    Art (whether it be pictures, stories, music, video games, etc) is a completely subjective matter. If you like Cats (as a play, as a film, or both), great! If you don’t, fantastic! That’s the beauty of subjective concepts. There’s no right or wrong answer; it’s based entirely on your opinion.

    The only reason I didn’t like Cats the movie was because of the way they did the story... The original musical is messy and confusing and that’s kind of what makes it fun. They kind of over explained and simplified everything in the movie so I felt that ruined it. Also, some of the designs of certain characters made it really hard to figure out which character was which. I believe they could’ve done a lot better with the CGI, yes, but I can’t say it’s the worst I’ve seen. The main thing with it is the faces, I’d say. I love the original musical- it’s my favorite actually. I just wish they would’ve captured the essence of the original and portrayed it a lot better. I just feel bad that the animators that did the incredible amount of work on that CGI had to be bashed down because it didn’t look the greatest.

      @jenneacubero1036 3 роки тому +5

      Ami Ru Ro Agreed. Should've either stick to the makeup or, at least, come up with more original textures and costumes for the Jellicles. As for the story, I remember seeing a comment on a different video talking about what made the 1998 cast memorable; it was more community driven and felt like a group you would want to befriend. Still, what they should've done was make a prequel of sorts to the musical and show why the tribe hated Grizabella or what was Demeter's history with Macavity.

    Not gonna lie, I have loved Cats the theatre production since I was very small. My parents had it on video and I would watch it over and over, singing the songs and dancing along! And I saw it live too, before it was pulled from the UK and adored that as well. I recently watched the movie and while I thought it wasn't even close to as good, I still enjoyed the music and songs. Glad to see another Cats person ❤️

      *Spoilers Ahead!* (if any of you really care for that at this point)
      -Meet Jellicles
      -Learn about Jellicles
      -Learn about Jennyanydots and Rum Tum Tugger
      -Grizabella appears ad everyone is negative towards her
      -Learn about more Cats
      -Jellicle Ball
      -Grizabella appears and sings a bit of Memory before sulking away again
      -Deuteronomy tries to reach out for Grizabella but she leaves
      -Deuteronomy sings Moments of Happiness (he’s basically already chosen Grizabella)
      -More learning about Cats
      -Macavity kidnaps (or should I say… catnaps? 😂) Deuteronomy
      -Demeter and Bomblerina sing about Macavity

      -It’s almost time for the Jellicle Choice

      -Grizabella is chosen to go to the Heaviside Layer

On our second night we had frontrow seats at the performance of Cats. And for those who never witnessed the musical live, part of the sets rotates with the frontrow moving along. Also there was circular hole in the stage in front of us and we joked before the show a cat would come out; and when the show began one of the perfomers did come and crawled on the stage and we had to hold in our laughter

    Another theory for the shimbolshanks number is that it was sung by all dancers, so the song is actually in tempo, the other songs used a diffrent method and the tempo is everywhere and you can hear the orchestra struggling to stay with the singers because they are sort of doing their own thing.
    But with dance you need to stay in time, it's what keeps everything together and not fall apart.

      Ok, but I actually think the horny part in the original works (for the most part). While there's not really a real plot and the events are up for interpretation for a large part of the play, I think the first act's focus on what is supposedly Victoria's first Jellicle Ball is quite beautiful. It reads to me like some sort of sexual awakening thingy, and if they took out that one immersion-breaking tiddy grab I would be totally fine with it. With the 2019 movie, they left some of the horny parts and now it just feels like there's no reason for them to be there.

    As a theater kid myself, I've been told _Cats_ is the black sheep of the theatrical community. It's a play that you either absolutely love, or you absolutely hate. I get that some things don't translate well to film, but then again _Cats_ doesn't exactly have a plot per say. It doesn't mean you can't get a good film out of it (maybe work on the script a bit), but this show was meant as an experience rather than an in-depth story. If it was an animated feature produced by Steven Spielberg (like it was originally intended), maybe it would have had a better chance at the box office. But as is, I think it'll just get a future cult following similar to _The Rocky Horror Picture Show_ or _The Room_ .
    Andrew Lloyd Webber is to theater what George Lucas is to film. He can be talented, and has revolutionized the industry (if not made a lot of money), but not all of his projects hit bullseye.
