- I was going to do a totally different video this week but then I saw Cats and I have some thoughts.
Seriously if you guys have any ideas on how to make them look cuter let me know I wanna know how other people would tackle it.

I feel like leaving the human noses was one of their biggest mistakes.
The mouths bothered me far more. Especially if the lips were really full.
Yeah!
@death is a preferable alternative to communism you're rude...but also true
I hate the lips. They're just..disgusting
@@sailiealquadacil1284 Yeah, my brain just went "nope!"
Imagine a beautifully dressed cat like balletina who gets scared, and then her ears move back, her tail fuzzes up and her eyes change. That fits the mood she's feeling, and also makes her not look creepy as hell!
U ever seen she ra? Basically, take this, remove the ballerina part and make them a suave lesbian. She emotes just like this, and her name is catra
Nat Nat best lesbian cat :3

👏👏👏👏 FRICKIN YASS
@@natnat7297 Omg yes
You know there's something wrong with it when furries start hating it.
True dat
Tru
True dah-
As a semi-furry, I can confirm this
Dat tru
Cats are really expressive... Body language, their tails, the way they watch you like they’re really paying attention, the eyes and ears... the movie missed it all
fabiana espinoza true
Ik
Even the way their fur ruffles is expressive qwq
Yeah! Just by looking at my cats (or any) i can completely tell if they're sad, happy, tired, angry, scared, calm, curious e.c.t
Yeah and also when you do something wrong and they look at you indignantly like "you scoundrel shall do this right! My love is only bought with catnip and respect!" (Its better when ya say it in British)
The thing that freaked me out was the fact that they had noses...human noses...
Auburn Sandner samee!
I didn’t even realize this oh my god you’re right...
And their lips looked so bizarre especially if they had dark/red lips with light fur coats. It just didn't look good.
Anime
And lips....
I don't know why they made almost all the cats short haired, when all of the cats were very fluffy originally.
gwen I’m guessing bc the cgi would be easier to animate
@@Fae-kisses ha, laziness
And the one that did have long fur seemed way more normal than the other cats
Ctcartsandgaming yep what do you expect from movie companies now
While I generally don’t approve of “Fixing” art, this is one case where I’m sure most of us can unanimously agree that there is an issue that needs to be assessed and fixed with the CATS designs.
I totally agree. Usually, "fixing" art is just critiquing and redesigning. But the Cats movie is kind of universally disliked, for the CGI or just in general.
@@nocarbonationtm21 How are you supposed to "fix" art without critiquing and redesigning?
keep in mind, this is a large studio's work that we're fixing, NOT an individual's work. that's the difference. it's one thing to fix, say, Disney's work, than to pick one artist on DeviantArt and "fix" their artwork.
edit: grammar
@@ndiyabucaphukelaubusobakho1732 I see as those who 'fix' art are people who make changes to accommodate their own biases. And when you claim to fix something, you immediately put your work on a higher pedastal to the original. Though not all of them are like this, but many.
Most art students pay for someone to "fix" our art, I dont really understand not being able to accept constructive criticism (not bashing the art) if Im drawing unporportionally or I can use a certain brush technique better Im alll ears, but if someone just says "that sucks its weird", doesnt help anyone. I mean if that was the case than why was Sonic successful after being re-conceptualized? Ya know what I mean?
It's honestly funny how the live action Cat in the Hat movie from 2003 made a better humanoid cat than Cats in 2019
Well I mean the cat in the hat is still horrific
The bar was so low and they dug a hole to avoid it.
I find the Cats cats much more approachable than the live Cat in the Hat. No idea why.
Cat in the hat live action haunted my dreams as a kid.
Honestly both are horrifying
"so now i'm just gonna circle a few places-" *circles 80% of the image*
And the other 20% is the actual face and the background
XD
Lol
Can’t blame her-
Probably because 80% of the image was shit lol
They should have stayed as close to the actual musical, ie using makeup, wigs and fake fur, as possible and only used cgi to animate the tails and ears.
Lace Neil Yes! It would look better
In fact maybe just do a theatrical release of a professional recording
This was what I was hoping and had assumed they were gonna do when I first heard of the movie. Then I saw the pictures and trailers and.....just disappointed.
Yes that's exactly what they should have done, just animate the ears and tails so they can use the movements for more expression
(But keeping them a bit like just props maybe)
Yeah, and they should have made special clothes to look like fur but more fluffy so it doesn't look so naked QwQ
The sad part about Cats is my gran got excited to hear that they were making it into a movie! (She saw the musical in the 80's) and then felt so cheated with the shitty designs.
