Lyrics:
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones
In fact, he's remarkably fat
He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs
For he's the St. James Street cat!
He's the cat we all greet as we walk down the street
In his coat of fastidious black
No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers
Or such an impeccable back

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.
The younger ladies are attracted to Rum Tum Tugger but the older ladies...Bustopher Jones.
Haha, maybe that means something. Young people are attracted to sex appeal, older people are attracted to manners and someone who can provide.
Younger ladies like a man who can show them the clubs, but older ladies like a man who can show them the best resturants
not just the ladies attracted to rum tum tugger 🥺
@@rrrrogahtaylah2636 Everyone one wants to tug Rum tum tugger´s rump
I SAW THAT TOO KSKSKSJSKS
Theory: Bustopher Jones was the Jellicle Choice in a former life. He was a starving stray, like most of the tribe, and was reborn to a wealthy owner. So now he represents the promise of a new life to all these younger, hopeful cats and that's why they adore him rather than envy him.
I REALLY love this theory!
Oooooooh that's actually a really good theory! Probably the same for jenyanydot. She also seems very content and happy
Probably Skimbleshanks too. He seems happy and well taken care of, and gets to feel important.
I think that now he has multiple "owners".
@@stanisawjurek9775 Servants.
"Oh lawd he coming" size cat
There was a large amount of ppl in the live chat for the musical that said that when he showed up. Lol
25 POUNDS??
"Oh lawd he coming" the song
Indeed
And the "Discord moderator" sized cat
The Musical:
Bustopher Jones is considered a smart and respected cat because he has not only one, but several consistent sources of food. For alley cats, or cats belonging to middle class families, he seems like an upper-class businessman, and many cats respect and admire him.
Jennyanydots may seem fat and lazy during the day, she's an extremely hard worker that takes care of not only other cats, but also even mice and cockroaches. She's kind, generous, and if she's strict it's only out of her care for her hosuehold.
The Movie:
Oh? These characters are overweight??? Hmmmmmm we DID need some comic relief!
MOVIE JENNY ATE THE MICE AND COCK ROACHES
This is so true it hurts
Unpopular opinion: James Corden was perfect as Bustopher Jones because Bustopher is meant to be an aristocratic fat-cat in the literal sense. And I say this as somebody who hates James Corden with a passion. Having Bustopher scrounge around in bins for food is not just subverting this particular trope but is also a very feline thing to do.
Rebel Wilson meanwhile was miscast as Jennyanydots because Jenny is meant to be a hard working and motherly cat that looks after all the animals, not an unamusing, lazy, fat glutton that munches on CGI anthropomorphic cockroaches.
@@Clbull118 James is an aristocratic fat cat but he's not very respectable not considered particularly smart among common folk is he?
@@Clbull118 I agree Derulo was weak as RTT. I always saw the character as a fun-loving rebel, but Derulo just kinda twitched awkwardly and didnt look like he wanted to be there.
It's so cute how Mr Mistoffolees just follows him around everywhere
The most accepted theory is that Bustopher is Misto's uncle.
@@codenamejinza yeah i kinda got the vibe that they're relatives or smtn. I thought he was his grandfather
@@codenamejinza OMG I THOUGHT OF THAT TOO
Jacob Brent said in his live that Misto really likes him cause they look the same, and that's just cuute.
Its very cute really
WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE MY MAN COMIC RELIEF
HE CARRIES AROUND HIS SPOON AND WEARS HIS SUIT HES THE DEFINITION OF CLASS
IKR
THE BLASPHEMY!
I'd want to carry around a big spoon
Seriously! Bustopher Jones wouldn't have gotten tricked into some bottomless trash can; the dude travels around and begs the bougousie!
Ikr!!! The spoon was an especially weird yet perfect touch!!!! Why didn't they keep that???
Then: In fact, he's remarkably fat
Now: In fact, he's remarkably CHONK
Hazel Grey pish posh, bustopher is to high class for that language… he THICC
Ahhahhaha
He is the brother to Big Chungus.
Bustopher Jones: "I'm a touch peckish, I think..."
Every Gentleman's Club in St. James's: O H L A W D H E C O M I N '
An absolute unit
After seeing the James Corden version:
"Look how they massacred my boy"
Waldo Does Games the sad thing is that James Corden is actually really talented, but this is a terrible part for him. It’s like the people who cast him have never heard him sing before.
