y’all saying this is really bad and horrible when you haven’t seen the play or movie it’s actually really heart warming and everyone in it are very talented
For the amount of people who saw it. For the number of years in ran on Broadway, the West End and all over the world...…….that many people can't be wrong. I'll always love the stage show and I'm sure they will too. But to give credit to something the film did right......a lot of the soundtrack is awesome!!!!!!
The story goes that Eliot’s daughter (granddaughter?) couldn’t say “calico” it come out “jellicle” hence, his inspiration for the book of poems. I don’t think this play has any real point except to honor cats and their lives and just be fun, as is the book.
Ooooh, theres a book? Is that where people are getting the seemingly random information from? I was wondering how people could know things not said in the play like how the white cat is apparently in heat or that rum tum tugger and mr.mistoffiles are brothers? Is the name of the book the same as the play/movie?
I'm pretty sure it was 'dear little' that she was trying to say, and Pollicle comes from her trying to say 'poor little'. So Jellicle Cats and Pollicle Dogs are basically 'Dear Little' Cats and 'Poor Little' Dogs. (I also heard it was his goddaughter, but I'm not 100% sure about that one.)
@@Nu_Wen The book is called 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats' by T.S.Eliot. The relationships between the cats aren't specified in the book, it really just contains the poems the songs are based off of, but some of the relationships have been said by some of the original creators of the musical, like Victoria being the youngest cat on heat, Jemima being the youngest kitten, Munkustrap and Tugger being Old Deuteronomy's sons, etc.
@WildKamots At this point, they're all distantly related. There was an entire song and dance full of cats fawning over Tugger. Are you really saying they weren't his second cousins?
@WildKamots I've always viewed Musk and Tugger as brothers judging by pre-existing headcannons as well as their onscreen sibling energy, Misto, Alonzo and Victoria seem more like siblings, going by size, screen time and colours. At the end of the day, there is no true Canon for this. In the books there is no mentioning of it, in the musicals there is no mentioning of it, not even in the blasphemous movie adaptation. Just because Old Deut had 99 wives, doesn't mean they're all related. Cause if they are then so much of this is WEIRD.
The musical story is basically introducing several different cats that are part of their clan at one special night when they pick the cat most worthy to be reborn a new. The movie however takes that beautiful story and turns it into an acid trip.
So everyone knows Rum Tug Tugger has a think with dancing with his hips, but can we talk about Alonzo in this song. is he making a move on Victoria in front of Plato?
@khymera915 Bombalurina has high standards, she isn't an easy catch - she is the most desired Queen. Getting Tugger's attention is quite a task with his, let's put it democratically, flamboyant attitude. Of course Alonzo was off charts ;)
Honestly I don’t want to have anything to do with the movie but hating on the musical is unnecessary. It doesn’t have much of a plot and the characters are a little all over the place but the actors are all incredibly talented singers and dancers, their makeup department is amazing (seriously, everyone looks so beautiful!) and despite all the weird shit going on, it’s still a ridiculous amount of fun to watch/re-enact/sing along to. It doesn’t have to make sense to be fun.
It's not really supposed to have a plot, that's one of the reasons I love it. The nonsense, the energy, it's all so fun and holds up without a plot. I almost feel like a plot would cheapen it.
To me musicals don’t need much in the way of story, especially when it has talent behind it. Movies need to have more in the way of plot so Cats works great as a musical but not so great as a movie
I like watching for specific Jellicles in each song. For example, looking for Etcetera to see her being excited about _everything,_ or looking for Mistoffelees to see him being a theater gay.
I've seen it before live, and it seems like none of them were neutered or spayed, and the whole thing just leaves you with 27 emotions all at once once the show ends.
1:54 I love how they say they develop slowly then go to Skimbles staring at Mist 2:15 Jamima and Alonzo (?) in the back tho, what are they even doing 2:29 Mongo and Rumple are real fucking close woah 2:55 Rum is like "wyd?" at Mist
@@KimberlyFaith260 the fact that they are allowed at the ball in the first place means that they have matured enough to to... fully participate. They wouldn’t be allowed in otherwise. It’s implied that this is their first time to the ball, so that just means they are the youngest in relation to the other mature cats.