*we must avenge your grandmother, WRONGS MUST BE RIGHTED*
We must fix this for your grandma sake
Avenge the gran!
@@tiredfruit_
*Y E S*
Imma eat da peeps who made the cats movie for making your grandma sad >:D
Let's be real: most furries could have done better than the cats movie.
Edit: what the fuck how is this my most liked comment-
😂
This should be pinned
i agree and love this comment xD
I'm a offended fur
Uhm.. what?
they couldve solved the whole thing by talking to just one furry
Literally. Like so many mainstream movies with anthros fail because they look creepy and five minutes after a trailer drops I see a furry artist doing a quick sketch and making it look fantastic
I don't even support furries, but I completely agree with you
I find it funny you said this because I've had people going "Well, at least this movie will be popular with Furries" and I was like "Ohhhh no, they hate it!"
@@Nionivek the last good movie with anthro animals was zootopia ksksksksksksos I feel like the designers were furries
Mer Rowley lol
What bugged me the most was the inconsistency in character designs. Example: some had cat like noses while others did not. Some had fur clothes and some had regular clothes.
Stuff like that.
And some had no clothes. Nudist cats?
@@aussiewanderer6304 Well, they are suppose to be cats... nothing more and nothing less. My cats don't wear clothes.... most actual cats don't wear clothing so XD
Did you see the original? Some cats in it wear clothes and it's quite important
@@michelleschaefer683 I've seen a video taped version of the original. Some cats have clothes but they're used to accentuate distinct fur details and characteristics. They look like they're part of the body, like the leg warmers or the fur cloaks. In this film it's inconsistent because some of the clothing is actual clothing while others are part of the fur, which, for the film version, looks clumpy and weird. I personally think for the film version they should have had real clothing on the CG cats rather than weird CG clothing attached to the cats.
How did you read this thread and miss the entire point? Obviously we know about real cats. So then why do the cats wear clothes at all in the movie? Even after 3 years, reading comments like these irk me. @@shinigamikitty
How to successfully adapt Cats into a movie:
Step One: don't
Step Two: don't
Step Three: make it a cartoon
Step four: Respect your VFX artists
WRONG WRONG AND WRONG again cause if you were actually knowledgeable about the musical and understood the material it is based upon you would also know that according to A. L. W. when he approached T.S. Eliot's widow asking for permission to adapt the material into a musical she asked if they will make them like pussycats and he said no, then she replied " cause Disney had approached him ( T.S Eliot) about it and he refused, he didn't want them made into cartoony pussycats"
@@galadballcrusher8182 true, so maybe use costumes from the original musical. Or just do the animation in a style different from Disney, animation is a medium so just because they are animated doesn’t mean they have to be made “Pussy Cats”
And 👏 Respect👏Your👏VFX👏Artists
@@galadballcrusher8182 who cares? Make it a cartoon or don't do it.
@@galadballcrusher8182 Well live action pussy cats didn't work out so does he really have anything to lose at this point?
They low key looked like a medieval painting of a cat..
Spot on! The terror of cats in old paintings never ceases to amuse me~
They really do
I hate when people say "It's bad CGI"
It's not bad CGI, it's bad design
It's both. They didn't do their homework with clear plates and as usual calculated way too little time to finish the effects properly.
it's definitely both, the design is bad BUT the quality of the cgi is BAD too. there are people's feet going into the floor & the floor bending around them?, the head overlay moves weirdly sometimes, there's fur-face-overlays disappearing or a visible gap between the overlay and the actual face, etc etc. if you pay attention more and more flaws become painfully obvious. I agree that the design was the main flaw but the cgi is still embarrasing for a 2019 movie and it's mainly because they rushed this film into theatres when the special effects were nowhere near finished. I kind of feel bad for the cgi people who made this because you can see that they do have the skill but they just weren't given enough time to create a consistently good product, let alone a great one.
the design is part of the cgi
Like, did you see that water Bustopher Jones was drinking? The CGI was terrible. The proportions and design are all part of the CGI presentation. Was the CGI the only problem? No. Was the CGI also a major problem. Absolutely.
@@Quotenwagnerianer The director finished at the last minute. And no one didn't even saw it before the premiere. Like how can that happen? How can someone spend so much money yet keep editing till the last moment and still show the unfinished product?
"The clothes should be real and should always be on"
*Thank you*
*takes clothes off*