I actually think that James Corden -could- do a good in the role with the right direction.
I think James Corden will do fine with what he gets, but the whole portrayal of the character just seems so wildly off that even then it will suck.
From what little I saw of him in the trailer he just seems like a complete twat now, not the dignified and respected cat he’s meant to be
The more I watch this, the more certain I am that James Corden was an awful choice for this role. Come on Andrew, you didn’t have a say in this at all?!?
The musical: Bustopher is a respected figure because he is a cat who is well-fed, and who doesn't go hungry, unlike many of the cats in the Junkyard who probably don't have families to take care of them. They all see Bustopher as a legend, and even Munkustrap obviously respects Bustopher.
The movie: Bustopher is a joke and will most likely be used as a comedic character and will not be sophisticated or respected, and he and Jenny will be reduced to nothing but comedic relief.
You nailed it
This really bothered me
Well... you weren’t wrong. The one they did the best justice to, was Skimbleshanks. The cat that I forgot about from the musical, but what they did with Skimble was brilliantly inspired.
hi, came from the future to confirm everything you wrote + James Corden and Rebel Wilson are the most unclassy fucks in existence
analicious94 rebel wilson is funny though so yeah she shouldn’t of been Jenny but yeah she is usually funny in movies she’s in
The actor playing Mistofeeles does not stop to amaze me. He does not look like an actor in the costume playing his role, he IS the cat like it is his true identity and all the cat's manners are natural for him. It is clear that he simply enjoys the role, like he can finally be himself.
Lubystka Olamonola Jacob Brent id awesome.
I would die for him. He's such a sweetheart.
@@curuvari2247 Yes he is! I was so thrilled to meet him! ❤️
@@Hinatachan360 That's amazing! Good for you, honestly! 😭😍😍🐱
Well he IS the Marvelous Mr. Mistofeeles, of course he is amazing
Stage version: Well respected, well fed, sophisticated
Movie version: Lol funny fat joke
I knew a cat like Bustopher Jones. He was very dignified. If you petted him wrong he would hiss or try to bite and then
lick his fur back into place. It's as if he was telling us "My fur must be just so and so".
My old cat, Mufasa, was the most dignified but gracious and gentle cat I knew. Unlike Jones, though, he was lean (oh, and we were never rich) XD
Misto is Bustopher's nephew, if not his son. Change my mind.
I cannot attempt to change your mind. I believe the same thing.
I agree fully, or at least Misto looks up greatly to Bustopher, and Bustopher sees him as a sort of student
Jonique'a Smith:Wait!What did you say?Mistoffelees is bustopher's nephew and bustopher is his uncle Jonquil Gemstone?😕
Jonique'a Smith:I thought you said son.😯😮
Hes the son
I have a theory that Bustopher Jones is Mistoffelees' dad just because of how Misto acts in this video (imitating Jones' mannerism, playing with his tail, and just acting really excited to see him) I think that would be cute
Alternate hot take: sugar daddy
Vui Vui hahaha no, that’s too cursed
Sheioks Jfkwis yeah I have a similar theory it would make sense seeing as they’re the only two with black and white fur
Yes, i agree
I really like the headcanon that Mistoffelees was adopted by Bustopher and Skimble
I find it funny to think about a chunky black and white cat trotting down the street
Jane hay - he’s like Sherlock Holmes’ brother, Mycroft who enjoys his club(s) his drinks AND his dinners and has never apologized for it 🤣😂
with his lil white spats :')
M Fitzburger and his coat of fastidious black :D
Welcome to my world
I'd follow him
Bustopher in the musical: a noble gentleman who is proud of his weight because it shows how important he is, in general a cat that everyone respects and admires.
Bustopher in the film: a glutton who literally eats junk and just wasn't cut because the producers saw an opportunity for comic relief and fat jokes.
It's evolving just backwards.
Like Jennyanydots, they make this charming, dignified, and we'll respected member of the Jellicles into a fool and horribly miscast the character to boot
They basically removed any charm and turned them into one note terrible comedic relief
They just turned them both into "haha fat funny you can laugh now" type characters.