Can we all agree that misto and skimble are very clearly best friends. Both very charming and fancy cats(I thought of another word that wasn’t fancy but I can’t remember and I’m kinda mad) maybe it was elegant?
as he's staring down misto I can just imagine him lightly whisper 𝕸𝖊𝖔𝖜 then continues to sing, aaaaaaaaand gyrate. plus he knows misto has an amazing trick up his sleeve.
i like how when victoria emerges u can see jacob brent in the shadows after just having exited through the tunnel as misto its almost like misto is going "be careful out there!!"
is it just me, or are there people out there who have loved this musical since they can remember, and now the movie has ruined its reputation. I hate coming to watch my favorite musical videos and then scrolling down and seeing comments from 3 months ago saying horrible things about the musical, when no one even cared to make fun of it before the movie came out. the movie really messed things up for cats, I'm very disappointed, and t.s. Elliot probably will be too. and i dont blame you for feeling the way you do towards the movie, if i never knew about cats and i saw the preview, i would have the same reaction. They really messed up the integrity of the show.
Julia C Well I can calm your nerves. Sure I didn’t like the movie much, BUT that was my first time ever seeing Cats - had no idea it existed before hand. And I’m here thanks to the movie and I love the musical and the story! Coz I actually know what’s going on unlike most. So, at least the movie has done something good - bring some new people to enjoy the original musical.
@@suicidallizard9266 I know first hand the movie has turned off way more people from cats than it will ever draw in. The movie has made the idea of watching Cats 1998 a joke.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos Yeah that is true, but I’ve also seen lots of comments saying that they searched up the original and enjoyed it. Or well as original as you can get when not seeing the first one.
@@suicidallizard9266 Certain very inquisitive people will certainly seek out the 1998 version of Cats in order to see for themselves if it's as bad as the 2019 movie was. Those are the same kind of people who fact-check news stories themselves for accuracy. But you have to know that is a tiny minutiae of people. The vast majority will go by the reputation set forward by the most recent iteration. The 2019 film is the worst thing to happen to Cats since dogs.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos Well that and when there was a costume change to Tugger... that was scary... and I actually see a majority saying that they had searched up the old one and liked the old one... All I know is I blame the new cats movie for my unhealthy obsession with Cats.
According to the London Production, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger are brothers, including to be Old Deuteronomy's sons! This makes sense to Munkustrap being the second in charge and most protective of the cats, even of his own father! The lore is honestly the most FASCINATING thing of Cats! Here's my thoughts- This would've made a good 2d animated series, with each song dedicated to an episode, further extended lore such as the theory that Macavity is Old Deuteronomy's third son, making sense as to why he kidnaps him and causes mayhem to the cats. Plus, there is a SMALL similarity between him and Tugger. As a kid, I thought they were the same, making me think Tugger turns evil. Would also made the fight between Munkustrap and Macavity ten times intense if they were brothers! SORRY FOR RANT!! I love this show and lores and backstory to our imaginations is one of the best gifts this musical bestowed upon us!!
Macavity as an Old Deuteronomy sibling is a popular and fun theory. Some believe he wants to take over the Jellical tribe because he was the first born and sees it as his birthright. Personally, I like playing with the bloodline and came up with my favorite head canon: Munkustrap and Macavity (macavity was the first born) are from the same litter, but only Munkustrap is Old Deuteronomy's son, where Macavity is either Skimbleshanks and Old Gus' son. (If you didn't know, a female can be impregnated by multiple males at the same time. Meaning kittens from the same litter can have different daddies.) -thir mom is Jennyanydot. Tugger is a younger sibling that comes in when the other two are maybe 6 months to a year old. He is the only kitten of his litter and his mom is Grizabella. But because of her leaving/ being banished, old Deuteronomy will be raising him alone/ with help from Jenny and Munkustrap. This creates a really fun and chaotic relationship between the three. And creates an incredible amount of story potential ☆w☆
@@ChasehaWing oh my god i'm not the only one who headcanons old deut x grizabella! i like to think that munku is grizabellas, though, given that he's black, grey and white while tugger and macavity are both orangish light brownish.