*Zips off skin, revealing clothes underneath*
The naked Cat-Human bodies are so disturbing. It's like material for r/confusedboners, with empathis on "confused"
This is amazing out of context
I love how macavity was wearing a thick coat at first and then halfway through he was just like "Nah screw this" then went naked and because you had already gotten used to him wearing clothes, he just looked SO naked lmao

Yes, that is very true. That section was honestly the most I've laughed in months.
@Joseph Chavez-Jackson
That is basically my constant mood while drawing.
Petition for the movie makers to hire LavenderTowne to redo the Cats movie, with the same sounds and voices but her animation. Crazy, but it would be so good. I'd actually watch the movie if this was done.
Idk if lavendertowne could make a whole movie
@@lowercase_ash if she was commissioned, she probably could make the time for it. And she definitely has the skill
@Ariana Meinking do you know how many PEOPLE and TIME it takes to make a animated movie?! Lavender couldn’t do it alone no matter how much money she was payed. Plus she doesn’t do commissions anymore (I think)
Rather than having her animate the whole movie, i would say she could be hired as a character designer
She could do the design and basic movements, but they could hire professional animators to do the animating in her style.
“I did a bad thing and I’m going to show it to you now”

I'm not even halfway through and I already like this better. I previously thought Cats should only be interpreted one of two ways, namely either as a Don Bluth-esque 2D animation, or in the form of the original 80's style costumes, but your third answer is a perfect compromise, I'd say.
At this point, the Cats movie even scares away the furries..
As a furry I can confirm it does
As another furry I can confirm that it scared us away

Meh... as a theater kid... it’s fine, I’m not easily scared

"This is an example of bad CGI"
No, this is THE example of bad CGI.
This is so cool! It also would have been way less stress on the VFX department, I presume - giving them only seven months to perfect a completely new technique and apply it to an entire feature-length film is just not a thing that was ever going to end well, but only having to deal with the eyes/ears/maybe tails, plus the occasional non-cat effect that couldn't be done with practical effects, seems a lot more manageable.
Just...masquerade cats is such a cool route to take stylistically and I love it.
"unintentionally sexual" I'm pretty sure it was fully intentional.
Two words. Kitty tiddies
It really is intentional, especially that Tugger.
Ewww...
listen to the original choreographer , Gillian Lynne, talk about the show. The overt sexuality is 100 percent intentional.
That's just how the musical has always been
Original Tugger has girls screaming at his crotch while he hip thrusts
It's great

Righhhttt? 🚫🧢
The problem is whether or not she can keep up with the work strain
Why? she makes her living off her own art, she doesn't need to work for anyone to make money.
I don’t think she’s there yet.
Her designs kind of fall around the same body types, skin tones, and proportions. While I like her work, there is a lot she needs to improve on. Her shading is very heavy, and while better than I can do, it is not at a concept design level. I especially struggle with her body types. The facial features of her work are great. However, she tends to draw very thin characters. I’d like to see characters with different body types. I feel as though Lavender towne struggles with this.