@@Oddity2994 disgraceful
James Corden's such an amazing comedian that he made both his career and Bustopher into jokes
@@a.vasquez771 And they completely missed the point at the british stereotypes these characters represent :D
"In fact, he's remarkably...fat."
I love Bomba guys, she's so shady.
Loren Daemon
Shes also a huge flirt.Its hysterical.
hopegirl518 Ashlynn she's pretty great!!
I LOVE bumbal!
She's very beautiful, isn't she?
Cats fans are the best
Me trying to look like mr mistoffeles, but ending up as bustopper jones... sigh.
It's ok, everyone loves how big bustopher is ^-^
@@Jixsurez They do seem to treat him that way in the musical.
Exactly what I thought!
Well, he is the smartest of cats, after all
An admired and successful business cat?
I like how Bomba is attempting to act as impressed as everyone else but she's just like 'Eeehhh'
"who's man is this"
To be fair, that's about as excited as Bombalurina ever acts 😂
@@princezzpuffypants6287 She got excited with Tugger lol
@@taylorm7777 It's Tugger lmao
I don't know, when Bustopher hands out the flower, Bomba looks excited when she thinks it might be given to her and then looks disappointed when it goes to Jenny. I think Bomba isn't as immune to Bustopher's charms as much as she pretends XD
I’m sorry, Andy L. Webbs, but you can’t just hit me with “Toodle Pip!” and expect me to keep watching this musical like it didn’t happen.
lmao
I thought he said toodle pimp
Frankly, if that's the biggest think about this musical that strikes you as unusual... I have some questions :P
4:12
That part makes me laugh every time merely for how random it is!
Okay one thing: the difference between Bustopher and Grizzabella is that Bustopher didn't reject the Jellicles. He doesn't seem to live with this rowdy pack of alley cats anymore (if he did at first) but he still attends the Jellicle Ball and seems to treat the other cats with respect. Grizzabella on the other hand, rejected the other Jellicles completely to run off to seek fame and fortune, only to return when she fell on hard times. That's why they have trouble accepting her back - not because she left to become the Glamour Cat, but because she rejected their family, only to come back begging for help. Bustopher might be richer than the others, but he's still a Jellicle, so they're proud, not upset. Grizzabella abandoned them, so they take a while to accept her back.
Agreed, like his song implies "He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street" he's still a very present part of the Jellicle community despite his aristocratic life. As with all of the older cats (Shanks and his trains, Jenny helping different parts of the community) he has his own life to live but still makes time for the others which as you layed out is the difference maker.. in comparison to Griz who seemingly ran away from it all.
But there some cats have home. Actually a lot of cats.
cats the musical: "within the universe we've created, a fat cat is basically an aristocrat; he is well fed, which ups his survival stats, and he is also adored by the other cats due to being intelligent/lucky enough to have his situation on lock (and he shares the information so hes not being a greedy selfish asshole)"
cats the movie: "the only settings we have for fat characters are 'lazy asshole', 'egotistical prick' and 'greedy/selfish corporate dickhead', which do you want?"
James Corden has destroys his balls
It honestly just occured to me that that's why he's sharing that information. So the other cats know where to go when hunting's hard up. OMG that seriously just makes so much sense. Feral cats do go to places they know they'll get handouts when they want an easy meal or can't find prey. My town is filled with people that feed strays. Damn now I get why he's so respected he's pretty much telling them where their version of food pantries are. 🥺
@@vampirewolf373 I think a lot of the cats have homes, because they have collars and mention "the family". (Like Mistoffelees human family "calls him in from the garden for hours" when he's already in front of the fireplace.) But you make a good point, because it's not like a house cat will turn down fancy food, lol!
Also, a fat cat is probably quite unusual for the Jellicles. They are alley cats - food wouldn't come consistently, even with the Magical Mr. Mistoffelees.
Loren Daemon Actually, if you look further into it, most of them have owners outside the junkyard. Munkustrap, for example, has a ring on his collar for a leash, meaning his owners take him on walks. Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer openly state quite a few times they have owners ("And the family would say, 'It's that horrible cat!'"). 🙂
Point.
I hope they bring food for the Jellicles who are alley cats, I guess?
hopegirl518 Ashlynn Where does it say that? Is it a part of the musical, or something you read? 🙂
Nanananayeah YouAreTheMusicInMe
Something I read.
