Despite the criticism, I absolutely love this performance, every little detail, every move. Some of the movements, often made fun and interpreted as diabolic are unique and cat alike.
I love the tail movements. From 4:07 to 4:40 when they are listening the different kinds of cats I can finally understand what they are saying without needing subtitles.
@@kimberly9864 i have seen the original movie as well as seeing the live musical. If you don’t really compare the 2 and see them as separate then they are both good.
@@adrianne7882my problem is the misunderstood the core plot of Cats. Victoria is not really anyone special in the musical nor is there a main character but in the film Victoria is the main character and it takes away more than it afds
This is not as bad as most of the other songs in the movie. Is it great? No. Would I listen to it over and over again? Probably not. But it's not as nightmarish as most of the other songs in the movie.
It's not the best performance and does have some issues, but yeah, it's honestly not that bad. I probably won't ever go seeking it out over the stage versions, but I wouldn't mind listening to it again, which is more than I can say for most of the songs in this movie.
they probably spent the most time on this one if it was the first to be choreographed and shot, then realised how long the rest of the musical numbers will take and rushed them. Not that it would've improved them a huge amount
I don't fully understand it but I can't get these songs out of my head. The cgi like of creeps me out but the movement is AMAZING and is truly CAT LIKE.
From this bit, my favorite part is: 04:17 - Romantical cats (Mr. Mistoffelees shows a heart on the right side of his chest) 04:19 - Pedantical cats (Cassandra moves his hand to the correct side, to the left)
2:51 I like that they kept the false notes which remind us these are cats howling at night, not professional singers in cat form (in the story at least).
Well… this and the Skimbleshanks are the only good ones. And mostly because of the music itself: it wasn’t ruined by the “improvisation” of the actors and the producers
The strangest thing about all the CGI is that there were already nearly 40 years of stage costumes to choose from that looked way better than whatever this was supposed to be.
the musical was based off of ts elliot’s poetry: old possum’s book of practical cats. they were originally supposed to be called “dear little cats,” but his niece (i think) pronounced it like “jellicle cats” so he changed it to that. jellicle cats are not just this tribe, all cats are jellicles (and all dogs are pollicles)
Creeepy as F! Some human/ cat hybrid. I would have been much better if they 'computerized' actual cats. The acting ... ehhh? This is what happens when DEI takes a major role in creativity
So, practically, the only huge drawback of this movie is the horribly awkward design of the characters: too human to be cats, too much fur to look like humans. If you're a child these aparitions will give you nightmares, if you're an adult you'll imediately think of X rated content. I guess some like furries, but those of us who don't, can't help but feel awkward watching this. This stupid directorial decision is responsible for bringing this movie down. So many dedicated people and so much talent wasted... Such a pity
I love the movie . But I don’t like some of the changes they did. Like isn’t the character of Deuteronomy played by a man . And the song beautiful ghost . Wasn’t in the old musical cats movie ? And in the old musical cats movie . Didn’t they have songs that they missed in the old movie and a black cat character.
The actors did what they could.
Actors definitely worked hard for this
@@francescasingh3109 yes they rlly did, all i blame are the producers and directors, they really couldnt stay faithful to the story
Ive been severly depressed for 4 months now, this is the first thing that brought me real joy, thank you.
I’m glad they chose to emphasize the foot shuffling sound effect. It really makes you realize that these are big, awkward cat people, flopping around.
This is so weird that whenever my toddler won’t stop crying I turn it on and he just stares in confusion 😂😂😂
My bf did not expect me to sing the whole opening number. Thank You Andrew Lloyd Weber..
1:40 the cgi here is jarring to me it makes me feel like I've never seen a jump before
My favorite one in this song is probably the one that yells “aaand magical cats!”
Mistoffelees is the best part in the whole movie. He's a sweetie
Despite the criticism, I absolutely love this performance, every little detail, every move. Some of the movements, often made fun and interpreted as diabolic are unique and cat alike.
I feel like you should watch the original stage musical. At least in my opinion it holds much more magic than this version
@@Yakal001 it's totally different for sure. I went to Hamburg a while back and liked it. This is a movie. Very different experience
@@s.e.3892 well, at least this faith adaptation serves as a Halloween movie of worthy uncanniness, at least with for the most part I suppose
there are some really cool elements to this movie version. it’s really unfortunate that it turned out the way it did
If they don't give the celebrity singers too much liberty and gets better CGI maybe.
So are we just going to ignore Mungojerrie getting ready to throw that brick through a shop window? Yes? Fair enough.
It Mungojerrie tho. What do you expect 😂
Good observation, I didn’t notice lol😂
"fanatical cats!"
I love the tail movements. From 4:07 to 4:40 when they are listening the different kinds of cats I can finally understand what they are saying without needing subtitles.
i love this stupid, ugly, absurd film with my whole entire heart, it is such nonsensical garbage and i wouldn't have it any other way. My Beloved
I love the film as well. I don’t think it deserves the hate it gets.
have u ever seen the actual musical film cause if not GEEETTTONNN IT LAD

I so agree😂
3:42 Idris speaks for the audience.