I love that look that Dad gives to Misto when his son is tickling Old Deuteronomy and he peeks from around Dad's back, looking all cheeky and mischievious, and Dad was like "WHAT are you doing, my son?" lol
Wow this is the very best quote that has been said from Demeter ( Avea May) ... she has certainly got some -style within herself ... she is my best and beautiful CATS Character just like her sister Bombalurina (Rosemarie Ford ) ... I have always admire Demeter and Bombalurina's friendship and sisterhood ... Because , I have always loved Demeter and Bombalurina's singing duet together in Macavity The Mystery Cat ... It has always been amazing , excellent and very well done ... I give this one a 10/10 for their singing duet and 20/20 for their style , appearance and their charms ...

In the beginning like: VICTORIA BACKING OUT SLOWLY VICTORIA (gesturing because she’s deaf) Was that a big noise that everyone ran from? DEUTERONOMY (also gesturing) Yes, but it’s alright, it’s gone now. Macavity’s gone VICTORIA Are you serious? I’m scared now, man DEUTERONOMY Don’t panic VICTORIA *panics*
What is this if not live action? Cats wouldn't be Cats without the coreography n shit, which would not work with animated, more or less realistic cats. Not that I think the trailer to the movie looked 100 % okay. They should've eased up on the cgi and do more practical effects, like in the stage play. And not have Fat Amy cat in it. I just can't get over that cringy attempted humour part...
The girl dressed as Demeter in the photo at the end of the video is Zizi Strallen, niece to Bonnie Langford, the original London Rumpleteazer, daughter of Sandy Strallen, who played Admetus/Macavity in London from 1987 - 1989, and Cherida Langford, who played Victoria in London from 1986 - 1989 (also Bonnie Langford's sister), sister to Summer Strallen, swing covering for Cassandra, Electra, Etcetera, Jellylorum and Tantomile in London 2001 - 2002 and Cassandra in the UK Tour 2003, who played Demeter (as you can see in the picture) in the UK Tour 2014 and the London Palladium 2014, and is also the one who played Tantomile in the new CATS movie.

I hate coming to watch my favorite musical videos and then scrolling down and seeing comments from 3 months ago saying horrible things about the musical, when no one even cared to make fun of it before the movie came out. the movie really messed things up for cats, I'm very disappointed, and t.s. Elliot probably will be too. and i dont blame you for feeling the way you do towards the movie, if i never knew about cats and i saw the preview, i would have the same reaction. They really messed up the integrity of the show.
Julia C Well I can calm your nerves. Sure I didn’t like the movie much, BUT that was my first time ever seeing Cats - had no idea it existed before hand. And I’m here thanks to the movie and I love the musical and the story! Coz I actually know what’s going on unlike most. So, at least the movie has done something good - bring some new people to enjoy the original musical.
@@suicidallizard9266 I know first hand the movie has turned off way more people from cats than it will ever draw in. The movie has made the idea of watching Cats 1998 a joke.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos Yeah that is true, but I’ve also seen lots of comments saying that they searched up the original and enjoyed it. Or well as original as you can get when not seeing the first one.
@@suicidallizard9266 Certain very inquisitive people will certainly seek out the 1998 version of Cats in order to see for themselves if it's as bad as the 2019 movie was. Those are the same kind of people who fact-check news stories themselves for accuracy. But you have to know that is a tiny minutiae of people. The vast majority will go by the reputation set forward by the most recent iteration. The 2019 film is the worst thing to happen to Cats since dogs.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos Well that and when there was a costume change to Tugger... that was scary... and I actually see a majority saying that they had searched up the old one and liked the old one...
All I know is I blame the new cats movie for my unhealthy obsession with Cats.
0:15 I SWEAR THIS CHILD GIVES ME LIFE
Did anyone see Munkustrap's smile when he sees Victoria and Jemima dancing?
I just like misto's voice who agrees
Me I like it allot
If I get a Tuxedo, Calico or a Tabby cat
I’m naming it Jellicle
or a black cat
Alonzo is underrated
he really is
Agreed
According to the London Production, Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger are brothers, including to be Old Deuteronomy's sons! This makes sense to Munkustrap being the second in charge and most protective of the cats, even of his own father! The lore is honestly the most FASCINATING thing of Cats!