Skimble could also bring food from the nightmail
The guy playing Mr. Mistoffelees in this version is SO CUTE! He is so expressive. I feel like he just steals every scene.
That's Jacob Brent. He's just as adorable and charming irl. 😊
Jenny fainting after Bustopher gives her a flower always makes me laugh
Tottle Pip!
@@romankotas448
Jenny- 🙀🙀🙀😵😵😵
I ship
I always love Misto's face when he sits down on that hat. He's all relieved like "Oh thank God that didn't cave in under him."
Only 25 pounds...
I like how the lines about him being fat aren't even jokes, they're character building: it's seen as admirable that he has more than enough food
You know what this number needs? A nutshot joke. Yeah, that'll bring in an audience.
Hahaha, yes, lol! For whose tastes were the two gratuitous nutshots in the cinema version of Cats intended???
I love how at 1:50 Mr Mistoffolees is like "Yeah, you see me? I'm right next to Bustopher Jones. I'm super important."
Bustopher im sorry they hurt you like this in 2019. Your character didn’t deserve to get murdered by James Corden.
James Corden has destroys his balls
It's crazy how, after the 2019 tragedy, you can look back on this version and think "Man .... Cats is so dignified!" Yeah, they're hopping and rolling about in leotards and face paint, but the performers still maintain a dignified poise that comes natural to them as dancers but also works in character for the cats. Meanwhile, 2019 was just "How can we make Cats even more uncomfortable to look at??"
You gotta commit to the bit. Especially when you're doing music.
"Cats" needs the same commitment superhero movies do.
Chris Evans made a spangly uniform, and Hugo Weaving in stupid makeup look natural.
Everyone talking about how excited Mistoffelees is around Bustopher-as they should-but my heart melts when Munkustap salutes him at 0:49.
2:45 The face Misto pulls at the mere *mention* of rice pudding
He's adorable
George as well. George is like: 😮
Based rice pudding enjoyer 😋
Bustopher deserved so much better than he got in the 2019 movie. And the sad part is, James Cordon wasn't even a bad casting choice; if the character had been treated with more respect, he could have nailed it
Tell me more
Bustopher in musical - Respected figure, among Cats
James Corden... I believe even among those who he works with, he is not really respected
Bustopher: well respected, remarkably round and shares information and tips for food to the others cause he ain't greedy
Movie busto: *fat joke*
I love how adorable Misto/Quaxo is in this number, the way he tries his best to keep everyone in line for Bustopher, playing with Bus's tail and them tumbling backwards. The theory that they're related makes a lot of sense
His number is basically the other cats and the audience going “OH LAWD HE COMIN!”
I often imagine the real-life cats that TS Eliot likely knew who became basis for the felines in his poems , then the characters in this show. For Bustopher Jones, I picture a stately Tuxedo cat who with who would wander through the neighborhood, meowing at backdoors and porches until the residents and/or business proprietors came out to feed him leftovers and share treats with him 'til eventually he grew into a big round chonker of a cat. Yet despite his extra weight, he still carried himself with the grace and dignity of a well bred aristocrat.
Jellylorum was the name of one of TS Eliot's cats.
He seems like the cat that would walk over to a conversation, sit, and you would swear he was listening and understanding everything.
Someone pointed out that Misto is an adolescent yet he acts like a kitten.
Then someone mentioned that you can point out the kittens because they are all on fours.
What if, an adolescent cat, can go on all fours and two since he is between a kitten and an adult
Makes sense as I believe Quaxo i.e. Mr Mistofffles is supposed to be only a little older than Victoria, who is the eldest of the kittens. So, his attempts at acting all precocious while occasionally falling into kitten habits is understandable.
I feel like there need to be more comments to appreciate how adorable Bustopher and Jenny are. They seem to be mutually crushing over each other. Him handing her a rose at the end like the classy gentleman he is, is fairly sweet. Yeah, the CGI movie was terrible, but let's forget about that for a second and focus on the good things. This. ^^
Okay. Tell me more.
