People don’t like abstract or different ideas or changes.
Or they just find somthing to hate on
@@dampcarpet2607 “Eww cat people. That’s furry shit, welp time to hate on art.”
big mood
I just wanna know what's it even about? Once I know what it's about I'd get more into it
@@vixymix101 Basically the jellicle cats are dumpster cats abandoned by humans, and every year there is a jellicle ball where they audition to get sent to Heavenside by Deuteronomy to live a new life. (basically die and be reborn)
The Cats musical is a concept play, its not supposed to have a lot of plot. Its just supposed to be a fun experience, so thats why the Cats movie failed so hard. It tried to adapt a musical that was all about the characters, their costumes, singing, and choreography.
0:23 "I have Princess Carolyn for you. Please hold."
This is the comment I was looking for!! :)
Martinkerbelle Nitram Hey I know you, aren’t you the horse from horsin’ around?

Wow thank you!!!!
Broadway: *Tipsy*
Movie: *Extremely Drunk*
No, the movie died of alcohol poisoning.
You know i never actually thought much of CATS, just knew it from parodies and such. But after seeing the movie trailer, i have a new found appreciation for this play for it's makeup and choreography. So i guess something good did come from the trailer after all!
CATS and RENT are my least favorite musicals. However after that trailer I have to convince my friends that the broadway version is not that bad. That's how bad the trailer is. It's manage to make me defend the broadway version.
@@ibha-xh6nn how is it bad?
It’s fucking creepy, what are you talking about
Thomas Main yeah it’s insane how it brought me here
Thomas Main same. I am a huge theatre fan and only saw the play when I was a kid. After watching that trailer I decided to give this play another shot
3:12 (Boot gets thrown)
Most of the Jellicles in that shot: (Varying levels of offended)
Mungojerrie: You know I had to do it to 'em
I never noticed that cheeky look on his face. Good lookin out haha 😂
I love how my favorite cat is Electra and she literally has one solo line. "-With book and with bell!" I just find Electra adorable. And her costume is AWESOME. I love how her coat looks. And I love her little freckles. And after reading a bit on her wikipedia passage, I loved her even more. She's the oldest out of the kittens and she's the most mature. She's often seen in the background playing with Pouncival or Etectera. And she is often hanging out with Rumpleteazer in the background too. And because of that, and the feature similarities, I think that Rumpleteazer and Electra are relatives. Just absolutely love Electra.
FoxTaterTot124 Tatertot I would say she’s the second oldest kitten.
Victoria being oldest kitten
My favourite cat has no lines its Exotica played by Femi Taylor
@@loganhunt5995 Exotica is my favourite too!
@@SimonsHairBeauty she’s awesome
That’s fantastic.
When I first saw the musical I thought they were saying “genitals”
I thought they said gelatin
Now i can't unhear it
god that hilarious
NOOOOOO! NOW I CANT UNHEAR IT!😂
haha fair.
Anyone else here to cleanse themselves after watching the new 2019 trailer cause... 😰
Oh my gosh it's truly terrible who let them butcher this masterpiece like thaaaat.
I am doing so!!!
Yep. This is the only cats I want or need. (I still can’t believe they messed it up so badly!)
Totally!!! I can’t take that terrible cgi
Me 🤣🤣 the new trailer more looks like bunch of demon cats 😂😂😂
Summary:
"Are you a cat? Then you're a jellicle cat"
Pretty much. (That's my headcanon, anyway: why are all the explanations of 'Jellicle cats' so vague? Because it's more of a club, or a creed. Any cat can be a Jellicle cat as long as they promise to continue calling themselves 'Jellicle')
as ALW says "all cats are jellicle cats"
@@BooksSongsStuff10 And all Dogs are pollicle Dogs!
@@horsetuna exactly!
I am
I don’t get why the 2019 movie chose to have Victoria the main character she’s just a background character
Maybe they wanted someone naive to act as the audience and Victoria fit the bill.
gordonchell but then like in the last five minutes they switch back to the audience for the last song
It might be because she’s a character that sticks out compared to the rest of the background cats
@@madelizabethmacoy1228 oh maybe
I think it's because she was the one who touched grizzabella. The creator of the movie really didn't pay attention to the musical because anyone could have touched her and the musical would still work.