@@lakynpayne6476
Search 'Amblimation Studios Cats'.
Just make the whole thing an anime and everyone would be happy
My opinion:
1. They should've used actual costumes like the musicals; or
2. They should've made it a 3d animated feature film.
Definetely the costumes. Making it fully 3d animated would make the movie lose the most integral part of the show: The dancing.
Idk maybe a 2d film would be cooler. The again I just prefer 2d animation.
@@lucidmoth1023 I love 2d, but without the choreography, it just aint Cats
my mom belives that they should have hired circus olay (a group of acrobatics and dance) and nefver had it done in cgi

To fix the design if they HAD to do it in live action, they should've just done it with makeup and wigs and stuff like they did in the original stage musical. It looked super cool and really pretty and not disturbing.

It is almost like the people who designed the cats for cats had never actually met a cat
The director held them to unrealistic deadlines. They were given 7 months. Toy Story took 2 years.
The thing is, their design was intentional. They wanted us to be able to tell that Taylor Swift was Taylor Swift. And that Idris Elba was Idris Elba, etc, etc. They got so many big name actors in there, and they wanted to make sure we knew it. And that's why their faces are too human-like.
Or they took their inspiration from renaissance painters :D Look it up, don't thank me :p
@@oh-totoro TBH my approach would have been Alita meets anime catgirl. Use Alita like proportions and animations make them look less human, slap some cat ears on top and give em a floofy collar. Sure animating every single one with the precision and love for details that was used on Alita is a monumental job but considering how much time spent on furry buttcheeks is saved it might just be worth it.
@@System-zu7np some the weird shaping can be partially achieved with illusionary makeup (like the trick mentioned with lips), i think they definitely could've just made like a "Cats the musical but accessible and not in the 80's" and it would've done well
CZcams: Three seconds seems like long enough to start recommending people this video
Me: *oh nice*
?
2:16 woah those cats are cute
This is a great exploration, and very gutsy messing around. I was also cheered by the fact that I'm not the only one who sometimes has problems with the stylus making nasty lines or dots while sketching. I appreciate that you are posting about honest process, what even experienced or "pro" artists go through, and not just "this is how awesome an artist I am."
my main issue was the nose. literally if they slapped on a bit of black eyeliner and make a "cat nose" out of it i would have liked it a little better.
Agreed, the noses were awful
Don't forget about the human hands.
olivia scorciolla yes! thats what i’ve been saying!
I didnt even dislike the cats design that much (yes, that nose idea would have helped alot) but what botherd me the most was the weird effects they used when jumping (them jumping extremely far) or the way they were tiny in that big world. It just looked really weird to me.
The first thing most people do when they put on a cat costume for Halloween it's draw on their noses and the whiskers. I cannot believe they forgot something so basic like that.
“Cats” can’t be “Cats” without the wigs, leg warmers, and spiky collars. Making things all cgi is never a good idea.
Narnia?
It came out years ago and is good as ever. Moviemakers these days are just lazy with design and movements. The Lion King live action remake would have been so much better if they hadn't used the "animals don't have facial expressions" excuse. It's not true and even if it was, it can be avoided with proper design.
@@emvuosku4219 Yeah. Like there was a news article about a lion who scared a photographer and then smiled/laughed at him. How does one come to the conclusion of "animals don't have facial expressions. Has the director never had a pet?
Oh yes...I remember seeing the Cats Broadway show on PBS TV in the 90s growing up.
And I was hooked.
I loved all the "cheesy" 80s stuff in that medium because it worked with the theme and coupled with the acting & music, didn't seem "cheesy" anymore once you got immersed into the show.
That was great character & costume designing.
Plus they had alot wasted talent in this movie adaptation. The movie would have been cool if they kept some things real and still used CG.
@@irishime two things in the play that everyone talked about -- costuming and choreography, two things they wrecked in the film -- costuming and choreography.
Actually the design is already gud but the only thing that is wrong is the face
It would be better if the face is a real cat face and not human face
When I first heard about the cats movie I thought it would be like Aristocats style then I saw they trailer and I was sorely mistaken
I think that the masquerade masks would be a viable option on stage. one thing that you didn't mention that I think was key though, is the realistic coloring. Each cat on the stage musical is unique distinctive and instantly recognizable. The film gave them all realistic coat colorings, which ended up making them look very samey. They also increased the number of backup dancers, which lost the close-knit feel of the original. When you see bumble arena ever since seen one, when she has a solo in song seventeen, it feels more meaningful than if she just suddenly appears out of nowhere
This is something I would watch.
Savannah German ok
Yummy Phil boomer
Savanna German oh, wich one?
*is anyone wondering why the character design artists didn't catch these mistakes* ??
*Nope.* There's a HUGE number of people approving/disapproving design elements in every film, especially when CGI is involved. The artists didn't make any mistakes, they did what they were told to do.
Haven't seen this video when the discussion about Cats was relevant, but it's such a cool design at 11:30! I think maybe it will look less uncanny if expressions like blush just blend into the mask, like on top of fur and human skin, so the separation between skin and fur on the face will be less even. Like they do it in the cartoons if the anthropomorphic cat or bird blushes - red blush is displayed on top of their fur or feathers. Because if we choose to have life-like eyes and cat ears, which look functional for a viewer, it just adds uneasiness that there is such a clear distinction between the furry and human part of a character, especially on the face, so it could help to make it more "unclear" where human part ends and cat one begins.
They should have either:
1. Put the actors in costumes similar to those of the stage performance.
2. Make it a 2D animation that was stylistically the same as “The Aristocats” or “Cats Don’t Dance”.
The CGI and live action in general was a mistake and I’m getting kinda sick of both tbh.
Even Avatar made the navi look more cat-like than the CATS movie😂like,navis aren't even supposed to be cats but it still has more cat-like features than the design for the CATS movie
Adriana Carolina Lmao I agree
Agree 100%.
I think its the nose and the hair