I also love how Jenny crushes on Bustopher ❤
She had to fan herself when she said “he’s a 25 pounder” she’s so into him. 💀
Bustopher Jones reminds me of one cat I knew. There was this cute little tortoiseshell tabby girl who’d come around to my house in the evening. I’d give her some kibble thinking she was a stray or something. She kept coming back at around the same time. Almost like clockwork. I noticed she started to put on some weight and I was worried that she was pregnant, but I couldn’t catch her to get her checked out. Then, one day when I was feeding her again in the evening, one of my neighbors was taking a walk and asked me if she was my cat. I said no. Turns out, she’s been making the rounds and mooching food from other people’s houses. The neighbor I mentioned would feed her in the morning, and a couple other houses would also feed her at different times! That same neighbor eventually took her in as their own and she’s still there.
Really sophisticated and highly respected cat: **shows up**
Mr. Mistoffelees: **plays with his tail**
Munkustrap: **damage control mode**
Yea give it to the fat cat, he has a monocle, i trust him.
SIDEWAYS REFERENCE
Watching how Mistoffelees follows Bustopher Jones, I get the impression they're related. Like Bustopher is his father or something.
I think its been stated bustopher is his uncle that he looks up to greatly
Am I the only one who suspects Bustopher Jones and Mr. Mistoffelees/Quarxo are related, at least in this portrayal? They have very similar coat patterns and Mr. Mistoffelees was oddly attentive to him.
The common fan theory is that Bustopher Jones is Mistoffelees's uncle; I like that theory, cuz it makes their interactions twice as adorable :3
insert cheesy pun here whenever bustofer mentions his home you can see mistoffelees looking around pointing at himself like “that’s my home too”
Alexandre Phaneuf élève during bustophers solo part he’s costanty looking around at the other cats and pointing to himself looking all proud
That's because they look so similar so Misto really likes the idea that they look the same! Jacob said this in his recent live and I found that really adorable X3 that I feel like more should know about this little fact.
They are father and son
With how Misto is in this song, I've always felt like he saw Bustopher Jones as like an Uncle x3
He IS his uncle. Misto's mom is one of Bustopher's sisters, so Misto's always looked up to him.
@@Gunganfan That is just too cute. 🐱
So they are related. That's adorable x3
That's not Mister Mistopholees, it's Quaxo.
CommentCop Badge#666 They’re the same cat. Quaxo is just Misto’s ensemble name.
I swear, Mr. Mistoffelees steals the show in every scene. Jacob Brent is incredible.
Am I the only one who thinks that the usually serious Coricopat being so nervous and then sag with relief after Bustopher approves of him is just plain adorable?
Everyone talks about how much Mistofolees loves Bustopher Jones but let's not forget Munkustrap virtually burning with reverence and poor Gumby with hearts in her eyes
I would've loved a soundtrack with this cast.
Austin Pearce I made one on my channel. Even with a 30 second intermission!
The Elephant Pig no you didn't? I can't find it
theres one on soundcloud that includes the overture
Most of these guys are actually dubbed. They got the best dancers to do the show and the best singers to dub over the singing, including our beloved Mungo & Rumple
@@LisaMurielBrandt The majority of jemima's part was dubbed over due to jemima having an accent, (her " real " voice can still be heard here and there). Mungojerry and rumpleteazer are actually voiced by the actors, there was a dub recorded (which is credited) but it was not used for whatever reason.
I came here to cleanse my soul after what I saw
Look how they massacred my boy
Diamonds And Dynamite Cosplay SAME
I love bustopher Jones. I'm dreading seeing what cordon has done to him..
Do you guys think everyone else watching all these videos hasn't noticed these exact same copy and pasted comments from other videos? Think for yourself 😂
James Corden is going to murder this character...
in the grave
The more I watch this, the more certain I am that James Corden was an awful choice for this role. Come on Andrew, you didn’t have a say in this at all?!? Tom Hooper, fucking JAMES CORDEN, DUDE? THE MAN CANNOT ACT FOR SHIT, MUCH LESS PULL THE POSH CHARM THIS ROLE REQUIRES.
James Corden and Tom Hopper have reduced this to a song a string of fat jokes.
A song not just murdered, but left out to mauled by rabid foxes and similar such like despoliation.
James Corden isn’t the main killer trust me
@@analicious94 I doubt Andrew was asked to be involved at all. One thing is for sure, James would have never gotten this role. The guy has talent, but singing is definitely not one of them, just because he popularized Carpool Karaoke, it does not mean he's a good singer.
