Awesome! I love how some parts are fully embracing the horror that is Cats (2019) and others are focused on making it into something that looks cool and good.
@@extrapathos Counterpoint, those four seconds were presumably done entirely by one person, probably in their spare time. Disney has an effectively infinite supply of money and access to any animator(s) in the world that they ask for. I think it's a fair assumption that if they had wanted a feature-length movie that looked like that, it could have been done.
As a avid Cats fan who absolutely despises Cats 2019 this was wonderful, I love the person who drew the lads in the og designs, the gang was back together
I haven't watched the movie but I listened to a review from someone that took theatre and participated in a play back in their school. The idea of cats was just amazing and I don't even wanna watch the movie out of fear that it'll butcher the original concept for me.
I without a single doubt, would watch this entire movie multiple times in a row, if it were animated by all these talented people and then some. Amazing stuff by everyone!!!
Fun fact: a hand-drawn animated adaptation was originally going to be released in the 1990s under Amblimation. But due to the poor box-office performances of We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story and Balto, the film was scrapped and the studio shut down in 1997, eventually becoming DreamWorks Animation. There's a ton of concept art for this film on Google. Could've been something worthwhile.
1:05 This is what Mcavity should have looked like. His description was even in his song. Instead we got a buch of film producers forgetting to turn their racism filters off.
I love this.. so much. I love how half of the animators were having fun and making fun of CATS, while the other half was taking this actually pretty seriously and have some really beautiful animation.
Honestly, a 2D animated or a fully animated 3D version of this would at least make it less painful. It wouldn't save to movie, but it would be way easier to watch.
I really think the Warrior Cats fandom could’ve made a map of the entirety of Cats and it would have been better than both the stage show and the movie
Lord Felidae Hey, when the animation part of the fandom has been around for 14 years, those animators are specialized in drawing dramatic battle kitties!
The mix of the joke animations mocking it and the serious animations is so well done and such a weird juxtaposition that you dont knks what's coming next. My personal favorites were at 0:27 , 1:011:22 and 1:26 all of them were well done and some of the mocking ones made me laugh but I like the serious adaptations better:)

I wish the movie was re-made by the artists at 1:26 amazing emotion and movement there, there were other good ones too and the funny joke ones were entertaining but that bit there is the shining star imo edit senna church is the one I mean, their artwork is so nice im inspired
Some of the parts where people actually took it seriously to reanimate it with actual cats or properly making cat humanoids that aren't nightmares were actually really good.
The original is the theatre production(1981) with a cinematic remake(1998). Both are elegant and beautiful; and are better than this video. But this video is a million times better than the 2019 CGI remake. Nothing will change my mind.
@@dragletsofmakara1120 I don’t think they meant this 4 minute video is better than the musical, I think they meant it’s better than the other trailer but ok
hot damn, that shot at 1:26 that is just breathtaking, thats how the whole damn movie should have looked. whoever did that part needs to get hired by somebody
What a cry and shame it is to not have an animated Cats musical. I mean take the climax of Memory for example (@ 1:26). This one clip represents everything that could’ve been done for this story. Like my eyes were getting teary from this clip. But of course we had to get the nightmare fuel of a disaster.
Yooo this is so good??? Like, even the jokey scenes were really well animated and the serious scenes??? _HOLY FLIP,_ they were gorgeous! Honestly, this is how the movie should have looked.
I like how a majority of them are either making fun of the original, or just make the designs so much better. They make them look like walking cats, not humans dressed up as cats lol.
This is some how going to be less cursed than the atcual movie, and that's pretty impression given how cursed animations on youtube can get, I am very excited for this
There's a lot of talent in this one. But my personel favorite is anything done by Senna Church - if the full movie was animated in her style, I'd definitely watch that.
1. Cats should have been animated, and the characters be actual dancing cats without any human faces. 2. I completely lost it at 1:40. Whoever animated that part is a comedy genius. I had to watch it about six times and in slow motion! 😂
SO HAPPY to have been a part of this!! Thank you so much mods and everyone who worked on it!!!!!!! WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoy the different styles and I think most of them would have been better for the movie adaptation, as they look more like cats/furries and less like naked humans or just have a certain appeal to them ( 0:160:341:011:221:261:352:10 ) Everyone did an amazing job, no matter if they made fun of the original (those were hilarious by the way) or not, I think this is living proof that Cats should have been 2D animated and not CGI. Great work everyone
i love how half of it is making fun of the original and the other half is legitimately fantastic animation that i'd watch on the big screen
Same here!
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Original as in 2019 edition, not 1998 original
I need this so badly
The best way to make fun of something is to do the same thing but better in every sense
Proof cats should have been 2d animated.
Yes!
True
@@klaramcmenamin4754 cool to know, i wonder what happened though.
@@therobomeep6930 not sure, but it fell through. And elliot banned Disney from touching CATS