Here's my thoughts- This would've made a good 2d animated series, with each song dedicated to an episode, further extended lore such as the theory that Macavity is Old Deuteronomy's third son, making sense as to why he kidnaps him and causes mayhem to the cats. Plus, there is a SMALL similarity between him and Tugger. As a kid, I thought they were the same, making me think Tugger turns evil.
Would also made the fight between Munkustrap and Macavity ten times intense if they were brothers!
SORRY FOR RANT!! I love this show and lores and backstory to our imaginations is one of the best gifts this musical bestowed upon us!!
Macavity as an Old Deuteronomy sibling is a popular and fun theory. Some believe he wants to take over the Jellical tribe because he was the first born and sees it as his birthright.
Personally, I like playing with the bloodline and came up with my favorite head canon:
Munkustrap and Macavity (macavity was the first born) are from the same litter, but only Munkustrap is Old Deuteronomy's son, where Macavity is either Skimbleshanks and Old Gus' son.
(If you didn't know, a female can be impregnated by multiple males at the same time. Meaning kittens from the same litter can have different daddies.)
-thir mom is Jennyanydot.
Tugger is a younger sibling that comes in when the other two are maybe 6 months to a year old. He is the only kitten of his litter and his mom is Grizabella. But because of her leaving/ being banished, old Deuteronomy will be raising him alone/ with help from Jenny and Munkustrap.
This creates a really fun and chaotic relationship between the three. And creates an incredible amount of story potential ☆w☆
@@ChasehaWing oh my god i'm not the only one who headcanons old deut x grizabella! i like to think that munku is grizabellas, though, given that he's black, grey and white while tugger and macavity are both orangish light brownish.
@@wolfieisacat13
Actually Macavity is a ginger cat, but I totally see what you mean.
@@ChasehaWing hence the orangish, but yeah!
0:41 me trying to avoid my adult responsibilities
I love that look that Dad gives to Misto when his son is tickling Old Deuteronomy and he peeks from around Dad's back, looking all cheeky and mischievious, and Dad was like "WHAT are you doing, my son?" lol
the way that dude says "and bright" at 1:28, gives me seratonin
edit: i found out that that dudes name is pouncival
*s a m e*
Pouncival > All other chorus cats with the exception of Alonzo
He is the best
Wow this is the very best quote that has been said from Demeter ( Avea May) ... she has certainly got some -style within herself ... she is my best and beautiful CATS Character just like her sister Bombalurina (Rosemarie Ford ) ... I have always admire Demeter and Bombalurina's friendship and sisterhood ... Because , I have always loved Demeter and Bombalurina's singing duet together in Macavity The Mystery Cat ... It has always been amazing , excellent and very well done ...
I give this one a 10/10 for their singing duet and 20/20 for their style , appearance and their charms ...
Interesting. Where did you get that from?
Suddenly Dr. Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror has been fused with Rum Tum Tugger and I can’t unsee this 😳
Omg this is what I thought since I first saw him, it's the facial expressions and general attitude
Seems like he’s doing an impression of him smh
I think I read somewhere that John Partridge was trying to channel Tim Curry as a semi-Frankenfurter for the musical. XD
1:15 how I pull up to area 51
Imagine if the area 51 raid was just a bunch a normal dressed people with beers and such putting on the show
2:55 I'm dead. XD
I keep repeating that part XD
Look at MM and RTT
At 2:55
RTT: what are you doing misto
Misto: uh nothing ( blushing)
RTT: hello there
Misto: you-
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one, come all
The jellicle moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the jellicle ball
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats are rather small
Jellicle cats are merry and bright
And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul
Jellicle cats have cheerful faces
Jellicle cats have bright black eyes
We like to practice our airs and graces
And wait for the jellicle moon to rise
Jellicle cats develop slowly
Jellicle cats are not too big
Jellicle cats are roly poly
We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig
Until the jellicle moon appears
We make our toilette and take our repose
Jellicles wash behind their ears
Jellicles dry between their toes
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats are of moderate size
Jellicles jump like a jumping jack
Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes
We're quiet enough in the morning hours
We're quiet enough in the afternoon
Reserving our terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the jellicle moon
Jellicle cats are black and white
Jellicle cats (as we said) are small
If it happens to be a stormy night
We will practice a caper or two in the hall
If it happens the sun is shining bright
You would say we had nothing to do at all
We are resting and saving ourselves to be right
For the jellicle moon and the jellicle ball
Jellicle cats come out tonight
Jellicle cats come one, come all
The jellicle moon is shining bright
Jellicles come to the jellicle ball
Thank you so much.
