And gorgeous too.

I think this movie would be better if the cats didn't have human faces.

...at least Helen Mirren isn't in it, that's something.

But that's how they did the stage musical, just with make up & whiskers. I thought that worked.

The couple next to us when it ended said it wasn't how they expected it to be, they were very scathing about it. I nearly said to them. 'Have you never read the original poetry book?'

I still have my copy here.

Re: "Cats"

I loved the musical but, they couldn't have done it with real cats! It would have been a catastrophe!
They didn't have to use "humans" in the film, just their voices. Like Aristocats but CGI. It would be even more like the book.

I think that would have been good.

Re: "Cats"

I have never forgiven that half wit Andrew Lloyd Weber for ruining one of my favourite poetry books with his inane music.

Why is it that film makers have this mad compulsion to 're-make' everything - and ruin it!!

I saw the stage show in Bradford some time ago - it was brilliant. Also have the DVD of the original cast and watch it often.