Never thought I would a find a song that describes one of my cats so accurately.
Etcetera's face when Jenny sings "and he's putting on weight every day" takes me out every time. 😂😂😂😂
Bustopher Jones is a smart, wise and experienced cat. He is seen as an icon figure by the youger folks, whilst also very well respected by adults and seniors alike.
Tom Hooper: Oh GuYs He iS fAt iSnT It fUnNy
The very definition of "gentleman."
More like gentlecat XD
My family had to put down our 18 year old cat last week. His name was Romeo. I always saw Bustopher Jones as Romeo- they were so similar.
I tear up watching this clip now
The Musical: _proper, tidy, beautiful coat and respectable presence_
The Movie: _ha ha fat and gross cat_
Bustopher Jones, absolute unit.
Mr Mistoffolees is a treasure
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones
In fact, he's remarkably fat
He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs
For he's the St. James Street cat!
He's the cat we all greet as we walk down the street
In his coat of fastidious black
No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers
Or such an impeccable back
In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell of cats
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats
My visits are occasional to the senior educational
And it is against the rules
For any one cat to belong both to that
And the Joint Superior Schools
For a similar reason, when game is in season
I'm found, not at Fox's, but Blimp's
I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen
Which is famous for winkles and shrimp
In the season of venison I give my Benison
To the Pothunter's succulent bones
And just before noon's not a moment too soon
To drop in for a drink at the Drones
When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry
At the Siamese or at the Glutton
When I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb
On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton
In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell of cats
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats
So much in this way passes Bustopher's day
At one club or another he's found
It can be no surprise that under our eyes
He has grown unmistakably round
He's a twenty-five pounder
Or I am a bounder
And he's putting on weight every day
But I'm so well preserved because I've observed
All my life a routine and I'd say
I am still in my prime, I shall last out my time
That's the word from this stoutest of cats
It must and it shall be spring in mall pall
While Bustopher Jones wears white
Bustopher Jones wears white
Bustopher Jones wears white spats.
I know lyrics are in the desc. But you cant exit the app while on phone and still listen to it, so I wanted to put it here for mobile users
You forgot the most important lyric: "Toodle pip!" :D
Thank you so much.
Except Bombalurina they aren’t making fun of his stoutness. His fat because he’s fancy, and they admire that.
I don't think she's making fun...
Oh lawd he comin
The real question is:
How does Misto not wipe off his makeup when he licks his chops
It is greasepaint and set with powder so it stays
Just repeat to yourself "it's just a show, I should really just relax."
David McAninch (MST3K theme plays) “Oh Magical, Mister, Mistoffellees!”
Christian Paystrup THANK YOU!!!!!!!
@@davidmcaninch4714 I do that when I'm watching The Big Bang Theory and Howard's mother yells, "HOWARD!" I still want to know what Mrs Wolowitz looks like.
Nah give it to the fat cat, he has a monocle I trust him
Tootle pip never fails smiles on my face
Silver Stung there is a lot of strange camera shots in this show. I feel like mr mistoffolees get the most close ups...... i always find myself looking at him. His makeup is just so interesting
@@hunteroehlschlaeger8834 This is most likely a combination of footage from a live performance cut with clips from a closed performance where they had cameras on stage with the actors.
Oh yeah, it’s so darn awesome
I just noticed Rum Tum Tugger pretty much peaced out when Bustopher showed up
Bustopher Jones cracks me up! The way he recounts his dining with such enthusiasm, gravity, and drama, and the way he delights himself, like at 2:59. Toodle pip!!
I... this comment scared me, that's all I need to say
@@hooey4362I’m a die hard cats fan and same 😭
Munkustrap is the most relaxed he is in the entirety of the musical in this song.
The big man himself. I like that he's not the typical pompous rich buffoon, but he's actually a genuinely nice guy. He also has a suit, a monocle, and a cane, which automatically makes him incredibly classy and awesome.
"Ok, but only a spoonful-"
3:22 on the left, Misto is immitating Bustopher
3:26 pause and look at all the faces xD
3:38 is Misto really directing and correcting the others and then even answer a question?
Lady Marrry thanks!