Skimbleshanks and Bustopher Jones were legit better than the musical. But the rest was a legit downgrade.

I put this song on my tv while snuggling my cat and she ran away.
Justified
Same

Yeah they did a few things extremely well, and I get the director's vision, it's just so wrong in so many other places...
2:53 - 2:57 That, my friends, is why the great T.S. Eliot created Macavity
2:51 I like that they kept the false notes which remind us these are cats howling at night, not professional singers in cat form (in the story at least).
This should have been an animated movie instead of... this. I honestly like the musical arrangement in this version a lot.
Well their were attempts like in the 90s were Albian released concept art.
why does it turn into a rave halfway in
Well… this and the Skimbleshanks are the only good ones. And mostly because of the music itself: it wasn’t ruined by the “improvisation” of the actors and the producers
@ChristineAndRaoulOnly well, you have the right to think so.
@ChristineAndRaoulOnly jesus, chill…
@ChristineAndRaoulOnly i can have my own opinion, don’t you think? and i was only talking about the song, not the whole movie
@ChristineAndRaoulOnly thank you very much
It's beautiful. I love it
The CGI is great.
it’s fine nobody’s perfect
Loved it!!! The entire movie!
… why?
Have you ever seen the actual show on a stage?
Me too
@@maltesers1238why do you care?
0:04
Munkustrap: Are you blind when you're born?
best musical opening number ever put to film i fear..
Yeah the original was a ballet with song. The movie was uncanny valley with song.
2024 anyone? 👇
if Ilumination had made the animated film it would be fine recycling sing things
Old version is WAY better
there is no old movie version this an the movie adaption
Too real
I think them being as cats is like how when people are just like the Avatar natives.
(Jellicol Cats) That Very Cool Cats;
It looks like 1,000,000 Feet Giant City 🖤
K, I kinda like the “bell” part
Nightmare fuel.
What the he'll are they singing about.
If it weren't for the Fugly CGI I would have deemed this better than the muscial
Why does it turn into CATS: The Rave at 2:20? LMAO
Never watched this movie just watched this song. I'm not well. I'm upset
Yeah I hate the way they jump
Weird Awkward dance. But I always loved this song, so I'm satisfied with the film version.
The strangest thing about all the CGI is that there were already nearly 40 years of stage costumes to choose from that looked way better than whatever this was supposed to be.
My sister thought mr mistoffalies was tom holland 😢
1:07 lmao 😂
They distroyed the original song
Did they?
I guess they didn't. But they didn't reproduce that unique and moving magic either.
The songs are the only good thing in this movie
@@ursapolargalacticarpz Ursa, até as música tão uma bosta, principalmente a do Tugger, a única música boa é a do Skimble nesse filme
Just imagine watching this while you're high.
😮Mega fan de cats😊j'adore la chanson avec victoria et mistoffelees 😊😊😊sixième chanson préférée 😊
Cats have their muscles and bones connected up the opposite way to ours. So we’re not as flexible as them 😢
The next evolution of Humanity: half-feline, half-human
I want to be cat meow! 😻
Hohohohoho!
4:20 Not terrifying human hybrid cats...
Pues a mí me encantó la película
Fun fact: cat can actually sense if a storm is coming!
Ryan George brought me here. And now I'm leaving.
I didn’t like the movie but i love this performance…
Hermoso todo
hi, it's for school purposes, who's the first man sung? i don't know his name, pls help. THANKS!!
The character's name is Munkustrap, and he is played by Robert Fairchild.
Ryan George brought me here
4:30 political correct cats ✨💁🏿♀️😺✨
They couldn’t have done a better job at ruining this
Hear the problem why set in london? In the original it was a junkyard.
this is sooooo scary 🤣🤣🤣
oh Mr mistoffelees, he is so stupid 😂
ugh this movie is awful but this song is so catchy one of my favorite songs from the play
What is a Jellicle cat?
It’s the name of their little cat colony.
It's the name of the cat cult.
the musical was based off of ts elliot’s poetry: old possum’s book of practical cats. they were originally supposed to be called “dear little cats,” but his niece (i think) pronounced it like “jellicle cats” so he changed it to that. jellicle cats are not just this tribe, all cats are jellicles (and all dogs are pollicles)
jelly
I mean... its not that bad...
but imagine if it was animated in hand drawn instead of motion capture
Are the haters broadway purists?
What a monstrosity
Npt bad i guess, but let's be honest. The atage version is FAR superior
Some of you are just disliking it because Other people tell you its bad. SHEEP.
This was actually well done and fun. Go mow your lawns grumps
Triggered much?
nah this is dogwater
I dislike this because I know the original
@TheCartoonBeast I agree and disagree
Like the original.
This is too messy
Jellicles can’t 💀
😂😂😂
Cuanto les pagaron?😨
sooo bad😅

Remarkably not nearly as bad as the other songs from this atrocity of a movie
...I don't like this...
сссхххххххххррррррр
Compared to the original, this is bloody horrible! 😑
This is a horror movie
This movie is an argument for Hollywood to stop making movies. 😂
More like an argument for Tom Hooper to never direct another musical
