Wow.
I’ve got to admit, it has a certain modest honesty to it.
To me it’s just more proof Monty Python"s Flying Circus was a documentary of the future.
Anyone who’s scooped a kitty litter box would know as well.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has as good theory on Cats
There is no actual play or actors, just musical theater wannabes who jump on stage in costume, assume a cat persona, make up some bs lines, and join the troop. They scavenge for stuff that falls out of people’s pockets in lieu of pay.
I think that’s a good point. Cats is the sort of thing drama kids love. “Pretend to be a cat” is pretty much a theatre class exercise, there’s challenging bits in the singing, and the choreography lets you do a lot of things which are limited in other productions, like leaps. So many leaps.
The general public, of course, are not drama kids.
It’s a plausible theory.
All I can say about Cats is — if Brian Blessed isn’t in it, I’m not watching.
Well, considering that Judi Dench and James Corden have absconded with his traditional roles, it seems unlikely.
Nice music, though. 
But, omg does the new trailer ever dip into the uncanny valley…
I dunno. I sat at the bar in an airport restaurant for food today. It was clearly designed for a larger person. I felt exactly like this:
So, absurd? Or horrifically real?
Yes.
I’m going to lean on absurd more, because:
- Cats think utensils are for knocking off tables
- Cats do not having things, even sparkly things they like to play with, hanging around their necks. It wrecks their leaping game and lets prey and enemies know they’re on the move.
now, and for freaking ever.
The video in this Tweet is incredible. I have no idea how they managed it.
Oops! Must’ve missed that one… 
Superhuman patience.
So, like I said, déjà vu.
