This is more a nitpick but i cant get over it as its not a CGI issue

In the McCavity song they say McCaviry is a ginger cat

Idris Elba's McCavity is black and brown

Why the gently caress did they keep that lyric the same it wouldve taken a secons to fix and instead its doing my head in

Is the hot air balloon for death because if all the cats wanted to die why was McCavity so threatening if death is what they sought? I actually have no idea what a jellicle is or what the jellicle prize is.

It's to reborn as new kind of cat not just to die. Like you can change your brand. The prize is actually that god successfully deletes your entire social media presence

So all the cats are filled with self loathing and want a new identity and the tap dance cat hates his life?

Galaxy beain takes that the really important thing about Cats is the characters and plot.

I still have no idea what the name of the main narrator cat was and he was in like 80% of the film. Hell i thought he was meant to be Victoria's love interest but about two thirds of the way through he just mostly stops existing.

I'm just saying there's a reason it took almost 40 years to get an adaptation of this massive multi-billion-dollar international sensation, why it was considered such an impossibility that the mere notion has been a joke for about as long, and why the eventual result is being treated like a dare to come up with the most evocative way to describe how goddamn strange it is.

And that reason is that it's actually not particularly easy to hammer this formless revue of ballet and nonsense songs into a three-act structure with a meaningful plot.

That and its people dressed as flamboyant cats.

I always forget that the stage play was such a huge cultural force for a while. It's been a punchline for my entire life but yeah I guess in its heyday it was basically mega-Hamilton.

I am not looking forward to the adaptations of Hamilton where ill be screaming at the screens that he was an imperialistic fucker with stupid loving ideas that only got so far because Washington was dense as rocks, that he was lucky Jefferson and Adams didnt neck him, and Aaron Burr did us all a favour.

gently caress Hamilton.

To be fair, they were getting poo poo on by the two worst things about the movie: Wilson and Corden.

yes but then theres this paragraph

This is not the first time the community has spoken out in defense of its own. A month ago, prominent VFX artists from films like the live-action �Lion King� and �The Jungle Book� defended the �Cats� team, saying their work was visionary � but filmmakers like director Tom Hooper are responsible for ensuring an audience buys the aesthetic world of a film. And, of course, the story.

Hooper would not understand the subversion of having minorities play the Founding Fathers and would insist on casting white men in all the roles.

The other subversion being that Alexander Hamilton was an imperialist jackfuck who should have been shot by Burr more.

Webber didn�t soften the blow for Hooper in a recent interview with The Sunday Times, where he said �the whole thing was ridiculous�. This coming from the man who wrote the original musical.

�The problem with the film was that Tom Hooper decided, as he had with Les Mis, that he didn�t want anybody involved in it who was involved in the original show,� Webber said.

While Hooper hasn�t directly addressed any claims, he gave an insight into his mindset in a December interview prior to the film�s official opening day that he was �tired� and had been working �seven days a week since August�.

Yeah Corden has a pretty bad rep. I'm not sure if Rebel Wilson has any problems BTS, it may just be that there's one character she can play and it doesn't really fit Jenny Anydots (who's supposed to be actually good at what she does.)

The BTS part i learned was that her song is not a solo but a three person chorus and that makes so much more loving sense. Imagine if Skimbleshanks was a solo.

I don’t dislike Taylor Swift but I gotta vote against Macavity being one of the better songs because she just cannot do sultry. I actually like the cast’s version of Mr. Mistoffelees a lot though, that’s probably second behind MY BOY SKIMBLESHANKS

I have hated Hooper ever since The King’s Speech won Best Picture over The Social Network and I view this film as the universe righting itself, just a little.

I to this day think The Kings Speech is an excellent film and if nothing else Geoffrey Rush not getting an oscar for it was a huge fuckup. However its a film where its direction is far and away the least important part of it and Hooper has spent the rest of his career proving that he just got lucky by landing David Seidler's screenplay and outstanding actors.