Yes
how about a hand drawn animation test based faithfully on grizabella´s previous look from amblimation?
Oh how I wish they made animated movie of cats in that style.
Awesome! I love how some parts are fully embracing the horror that is Cats (2019) and others are focused on making it into something that looks cool and good.

Still better than the actual product no matter what lol, even if they’re ironically embracing the horror show look of the original

The reason it flopped is because it didn't look like this. That 4 seconds of animation has more soul than anything Disney had done in the last decade.

1:26 This right here convinced me the Cats movie would’ve been better if it’d been animated
Oh, I just realized the brilliance of the gorilla statue at 2:07. Because a lion statue for a cat is like a gorilla statue for a human!
When I saw this scene I knew that that animators didn't give a sh*t anymore.

1:26 why couldn’t the film be this?
Yes and give a story and it will amizing
@@Chad_Darwin A strange mix of laziness and arrogance
Because Andrew Lloyd better doesn’t want real cats because the story is about humanity and cats
So we need to see them as humans as well as cats because cats deals with abusive relationships, cults and religion

every animation style here is worthy of a whole movie. especially 2:07
The best part
I cackled. That took me off guard.
Honestly, a 2D animated or a fully animated 3D version of this would at least make it less painful. It wouldn't save to movie, but it would be way easier to watch.
Spielberg pitched a 2D animated version back in the 90’s that was meant to be set during WW2
Yea, I really don't get why they made a 'live action' movie where they had to CGI 90% of it. At that point, just animate it for fcks sake 🙄
I really think the Warrior Cats fandom could’ve made a map of the entirety of Cats and it would have been better than both the stage show and the movie
This right here....facts
I would genuinely rather watch that than the actual movie
Not just warrior cats- every single fandom’s animators are pretty talented

Everyone talking about 1:26 ( which is gorgeous btw)
But I’m in love with 1:35 , the character designs, the framing, just *chefs kiss*
If I remember correctly, both those moments were by the same animator.
0:29 is amazing too. As well as the scene right after it. All of the parts were great though.
This is a mix between chaotic and beautiful and all together its just very really good
Just like the musical cats itself
1:25 I HAD CHILLS! Props to whoever animated that bit.
I really wish this movie had looked like 1:25 - 1:30, I feel like an animated style like that would’ve fit a lot better than cgi
1:20 with the cat turning into squares fucking killed me.
i have ascended
Same 😔
1:23 is amazing!
I love how half of the animators took this seriously, and the other half just... made a competition out of who could animate the weirdest thing
Jesus, so many people snapped on this, but 1:26 blew me AWAY
And 1:35
what if slowly over time they did MAPs of every clip of the movie?
or even better the 1998 musical version
Ma’am where’s the Kickstarter?
Um yes please I'll pay so much money for that to happen please
Make clips, compile them, BAM! A good adaptation!
This needs to happen
1:48 !! If you're gonna make it into a live action movie with anthro cats, this is how it should have been done! Just add clothes!

The fact thaf it wasent animated in the first place is a crime
Or choreographed, with costuming instead of cgi. You can do amazing things with costumes.