The lines before the shoe dropped they were singing fine, but afterwards they began to break into outright caterwauling as if to say: "Okay. You think that was _bad?_ Let's show you what bad _really_ sounds like."
It kind of reminds me of how in old cartoons and whenever some cats begin to sing or meow loudly, they'll get pelted by a boot.
"SHUT THE HELL UP! IT'S 3 IN THE GOD-DAMNED MORNING!!"
And their expressions of slight disgust, as if to say, "How rude!"
@@christinalittleton3771 Similar idea, apparently. 🐈🐈🐈
I love the idea that the cats are actually *singing* (not just caterwauling) and the neighbors are *still* like "Will the whole lotta you just shut the freak up??!!??"
But maybe that *is* what the neighborhood cats actually think they are doing.
Singing. 🐈🐈🐈
I can just see it now.
Neighbors. "Shut UP already!!! It's three in the goddamn morning!!!"
Several people's cats. "You just told twenty or thirty of the best talents on Broadway and the West End to shut up. Did you even *know* that or what?"
And then again.
"He's 50 Cent."
"I'll pay him a dollar to shut up."
(from the movie Are We There Yet?)
(No accounting for taste, obviously. 😉)
The Bremen Town Musicians.
(The Brothers Grimm story)
Cat, dog, rooster and donkey.
Amazing vocal talent. 😉
Or so they themselves thought, anyway. 🐈🐕🐓🐴
Scared away the burglars just fine. 😁
“Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx” THOSE VOCALS!!
If the movie doesn't have a scene where someone throws a boot to shut them up, they all look super offended and continue to sing, them what's even the point of it.
I’m laughing so hard rn
marilucs THEY NEED IT OR ELSE
That part was awesome. 😂👏
It doesn’t. So disappointing.
They needed several boots thrown at them. Especially Rebel Wilson. 😖
it's not always about sleekness, even in this century. this looks so much more natural, especially with the big fur, colors, even the big hair. it looks so much more real even more so without clothing.
No clothing needed.
No *human* clothing anyway.
We are cats.
So, we just wear our own fur. 🐈

Why do I feel weird when the rum tum tugger doesn't have his coat on?......
That “are you blind when you’re born”
Gives me chills everytime
Pards Pabustan It’s that look he gives you
@@cutetiger678 stares you down and you just feel really guilty you’re not a jellicle cat
Michael Gruber is the best Munkustrap imo. I've watched other versions and none of them are near his level. My favourite cat hands down!!
"Can you see in the dark?"
why is the black pharaoh cat sexy
👌👌 Im playing her in a production right now and she really only has 2 solos, one of them is a spoken line. Wish she was featured more in this I love her actor
@@mason9924 ❤️ We stan a queen
Mason Brummond She has a beautiful voice!
Ha, was reading this comment and that line came on. She has an amazing singing voice
Mason Brummond i know what ive been thinking ever since i saw the this
The movie kinda ruined Mr Mistoffelees. I mean he looks great here
I've heard he's adorable but very self conscious and like, why tho? He's got confidence radiating out the wazoo!
I like the fact that he sings his own song though
@@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490 I think its a bit like he is bragging :/
I think he is dead..rip
Tbh me mistoffolees is more better in the movie in my opinion
Therapist: Maneless Rum Tum Tugger isn't real, he can't hurt you.
Maneless RTT: 👁 👁
2:13 and now I can't unsee him, I'm always watching for it
He's also not wearing his gloves or colar. It's really neat how such small things can make a huge difference.
and skimble doesn’t have his coat, i wonder why? does it have something to do with the costumes being uncomfortable?
@@tankunicorn134
It's the beginning number where the cats have not been introduced yet, and also, technically are not playing the same characters as of yet.
By removing the most recognizable parts of the costumes, they're able to blend in more, so they can act as random cats in the tribe and then make a grand entrance later as their named character. Old Deuteronomy's actor is in there too but the shaggy coat is missing so he can be anonymous cat #3.
This also makes the Jellical tribe look much bigger and fill the stage.
@@ChasehaWing thats such a cool detail !!!
The movie looks really creepy so I thought I’d see what it’s based off of.
