Unpopular opinion: Cats (the movie) was good.
Not gonna lie, I just watched it on disc, and enjoyed it. Does it look different than what we’re used to? Sure, but once you get past that it’s actually good.
The sets are amazing, the animation and effects are really well done, the songs were catchy and will be stuck in my head now. Especially when they sung Memory, it made me want to cry.
To really enjoy it, you have to just let yourself be in the moment, as you should for a lot of movies. Don’t form opinions before you watch it. Let yourself enjoy it.
