My favorite thing about this, other than how catchy the song is, Darla made the performance way more epic by being an entire backstage crew without even trying. And it made her so unhinged, what she got after was so well deserved. Lol
She thought the switches were traps. But they improve performances. How could she have her own stage with cardboard, effects, and stuff without realizing what the switches do?
I discovered this movie as a kid because my mom used to go to a Block Buster and rent movies for me and this was one of them. And I am SO GLAD she did because if she hadn’t I never would’ve grown up with this masterpiece. It’s truly a hidden gem of my childhood.
Ah, yes. I know exactly how you feel. I remember Block Buster where me and my siblings would find a film to rent back in the 1990's; my childhood. Good ol' childhood memories.
Anyone else notice how Danny looks at Sawyer when she sings & dances? How happy he is to give her this moment in the sun, regardless of the fact he worked so hard, himself?
@@princessgiselleofandalasia6633 Technically, it could also mean that the students go to their next class (if this was a middle school/high school), or it could just mean the end of the school day, but pretty creative on setting it to the end of the year. My (and I'd probably guess yours too) school year's just started. Senior year too.
This was one of my favorite parts of this movie. I was about 5 years old when I 1st saw this movie I would find myself singing along and laughing at Darla's attempts to sabotage them only made it better. Such a great movie poorly underrated and forgotten through time
I loved this movie and I like how during this whole song Darla tries to sabotage their performance but everything ended up making the performance 100 Times better, and she gets more angry
Ahh yes, the classic "Things were oh-so much better back in my day!" argument. Usually spoken by older generations who don't understand the new generations and what like, and don't really have time, tolerance or interest in trying to understand either.
@@brandonspain12345 I'm in the new generation and I very much would prefer this over most of the stuff I see in the media today, but that's just me personally
I think why Darla hated animals so much I came up with a few theories myself, the one I think makes the most sense is that Darla's parents are either zoologist or veterinarians that work with animals and are rarely home and that's why she is so jealous cause the animals take all the attention away from her and she can't handle it
Thank you youtube, for reccomending this gem from my childhood. This was uploaded 10 years ago, the movie came out 25 years ago, and it still holds a place in my heart.
They worked their entire lives for that applause, and that’s essentially how the movie ends. Beautiful writing, beautiful casting, beautiful animation, this movie is just a beautiful work of art and I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid ❤️
My question is what was Darla so worried about? It’s not like if they got famous she would instantly lose everything. In fact if they knew she was helping them she probably would’ve been loved more.
Next thing you know, he’s a farm cat, then he’s a chubby cat pretending to be a dog, then he’s a stripy cat in France, then he’s a cat musketeer, then he’s a small kitten who became friends with dogs.
It's a shame this movie had little to no advertisement leading it to fail in the box office. If it had more advertising, it definetly would've succeeded
I just find it funny that if she *didn’t* sabotage, the show would be much less flashy and successful. Cause it didn’t look like they had anyone to handle the effects backstage unless s/he was just sitting and watching Darla take it
What is so incredible about this song is that Darla tries to sabotage the show and kill the animals, but she ends up making the show get better and better, ending up making the show better than hers. Who knew a villain could unintentionally help the heroes. Also, the expressions and singing is ✨️PRICELESS✨️
Danny] Excuse me ladies and gentlemen If you would be so kind Got someone very special here She's 'bout to speak her mind...

Nothing's gonna stop us now! Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us now! Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us Nothing's gonna stop us now!
I love this movie this was practically the first movie I noticed before I realize what movies were when I was really little at home at my grandmas house on VHS Too bad I didn’t see in theaters but by the time it came out I was like five
Sure, and it'd have to be about a now-teenage Darla plotting revenge against Danny for ruining her career (although it was really her own fault for being a nasty, stuck-up little buttface who was determined to stay on top of the world no matter what deviltry she had to resort to).
To quote a wish person on a classic show: “Face it dude, you just making us look cooler”-Soos (Sorry if I got this quote wrong, this entire scene reminds me of that quote from gravity falls)
I'm I who the only one as a kid who watches this a couple times, fell in love with it and then as you got older this felt like a fever Dream once you finally relive it
Mann itd been 3 years since I watched this. Aka 3 years since I moved back home to LA and wowwww this scene brought me to tears. I been watching this since 1997 ok. I’m turning 31 this year and the thing just CLICKED. Danny is me🥹🥹😭😭😭😭

