As a fan of the original Cats, let me just shed a little light on some history.
For all the people saying “why can’t they just animate it with actual cats, Aristocats style?” The reason is that T.S. Eliot was actually approached by Disney to acquire rights for an animated film, but he turned them down because a cartoon didn’t suit his vision for the characters, but ALW’s proposal did.
So if you, like me, are scarred by that awful awful trailer, go check out the 1998 Cats movie and cleanse your eyes from the horror they just released.