this helps bc the link is broken
The dancers/actors are really good
Gotta say I like Cassandra's voice
I both love and hate how I'm starting to become familiar with which cat is called what by watching footage from this show 😂
Shh. Just except it. My freinds hate Cats, and even they think my ability to name them all is impressive. Its a cool talent.
@@ashlynnheller8400 True 👀
1:59 Alonzo and Jemima dancing gets weird. Also Tumblebrutus is my boy. When i first watched this i say him and was like yep hes my fav
I don’t know why, but I am all of a sudden fascinated by Cats.
*THIS* !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ *John* , *Jacob* and *Michael* are just everything to me! 😍😍😍😍
I couldn't agree more! 💙🐱
The Rum Tum Tugger is the smexiest cat I've ever seen
Great musical 🎶 and talented singers and dancers great performances and love this song 💜
In the beginning like:
VICTORIA BACKING OUT SLOWLY
VICTORIA (gesturing because she’s deaf)
Was that a big noise that everyone ran from?
DEUTERONOMY (also gesturing)
Yes, but it’s alright, it’s gone now. Macavity’s gone
VICTORIA
Are you serious? I’m scared now, man
DEUTERONOMY
Don’t panic
VICTORIA
*panics*
Guy who doesn't know what a Jellicle cat is: "jfc people I was just curious, i didn't want nightmares."
Yessss cats as intended not that live action mutant fetus of a movie
cats was intended to be a disturbing satanic fever dream?
ThoughtGaze yes
What is this if not live action? Cats wouldn't be Cats without the coreography n shit, which would not work with animated, more or less realistic cats.
Not that I think the trailer to the movie looked 100 % okay. They should've eased up on the cgi and do more practical effects, like in the stage play. And not have Fat Amy cat in it. I just can't get over that cringy attempted humour part...
Omg I love love love the musical. Saw this live when I was younger ❤️
Same
Old Deuteronomy is Snorlax in cat form.
He also kind of reminds me of Totoro for some strange reason
@@garnetk1200 FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS THIS.
0:52 It's like a grandfather beckoning to his two granddaughters
0:06 it's the cat God
No just the leader of the tribe
Yeeee
At 2:29 Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are doing something they shouldn't for being brother and sister
I agree
+Carmen Leroy It was never confirmed that they are siblings....
are they siblings?
My cat tried to have sex with her father so...
+Epsonthe Giraffe actually check the cats website go mungogerrie and rumpleteaser it says that they r twins
My favorite voices are Tugger, Stoffeles, Alonzo, and that one cat that looks like Alonzo but has a brown left eye
Who's stoffeles
Emily Sanseverino Mistoffelees, probably
Pouncival.
That's pouncival
lol, TH-cam recommending this to distract us from the disaster that the cat movie was
The Voice of Alonzo ...wow
1:39
Skimble: What is it now Tumblebrutus??!!
Tumblebrutus: Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... (really?!)
Is a bil-bailey?
2:47 mr.mistofelles
Everything in the musical is epic
While the movie is epicn’t
the fur in the costumes its incredible waaay better than the cgi movie effect
The girl dressed as Demeter in the photo at the end of the video is Zizi Strallen, niece to Bonnie Langford, the original London Rumpleteazer, daughter of Sandy Strallen, who played Admetus/Macavity in London from 1987 - 1989, and Cherida Langford, who played Victoria in London from 1986 - 1989 (also Bonnie Langford's sister), sister to Summer Strallen, swing covering for Cassandra, Electra, Etcetera, Jellylorum and Tantomile in London 2001 - 2002 and Cassandra in the UK Tour 2003, who played Demeter (as you can see in the picture) in the UK Tour 2014 and the London Palladium 2014, and is also the one who played Tantomile in the new CATS movie.