I know right
Come on let’s go show them what we can do
That is so true.
@@NewChrisBrezzy oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Well, *yawn* it's kind of getting more or less rather *LATE*
Darlas faces in this scene are so great, especially her grinch face as she sinks below the ledge in the beginning of the song
I thought so too!
Ikr
did you know the grinch movie came right after this one
@@EatingNerds it did not, how the grinch stole christmas (the original animated one where the grinch face originates) came out in 1966 while this movie came out in 1997, even the live action version of the grinch came out in 2000, 3 years after this movie
I like how all her attempts to ruin the show kept backfiring on her.
I love how Darla manages to find every switch that would aid the show
My favorite thing about this, other than how catchy the song is, Darla made the performance way more epic by being an entire backstage crew without even trying. And it made her so unhinged, what she got after was so well deserved. Lol
She made their show look BIG & LOUD
Lol thx darla
One of the best and most underrated movies in history.
agreed with out a doubt
Agreed. And Ive never seen this movie before
@@luissoulless1976 I definitely recommend you watch it!
what is it called?
@@user-rp9is5km6c cats don’t dance
“Granddaddy of all switches”
I don’t know why this made me laugh as much as it did, but it did.
It still makes me laugh
I see “Master Switch” doesn’t matter to them.
It is apprantly the switch that summons one of the US standard Battleships to take part in the performance.
She thought the switches were traps. But they improve performances. How could she have her own stage with cardboard, effects, and stuff without realizing what the switches do?
After all these years, I had no idea that's what it said. xD
I discovered this movie as a kid because my mom used to go to a Block Buster and rent movies for me and this was one of them. And I am SO GLAD she did because if she hadn’t I never would’ve grown up with this masterpiece. It’s truly a hidden gem of my childhood.
Well what if I when I become a director how about you like to relive your childhood when I hopefully can remake this musical masterpiece.
I used to rent this movie from Blockbuster as well, back as a kid. It is a pretty good movie despite I haven't seen it in a while.
I watched it in school because my teacher put on a movie towards the last few days. She was just as sick of school as we were lol.
I remember blockbusters 🥲it brings me to tears 😭
Ah, yes. I know exactly how you feel. I remember Block Buster where me and my siblings would find a film to rent back in the 1990's; my childhood. Good ol' childhood memories.
Anyone else notice how Danny looks at Sawyer when she sings & dances? How happy he is to give her this moment in the sun, regardless of the fact he worked so hard, himself?
Honestly, only time he takes lead is when she hands it to him. Its so cute.
The animators must have been in tears laughing when designing the little blonde girl haha. never gets old
Her name is Darla. But I see your point.
And this, class, is how it proves to show animation can be unique, and to, quite literally, bring down the house.
(bell rings)
Class dismissed!

alright but can we talk abt how the hippo KILLED IT?? Like, MISS GIRL??❤️
Her name is Tilly:), we love and protect her.
Fr I love tilly
"Miss girl" lmao
LoL
😂
5 year old me: nothing's gonna stop us now.
30 year old me: still a great movie and song. Makes you feel like your in church on Sunday.
I don't know why, but this scene still cracks me up. The thought of Darla screwing up, screwing it up.
This was one of my favorite parts of this movie. I was about 5 years old when I 1st saw this movie I would find myself singing along and laughing at Darla's attempts to sabotage them only made it better. Such a great movie poorly underrated and forgotten through time
I just LOVE how they went all out silly and crazy and creative with this! I’m 27 year now but this always brings back to life my 7 year old self
Man this performance put me in tears. It's so beautiful.
Truly
I loved this movie and I like how during this whole song Darla tries to sabotage their performance but everything ended up making the performance 100 Times better, and she gets more angry

That must’ve been awesome for Scott Bakula performing with the legendary Natalie Cole.