And now I’m In love
Story of my life
Yaaasss more cats fans
Me 2
This looks like it took lots of time and cooperation. Great job to them. Bravo! Bravo! The new movie is disgusting
And this is based off the book by T.S. Elliot
To be honest, the visuals here are much better than the trailer but I think i'll give the movie a chance
That's why not everything needs to be cgi these days
Finally someone I can agree with!
CGI works best when it just perfects/enhances practical effects or makeup, in my opinion
No its nightmare fuel
Same
The casting could not be better, everyone is so perfect.
These harmonies clears my skin
1:35 Notice how after she sings of the Pharaohs and sphinx, there is an Egyptian-style flute riff added. Attention to details like this brings such magic out! And her voice here is INCREDIBLE
So this was the song that Princess Carolyn had on her phone.
Yes, I came here after that
RIGHT?!?!
I was always curious about that ring tone
I'm laughing so hard because makes totally sense 😂😂😂😂
$$$
I like the bit where they say “Jellicle cats”
You mean... the whole song?
Allegorical cats...
These look more like cats than the monstrosities from the movie.
Cats: *singing*
Boot: Shut up!
Cats:
Cats: *singing*
the needs WAY more likes
"can you look at a king"
"would you sit on his throne."
sure that's one way of saying my cat likes taking my spot after I've left for 2 mins
Yep, mine too!
Same but my cat just goes limp and you can’t move him
The warmth in your butt is probably what left a nicely small depression on whatever you were sitting on giving the 2nd best option for a cat to bunker in...besides tight spaces like cardboard boxes. The warmth is like a cozy fireplace for their much smaller bodies with fur.
Armageddon Sinew Actually, he’s just making a joke, but yeah.
I think it was supposed to be “dare you look at a king”
This production, hands down, is perfect. Some things just shouldn’t be adapted into other formats. This musical in particular is best as live performance art. But then again, it is a musical about cats. Big risk, but hey, this one is great. Even a filmed production is fine. But they tried Waaaaaay too hard for the actual movie.
Exactly. This works. The movie does not!!
You don't know who the big cat at the back is do you? I don't see him again
I remember watching this version as a kid. Didn’t understand much English then, especially in song form, but still managed to capture the personality of every character and distinguish them all easily. Saw the movie version yesterday, being a fluent English speaker now - and couldn’t tell anyone apart except for like 5 main characters. The designs for stage production just work soooo much better.
"Were you there when the Pharoah commissioned the Sphinx?" That line gave me chills.
Francois Bessing I know right!
Heck, Cassandra looks like she posed for the Sphinx!
"Were you there when the Pharoahs commissioned the sphinx."
Goddamn Cassandra is so elegant. My favorite Jellicle cat by far.
My favorites are mungojerrie and rumpleteazer but I like a lot tantomille and coricopat
I like Quaxo. He's so fun!
Me too!
she’s my fav too but it’s just so sad to me bc i cant find anything on her
i don’t even know if she’s even alive :((
In this version she's played by Rebecca Parker, she's 65 apparently and very much alive
1:24
Is nobody going to talk about how smooth his singing was while he was rolling.
Just me?
I found it impressive too
Yes! And his deep voice. I also am very proud that I know exactly what point you’re talking about because I memorized the song last night.
At 3:20 it looks as if Rum Tum Tugger is already annoying Munkustrap, just love watching how the different cats act
Theater: Okay I get they’re people in cat costumes: it’s a theater production
Trailer: WTF IS THAT MY EYEEESSSSS
They should have done these props and make up. I mean look at them. These visuals are waaaay better than was in the new trailer of Cats.
They should have. Especially because these props/makeup are so 80s it would have been awesome to see what they could have done with costumes to in 2019.
Or try mixing the two to make it the best it can be?
the cgi in the movie was so gross and lifeless
vanillahybrid absolutely!! I’m also awed at just how attractive this cast is: everyone’s so... beautiful. I don’t know how to describe it
0:24 When Princess Carolyn puts you on hold.
Who’s listening to this instead of seeing the so badly reviewed movie that even the actors said not to go see
I'm only watching this because I can't be physically at the theater to see the most underrated and misunderstood film of the year.
They could've made the characters from the movie this kind of look instead. It looks way better and beautiful.
thats stupid lmao its supposed to be hyper realism
Andy
Because humanoid cats are realistic.