Omg xD they all have different facial expretions
Bombalurina: ugh what is that
Misto imitating Jones is ADORABLE. I love Misto and Jones' relationship. It feels like Jones is Misto's uncle who Misto really looks up to.
Bombalurina: 👁👄👁
✨ *TOODLE PIP* ✨
✋TOODLE PIP🤚
He is, as the kids say, chonky.
0:19 LOOK AT BOMBA, THAT SMILE WAS SO CUTE
The musical: To the Jellicles, Bustopher Jones is an incredibly successful cat. He's the St. James Street cat, so even though he's (probably) a stray, he goes around to all the posh restaurants and gets the kitchen scraps from the cooks every single day. He has a lot of good, fancy food every day without having to work for it (i.e. he's not a "commonplace mouser"). Essentially, he's the idle rich.
The movie: Ha ha James Corden is wearing a fat suit.
Misto is such a child with bustopher and it’s adorable
Following him around, acting like him, being like “give me attention”, it’s adorable
He’s also kept him from falling atleast 3 times and it’s funny as fuck
Kevin Chamberlin should’ve played him in the movie, he does broadway. Plus his vocal rang is perfect for the character. I’ve always thought so, since he played Bertram on Jessie and would occasionally sing.
Kevin Chamberlin would’ve been an amazing Bustopher! I didn’t even think of him, but he’d have been a great fit.
In the new cats movie they made him out to be a joke eating out of the trash🙄 but in this version he was dignified and respected.
James Corden has destroys his balls
0:56
Misto: *just slides in and grabs tail*
that's a comically large spoon
I don’t think Bombalurina gets why Jennyanydots finds Bustopher so alluring, but she respects them both enough to just go along with it.
It is cute that Bustopher Jones and Jenny are singing along together~~ He even gave her a flower
Aw lawd he comin’
man, this sounds way more pleasant without tom hooper misunderstanding how music itself works and a two-bit talkshow host cracking a fat joke every forty seconds
“Give it to the fat cat, he’s got a monocle, I trust him” 😂
Lol
Sideways
Moments I'm happy with
2:11 to 2:14 this frickin Munkustrap smile hdjhjasbvjahsv
2:45 to 2:47 Frickin Mistoffelees is adorable fdksgfajnvdkj
2:57 to 3:00 his smile gives me life
3:12 to 3:18 Misto is just like DAD I'LL HELP
3:38 to 3:43 Make way for my father.
3:48 to 3:49 Misto bows to people he respects
3:51 Jennyanydots is so frickin happy
4:11 to 4:13 I swear it's adorable
"A drink at the Drones" is a reference to The Drones Club (where the rich but useless young men hang out) in P.G. Wodehouse's books. :)
You just gotta love Jenny's voice 😻
Ikr! I'm so sad this version isn't on Spotify, because she's honestly the best part in this entire song
Haha! Bombularia (I think that's her name) is calling him out for being fat
The difference in tone between the 2019 movie and this is jarring.
This is so much more charming then the movie version.
Amen
"OH LAWD HE COMIN!"
Okay, but has literally NO ONE noticed that if you look between jenny and bomba at 0:18 you can see plato lifting pounce on his back??
Its probalky so you could still see him behind the others. I've seen it in other musicals.
Musical Cats: nice, classy, funny, dignified, has game
Movie Cats: rude, greedy, egotistical, slightly talented
I know that James Corden is talented, but this is not a good role for him. He doesn’t have the voice for this song. His voice sounds too young and has too little vibrato.
The cast for the new movie.....is mostly terrible. I mean, Taylor Swift!? She can't even dance!
The cast is all huge celebrities to make us like it more but you can’t beat the original. Screw the new looks, stage makeup and costuming all the way💖
Natalie Vollmar He doesn't have the kind of huge presence Bustopher Jones has. you get the vibe that even if Bustopher was smaller, everyone would turn their head to see him when he walks into a room. you need a certain attitude for that.
James Corden, talented? 🤣😂🤣😂
@@rat7323 you'll be shocked to hear Taylor was literally one of the best parts of the movie
0:46 - 😂 That's the most fan-boyish I've ever seen Munkustrap, now that I pay closer attention to it. It's like a proud young lad saluting to a seasoned elder whom he looks up to.
all of bombalurina's expressions during this song are amazing.
