The new trailer for Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Cats has arrived, and it’s even more unsettling than the initial teaser. We don’t want to exaggerate, but it feels like a manifestation of the darkest nightmares—those hidden fears you wish would vanish. Hooper has seemingly taken those fears, dressed them in full-body cat costumes, and created a feature film around them. But fear not; the internet is here with clever commentary to balance the CGI madness that awaits.
If you missed it, the first trailer for this live-action version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic was released back in July. Eager fans were drawn in by memories of the beloved Broadway show or perhaps the star-studded cast, which includes the likes of Sir Patrick Stewart, Emma Thompson, and Michael B. Jordan. It was enough to entice viewers into two minutes of pure feline horror.
This time around, our inclination to watch was undoubtedly fueled by the anticipation of the internet’s collective reaction. Regardless of the film’s ultimate quality, the responses to the trailers elevate the experience of watching humanoid cats to a strangely worthwhile level. The memes surrounding Sir Patrick Stewart alone could carry this cat-astrophe at the box office.
Another amusing aspect? The comparisons to other famous characters.
While many viewers grapple with the sheer terror that the new Cats movie appears to promote, others grasp Hooper’s vision for this remake. Some commenters pointed out missed opportunities by the filmmakers to capitalize on certain aspects.
Of course, we must recognize that some fans have expressed genuine excitement about the film, furry cat-like bodies aside. We won’t label these passionate supporters as crazy cat enthusiasts, but we wouldn’t be shocked if they have a feline friend at home named Grizabella or perhaps even Bombalurina. Maybe they even adopted a new kitty and named it after Taylor Swift, who portrays Bombalurina.
In summary, reactions to the latest Cats trailer range from hilarious to perplexing, making the online discourse just as entertaining as the film itself. Even if you feel unprepared to handle giant dancing cats on the big screen, the tweets and memes about them are definitely worth a look.