@@themagicalandmarvelousgeek6132 if a monster in a movie looks like it could exist than its realistic
@@brahms3390 And yet the made ZERO effort to make their noses cat-like in the 2019 version. Uncanny. Valley.
@@brahms3390 the whole movie was stupid
WHYYYYY DIDNT THEY JUST DO THIS MAKEUP FOR THE MOVIE 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Because it would be plagiarism. I watched the trailer and this. I like the trailer, it does not bother me, and I think they actors resembling werecats from the horror movie gives a lot of positive energy to the new project. Here the look simple as people dressed up as cats. Trailer offers creepy realism. Which is so sweet in this case.
It would be boring if they did
Because this is a stage musical and the new one is a movie so it wouldn’t make sense to put them in costumes
NxkedLunch And what about Guillermo del Toro?
Javier Francisco Camacho Brenes what about him? Yes I know he uses costumes for his productions however I was talking in terms of costumes for a play, these kind of costumes wouldn’t make sense for the production they are creating
The girl dressed as Demeter in the photo at the end of the video is Zizi Strallen, niece to Bonnie Langford, the original London Rumpleteazer, daughter of Sandy Strallen, who played Admetus/Macavity in London from 1987 - 1989, and Cherida Langford, who played Victoria in London from 1986 - 1989 (also Bonnie Langford's sister), sister to Summer Strallen, swing covering for Cassandra, Electra, Etcetera, Jellylorum and Tantomile in London 2001 - 2002 and Cassandra in the UK Tour 2003, who played Demeter (as you can see in the picture) in the UK Tour 2014 and the London Palladium 2014, and is also the one who played Tantomile in the new CATS movie.
The voices, the costumes, the makeup, the choreography, the CAST. That’s what made Cats a hit. And that’s what the movie lacked.
I love watching how each of the cats react to the shoe dropping.
Mungojerrie's face @3:10 is absolute gold. 😂
He's funnyfunny
2:56 Rum Tum Tugger *knows* he's a queen of the night
Looks like a mix of David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, and Tim Curry from the Rocky Horror Picture Show lmao
I love how everyone is like ‘came from the 2019 trailer’ while I was a 10 year old leaping and rolling around my room coming up with choreography I can still remember with a crush on rumpleteazer 😂
I wish I was like you. Not here from the trailer, just a musical nerd looking for new music to obsess over.
Forget what Twitter thinks about the movie, I want to know what this cast thinks.
I love the chorus scene bc every subtle movement shows every cat's personality so clearly.. alonzo munkerstrap tugger and misto's hand movements are so different and on character,(alonzo full of zest and confidence munk leaderlike tugger.....like tugger and misto genuinely happy)and the expression on each cat's face when the boot appears out of nowhere are so like them as well(rumpleteazer's eyes going round looking genuinely surprised&unbelievably cute mungojerrie surprised and amused at the same time cassandra jellylorum and demeter looking elegantly offended) that's why I love chorus scenes as well as duets and solos.. you can't take your eyes off any cat even if they aren't the only main character of the scene
Yes.
0:11 that pose this actor is doing is the most cat like ive seen in the whole musical
What the name of the cat he's playing?
@Asher Jones Asparagus. He may be a younger version of Gus - cats in this first song are younger than after (look also at Deuteronomy or Grizabella)
Oh thank you
Looks better than the trailer. Perhaps, they should have stuck to this style?
I'm obsessed with the musical because of the film. I was my whole life procrastinating watching the musical and the film finally pushed me to watch it. I wish I'd seen it when I was a child and decided to become a musical artist. The all look so beautiful in it. I wonder what the members of the original casts are doing nowadays.
Me too!!!
I get a real kick out of the lyrics and movements. Every line references a cat throughout history, or describes a cat quality and of course everyone moves in a cat-like manner. Awesome, Pawsome, Clawsome!
1:35 her voice is the most beautiful thing, please serenade mee
I liked 1:30
Avery SoSavory Love her voice and appearance.
Avery SoSavory the cat's name is Cassandra and her aesthetic is truly unique amongst the rest of the Jellicle cats, she's usually supposed to be the most elegant amongst the bunch. You can find more information of her on her wiki.
