Cats (2019) Trailer Review
Well, People. Looks like we've got a live on.
Likely not the best review to make my 8th trailer review of, but hey...might as well.
First things first, everyone take a look at this trailer for yourselves:
Now, to get my thoughts on this trailer over with:
Honestly, this trailer seemed to promote a film that looks to be hideous every step of the way.
I mean, I've heard that a film based on the "Cats" musical play was going to be coming, and that it was apparently in the planning stages for some time. It was particularly in the plans of Steven Spielberg, but was often being held off. But, I honestly think that after all these years, all they seem to have come up with is a sinking stinker.
The music was certainly catchy to the ear in some way, but the character designs...they appear to be too much like people wearing cheesy cat suits. I can't help but even think that despite having a talented cast on board, especially some big name stars like Idris Elba, James Corden, and Ian McKellen, their talents just seem to be overcome by the cheesiness of their character designs.
Honestly, I would've really preferred that photorealistic imagery had been used with the characters, to make them look like real cats. Just like in "The Jungle Book (2016)". Instead, though, we get what's shown here.
So, do I think that this film is something that's worth everyone's while?
No. No I do not.
But, that's not really the only reason for why I'd be making this post.

To Universal Pictures: Guys, if you really want this movie to be something everybody can love and cherish, the biggest recommendation that I would give is to hold back from releasing this movie in theaters.
The reason I'm saying this is because I highly recommend that the character designs be changed from looking like people in suits, to looking like actual cats. It would help things seem more appealing, that's for sure.
