    Yeah I know. That's why I get angry when people talk about how an animated film should've been 2D instead of 3D as if computer effects are just easy and full of typing rather actual artists like 2D animators.

    I feel sorry for the artists that dealt with the director's mistreatment. They deserved much better than this. As for that Amblimation version of "Cats," I don't know how well it would've turned out, but I'd definitely take that over this uncanny live-action/CGI hybrid. And hey, maybe Tiger from "An American Tail" could've had a cameo.

    The Amblimation version would probably have been VERY different from the original musical, probably a very pragmatic adaptation, and would have bombed at the box office and reviews would have been bad, especially those from the fans of the original musical. Nowadays we would consider it a cult classic and its reputation would probably become better after this one would have come out. (This theory derives by the fact that Cats at the time Amblin got the rights was still in its prime and had a very big fandom, plus many tv shows and movies made jokes at its expenses)

    The whole point of making a CGI movie adaptation is to get around the limitations of the stage show. On the stage, the people in cat costumes are symbolic of actual cats. The characters are not supposed to be human-shaped cats! They look like that in the musical because that is how you portray animals on stage! What is the point of making them big furry humans with CGI when you could actually make them look like cats!? (Perhaps it has to do with all the celebrity voices who wouldn't be recognizable without their faces...)

    Honestly, looking into the concept of Cats done by Amblimation. Honestly, it would have look way better as a animated film than live action film. It didn't need to be live action and it should stick into animation. I truly love the concept art and character design and character animation on the cat characters reminds me a cross between Disney's AristoCats and Don Bluth's The Secret of Nimh. Cats is one prime example why not everything has to be live action and shouldn't been animated. For example, the Disney live action remakes like The Lion King remake, Aladdin remake, Dumbo remake, Beauty and the Beast remake, Your Name remake, and worse case Alvin and the Chipmunks, Smurfs, Yogi Bear, Peter Rabbit and the upcoming Clifford and the Big Red Dog movie.

The rest on your list well.....again a lot of things are better done animated and it's better if it stays that way and if they want to do a remake or a reboot they should re-animate it but they won't.....so stuff like The Lion King would make the animals look way to realistic and they look soulless. Also the the first movie for The Smurfs was absolutely terrible BUT the second one was actually good. At least they weren't in modern times. Lol

    CONTROVERSIAL TAKE COMING: I hope Tom Hooper finds a way to redeem himself after this film. I think he's a exceptional talent and I can see where he was at least trying. I think with the whole news about him during post-production came from him not being the most tech-savvy of people and especially given the first trailer's release, the amount pressure placed on him to meet audiences demands and reach the Holiday deadline Universal was persisting on might have taken a toll on him; I mean he literally wrapped the film up 36 hours before the premiere. I understand it's not a excuse to be condescending towards employees, but I think he never meant to come off that way, perfectionism and stress don't go hand in hand, after all. What I hope for is that people don’t hold "Cats" against Tom to the point that he can’t grow as both a director and a person. He's totally far from the scum of entertainment (ie. Bryan Singer, Brett Ratner, Harvey Weinstien, John Kricfalusi) and even mentioned about doing a smaller and less spectacle-heavy project post-Cats (after this whole pandemic dies down); which I think is the right move for him, personally speaking. From what I've seen and heard about Tom is that he's a perfectionist, yet a very modest guy. He's always put's his cast and crew first, displays great amount professionalism on set, and even if he comes of as stern, it mostly due to wanting everybody to give it their all; Not to mention the respectfulness he presents in interviews and fan-encounters and the amount of care he has for certain social issues. Sure, he may have been a little unjust to the VFX department, but it's nothing like the amount of shit Weinstien, Ratner, Kricfalusi, and Singer pull that's beyond redemption. (ie. physically threatening others, not showing up on set, grooming women/minors into sexual relationships); again we can't hold this fiasco against Tom so much so that we're willing to believe he won't learn anything from his missteps, FILMMAKERS ARE PEOPLE, NOT HACKS. I will end this with a quote from Joaquin Phoenix: " We’re at our best is when we support each other. Not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes but when we help each other to grow, when we educate each other, when we guide each other toward redemption: That is the best of humanity.” @ElectricDragon505

    You could all do with watching Sideway's music theory type videos on this and Les Mis... Heck even Nostalgia Critic tore into Les Mis with valid points about the singing which Sideways explained more on. You're all focusing on the visuals when you should be listening to and looking at the music. Hooper does this weird thing of letting the actors do what they want on set, they sing whatever pitch they want with whatever timing they want. It sounds good in theory, letting the actors express themselves as they're supposed to do, but it never sounds right and it's a nightmare for an entire orchestra being forced to change up the speed and pitch with every whim the actors have. Even if he does respect his actors and crew it certainly didnt extend to 'lesser' members like musicians and the visual effects people since that quote mentioned in this video came from the special effects crew who said they werent even allowed to talk in conferences and he constantly talked to them like they were garbage. Just because he doesnt groom people or physically abuse them (as far as we know) it doesnt make verbal abuse okay or him a saint. Also I dont just hold Cats against him, I also hold the insanity he inflicted on Les Mis and every shallow Oscar grab against him too. But honestly the music is the worst thing, with Cats they were singing and dancing to a random mix of recorded music, recorded singing, and very rarely a beat. That's why if you watch it they dont move in time at all since they're listening to all sorts of different things that cut in and out. You can actually see when what they're listening to changes. The only song that was kept to a beat was the railway one due to the tapping, that's the only song that's on time and it shows. Plus the entire point and heart of the original show was torn out, (yes there was a story in the subtext) again it's explained really well in Sideway's video. Long story short looking at his actions and not his words he seems like a pretentious twat who thinks he's Gods gift to musicals when he doesnt have a clue. This, the Kings Speech and Les Mis were all just Oscar fodder, they hit the points for that (or at least tried) and that was all. They arent pushing any boundaries and are barely art, unless you count paint by numbers, even then he's not sticking to the needed lines... Besides, Les Mis fans are so rabid about the franchise from my experience you could stick a cat yowling in a box, slap a label with Les Mis on the side and they'd love it automatically... I really dont get that one...

    Very fascinating look into the production of the 2019 film adaptation. From what you previously shared about the behind the scenes story in a few episodes of your podcast, AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast of how director Tom Hooper treated the cast and special effect artist, it really shows he was the wrong person to direct the movie. And because of how the stories of how harsh he was during production is out to the public and the reception of the final film, it shows his reputation is now ruined and it looks like this film will most likely be the last movie based on a Broadway musical he'll ever direct. One thing that has got me worried with the reputation of both Tom Hooper and the film is that it might drastically affect his first musical film adaptation Les Miserables, where people and critics loved it back when it was released 8 years ago, but might change their minds about it and hate it as much as the 2019 Cats due to Tom Hooper's reputation being ruined.

    The thing about the cgi is... TECHNICALLY, it looks great for a lot of the 'finished' version of the movie. Like, the fur looks very real, and the lighting is fantastic especially considering all the vibrant multi-colored lighting on the sets. But the human faces and the unfinished bits and the glitches and the WEIRD stuff the vfx artists were forced to make the characters do are SO DISTRACTING that you don't notice that the cgi is often, technically, actually pretty impressive