Cassandra’s always been my favourite cat ❤️
I like when she sings "Jellicle cats have moonlight eyes."
Here because I had tickets to see the Broadway production today but were cancelled due to COVID-19. ;_;
Same my man. :(
This version will be my favorite always and forever! I used to watch this musical everyday on a dvd when I was 7 years old, now I’m 17 and I’m still knowing the songs
My sister and I watched this all the time, even bringing a portable black and white TV to watch it on. This also was the video cassette version.
Yes, I'm old.

I know right
It's Ken Page who played Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I saw the whole thing on a cruise named “oasis of the seas”. This was a very wonderful experience and you could tell that they wanted you there by smiling and waving to people, we were in the front so that was amazing! I recommend the cruise very much, also, at dinner, you pay before so you can eat anything on the menu!
God Jemima is so pretty, I was weirdly obsessed with her when I was like 11
Can someone make "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats but every time someone says Jellicle it gets faster"?
Ok! ^u^
I would if I could.:(
I will!

Hey, remember when the Cats characters WEREN'T nightmare fuel with CGI bodies?
What I love about cats is the understated subtleties in it. Relating humans to cats and depicting human nature in feline form. It also seems to be a celebration of culture, especially how much of the story is told through dance, as seen with Victoria, the white cat. It's just a work of art, beautiful and like nothing I've ever seen or heard
I randomly had the lyrics to this song in my head and I haven’t listened to the musical in a while-immediately, I kid you not, chills all over. They stayed throughout almost the entire half of the song. God, this is a masterpiece.
This song is annoyingly catchy
ikr

Tahlia Parker B
Tahlia Parker yes
Sofia Fonseca i agree i love this its a great song
0:04 ARE YOU BLIND WITH YOUR BOR
Director: just do something with you eyes
Cat:
Are you blind when you're born
I love how they sing super proud of themselfs then somebody throws a shoe at them lol, because althought they think so high of themselfs, they're are just a bunch of street cats doing noises at night, the movie didn't get this fine humor that is in the whole musical
I'll always thank my mother for taking me and my sister to see all the great musicals of the 80's and 90's. Cats is a favourite. 😸
This is honestly a breath of fresh air after watching other people try and fail to live up to this.
The Prancing Pony this is better than the original .
Niels Hoevenberg
I can't say I have watched the original but I'm inclined to agree with you because this version is amazing.
The Prancing Pony Please don't tell me you're talking about the Broadway cast right now. I saw it and it was amazing.
Joshua V. Harding
Um yes. I haven't watched it yet but I'm going to look it up and see if it can compare to this. It'll probably be rubbish.
This is the 1998 movie. Sorry, some people commenting didn't seem to realise that.
"Please hold for Princess Carolyn."
"What? You called me!"
Can we all appreciate the hours it took for them to learn all the choreography and songs/poems!
Truly hope these performers get some monetary compensation for these downloads...so deserved...tired of Hollywood ripping off truly talented people
Human: shut Up! 👞
Cats: ...
Cats: JELLICLE CATS ALELUYA!!
Samuel Vargas i've never liked this part. they never get the dynamics right for maximum comedic impact. the first time needs to be slightly quieter so that when they come back in it's much louder making it a little spiteful like "oooh so you want us to be quiet huh? hmm🤔............😏😝NOPE!"
This is so visually beautiful compared to the monstrosity playing in cinema.
Brings back memories was so obsessed with this as a kid such a talented actors who killed their performances. The songs, the stage production the whole thing was amazing!!!
I watched the movie two days ago and im cleansing my eyes with this
0:52 oh god i always thought she was ADORABLE! awww!
She is, duh
briatthedisco cats
briatthedisco good!!
yeah but do you know how to go to the heavyside lair
You wanna know the irony of your statement? That's not the actual voice of Jemima's actress in the film. Her actual voice has a thick Dutch accent, and they dubbed over it with a British actress out of fear that said accent would make her unintelligible.
So, Princess Carolyn is a jellicle cat.
Best 'hold' music ever.
haha yeah im here cause that :D
I was looking all over for a BoJack Horseman comment xD
I watched this at a theatre when I was 7 years old, I absolutely loved it! Very interested as to what the film is like.
"are you blind when you're born?"
Proceeds to stare into my soul
