I never thought I would ever see the furry version of Academy Award winner Dame Judi Dench but here we are.

WHAT THE FUCK

I was scarred as a child with TV commercials for the Broadway show. Now I'm going to be haunted by this crime against nature.

Fuck on second thought thr most disturbing thing is like half the known actors are easily recognaziable and the other half could be anyone like why in the everlovin fuck is Taylor Swift like that and McKellen is like him with cat ears

Looks exactly as horrifying as I expected all along.

DIGITAL FUR TECHNOLOGY!

This will be a truly unique event. I can't wait.

It looks like it'll be entertaining just for the visual style. I love the scale and the commitment to humanoid cats. Will grit my teeth through Taylor for it.

Eagerly rushing to see what this monstrosity looks like without seeing any pictures beforehand:



I was not let down.

Fuck me it was horrific and that was before I saw James fucking Corden in the credits.

Need to bleach my eyes.

Because there's a noticeable suspension of disbelief seeing actors wearing makeup and costumes that look like clothing on a stage compared to....whatever this movie is trying to accomplish.

Oh god, I wonder how the West End and Broadway actors are feeling about all of this? I mean...is this going to be Gerad Butler levels of Phantom? I mean at least the cast can sing, but why are they talking? At least the sunburn on Butler didn't look uncanny valley; bad, but not uncanny.

Oh.......

People always say their jaw hit the floor, and I always thought that was just exaggerating. My God my mouth was 2 feet from the ground, WTF WAS THAT!

Reminder that this comes out the same day as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Genuinely not sure which one will win out.

Uncanny valley wins again. Everyone's face just looks like it's been motion tracked onto a stand in but the scale/positioning is off by a few mm. Really distracting.

I've heard of Cats before but besides it being on Broadway for a long time, I know nothing about it. And this trailer doesn't help at all. I'm noping out of this one

Wait...Tom Hooper directed Les Mis, right? Does that mean that...

A. Talented singers are not going to be allowed to belt the songs?
B. Does this mean we're going to have the camera right up in the mouths of some of the singers?

Because christ I remember having nightmares after Les Mis with the way the people were singing and how the camera kept right up in their faces so much that I swear I could probably see their tonsils.

I mean it's that weird Broadway musical where twits in leotards sing about...something or other for four hours and then everyone leaves confused and uncertain if any "Cats" showed up:

latest


If there's one film that probably required the Lion King CG treatment, it was this one. Imagine hyperrealistic house cats dancing and singing with the voice of Idris Elba and Taylor Swift.
