For those who do like cats (the animals, not this particular iteration), it's based on T.S. Eliot's book of poems, "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" ... which I expect will come out in a new version once the movie hits (unless the uproar over the horror cancels the whole thing which, yes, is going on elsewhere). They're charming little poems, geared towards the younger set ... the previous edition (which came out when the stage show was a THING) had Edward Gorey illustrations (he loved cats, so it was a natural match). I imagine there are multiple copies of that floating around, new or used, if anyone has any interest.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Look, my cat doesn't sing or dance, so I can't endorse it because it's wildly unrealistic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

MacCavity's real name is Murderbiscuit. He just doesn't let people use it in public. #TrueCatsFacts

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It does say "Based on T.S. Eliot" in the trailer.
The trailer is a little creepy, but I have no intention of ever seeing it, and have never seen the original, so no harm, no foul for me.

Well, here's a trailer that shouldn't horrify you.

I just want more of the Fathom Event things where they show filmed Broadway productions. Why hasn't there been one of these for Wicked? Whyyyyyy?

IT Chapter Two: I'm the scariest trailer you'll see all day!
Cats: Hold my milk
Ha!
I feel the IT Chapter Two trailer is scarier, but, y'know, clowns. That weird "vintage clown doll" laughing noise throughout is 1) accurate as hell, 2) NIGHTMARE FUEL, and 3) still echoing in my head from watching the trailer yesterday.
