Recently, a bunch of model sheets for Amblimation's unmade Cats movie were uncovered by @eye-may. I recently had the pleasure of looking at them, and wanted to show you some of my favorites:
Grizabella looks pretty much exactly how I expected her to look. I don't really have any qualms about this one.
This version of Macavity is the one that really stood out the most to me. I like the simplicity.
Old Deuteronomy, like Grizabella, looks pretty much how I expected him to look. I don't really have any complaints about this one.
Oddly enough, I think this image of Demeter is the one I like best. Also, judging by the fact that all the images of Demeter we get here have no stripes, I think they were going to combine her and Victoria's characters.
These are supposed to be Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Reportedly, Steven Spielberg wanted them to be the protagonists of the movie, and it shows here.
I like this version of Rum Tum Tugger the best, since I feel it best captures his raw energy.
On the other hand, I do like the idea of Rum Tum Tugger having a fanboy!
Out of all the Mistoffelees designs on these model sheets, I liked this one best, since it looks the least silly out of all of them. Mr. Mistoffelees is not supposed to be a silly character.
Gus the Theatre Cat looks just perfect here!
I'm not sure how they could include Growltiger in this movie; after all, he isn't actually a living character. Maybe a flashback?