I'm getting strong Baby Doll vibes, and considering this was produced and distributed by Warner Bros back in the day, I'm not surprised
In 2nd grade my Music teacher would put this on, it was so good
They have no business making Sawyer so darn attractive

Yay!🍔🍔💘💖💌🎂😍😍🎂🎂🎂😍😍🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Anyone notice at 1:22 that Darla’s face is like the Grinch’s in the cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
I like Grinch!🤩🤩💗💖🐆💓😍😍😍
Hooray for me!🧀🧀💝🤩💗💖🐘❤️🐘🤑💟🎉👏🐯💞👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

2:35 the wall that darla smashed into turns into a heart
Thomas O’Malley just turned all jazzy and anthropomorphic!
I'm Abraham deLacey- Giuseppe Casey- Thomas O'Malley - O'Malley the alley cat!

Also that's clearly Dutchess with him -
I can imagine the ensemble as the Aristocats and alley cats and Darla playing the role of Edgar! 😁
I forgot about this movie 😭😭 one of most iconic 💗
@Itz Toca sunshine 🌟 it happens 😭 lol
When a song is so good The universe helps out.
1:22 😂 grinch face
What an explosive performance 🎭
Welp... At least the audiences were *blown* away by their performance 💀

Okay, it's not something but like Nothings Gonna Stop this Song from being a Fun Jazzy Toon we All can Love

Fail after fail in Darla’s attempts.
Without Max to handle the dirty work for her she has no idea what she's doing.
@@rippingtons60 She would be helpless without her bodyguard.

And failed

I miss old animations ❤
The most underrated movie
This is a great (and very underrated) movie 😆
I only found out about it last year
Think of the name of the song. And think of what Darla's trying to do throughout the whole thing. She's trying to STOP them. Do the math.
2:39 is underrated
I love this movie this was practically the first movie I noticed before I realize what movies were when I was really little at home at my grandmas house on VHS Too bad I didn’t see in theaters but by the time it came out I was like five
*the barefooted animals danced, ignoring the sharp shards of broken lightbulbs scattered across the stage, digging their way painfully into the feet
I keep thinking about that too
....i gave up on thinking basically
Danny and Sawyer are just like the prince Aladdin and princess jasmine
"Nothing's Going to Stop Us Now" by Patton Chandler & Lawson Young | Cats Don't Dance Animated Movie

They really should make a Cats Don't Dance 2 sequel.
If only that was possible.
@@dreamguardian8320 Maybe a second generation Cats Don't Dance sequel?
@@skydragon84 Maybe.
Sure, and it'd have to be about a now-teenage Darla plotting revenge against Danny for ruining her career (although it was really her own fault for being a nasty, stuck-up little buttface who was determined to stay on top of the world no matter what deviltry she had to resort to).
I always knew Captain Archer was secretly a Broadway showman.
I have no idea why Cats Don’t Dance has suddenly gained popularity, but hey I’m not complaining lmao
Excellent demonstration of instrumental convergence
I love this and it was lot, alot of fun but still just alot-alot
SCOTT BAKULA is the voice of danny the cat🐱
amazing 👍✨
Darla tried to Saratoga their show and all she did was make it BIG AND LOUD!!
Nothing's Going to Stop Us Now at Cats Don't Dance Orchestra Concert!
Hey if that was a wheel show I would start laughing the moment it was over And I would clap too
Not seen this in years a forgotten movie 🍿 catchy musical numbers
Years before NCIS New Orleans Scott would play Danny; spoken and sung. Happy free comic book day y'all ❤️
I like how Darla's attempts to ruin the show all backfired on her.
To quote a wish person on a classic show:
“Face it dude, you just making us look cooler”-Soos
(Sorry if I got this quote wrong, this entire scene reminds me of that quote from gravity falls)
Exactly her sabotaging it, all she did was add more great appearance to their great performance.
😲🤩👍
Danny would define the men I’m into today
The best song in the late 1990s
Guys sound like cozy glow from mlp.
The way it cut to the outside when the building was exploding from the top, got a good wheeze out of me :V
