  • I was a fan of the musical long before the movie, and the movie was meh. The celebrity performances ranged from yuck to average, and the attempts at added humor were way off.

    But I can’t see how it could be translated into a movie much better (I missed Growltiger’s last stand, and felt Beautiful Ghosts detracted from Memory as the emotional peak). Dancers in tights would look ridiculous (and we have the 1998 “movie” for that), and any more realistic cats would remove what little remains of the physicality on film.

    So no issues with the maligned CGI, would watch again, no match for the adorably ridiculous stage show.