I was so confused but then i realized you were talking about the movie, not the last airbender.
9:26 - I like this way
LavenderTowne: *circles she doesnt like*
me: *circles the whole body*
I really hope Cats comes out with a remake in years to come, with longer production time and a better design, hopefully based off of the musical. Even simply re-releasing the original with a different character design would be so much better.
better yet remaking the a film version into an animated version for netflix based on the amblimation art galleries
As long as it still has Taylor Swift in it, I'll vibe and watch it.
@@preciouslakez7735 the use of pop singers who expected everything to bend around them is one of the many many reasons it did not work! it was mostly the director, but also literally everything else was part of it. just animate the audio from the original musical recording with, like, cats what are somewhat anthropomorphized in their expressions and behaviors but are still quadrupedal. Or at least re-record everything with people who are trained in musical theater
i hope we get an adaptation or even another proshot with growltigers last stand, its such a good number thats left out way too often

10:40 ah yes my sleep paralysis demon
8:00 honestly no, it’s very adorable. I would’ve loved a movie like that :)
"They used Benedict Cumberbatch's facial expressions on a dragon, so.."
They did w hat
In the hobbit ...
Benedict Cumberbatch played Smaug from The Hobbit. I'm not too knowledgeable about the technical process but I believe they digitally mapped out his face as he acted it so they could use many of his expressions on the dragon itself. If you check out a behind the scenes, it's super entertaining, you just see Cumberbatch crawling around and making these awesome faces

between this and the goofiness that is the DBH acting clips, i have concluded we need more motion capture if for nothing more than to get more silly shit like this
Cursed idea: CATS but everyone’s wearing a cat fursuit
that would be a tremendous improvment
Yeah at least it wouldn't be _as_ creepy
so..... the actual onstage cats musical??
an improvement in my opinion
Fursuits themselves aren't creepy, the fact that people willingly walk around in them is creepy
Ahh I love this design! It looks so cute and, execution-wise, it would be feasible and look so phenomenal and cute!
Isn’t it part of the show that the cats KNOW they’re putting on a show? So it’s completely perfect for them to have masks and look like performers because they know they’re performing
I don’t see why they didn’t just animate it and have it feel almost like Disney’s aristocats
Spielberg was going to do that in the 1990s but the studio closed and they made the 1998 movie
Apparently, T.S. Elliot's widow didn't allow it back in the day.
because it’s got no plot either? that’d be just as, if not more, boring
I think it’s just because you lose the dancing and the expression in the singing when you just make them cats. The plot is really weak, it’s more of a cabaret with a main goal rather than a story
Because the entire allure of Cats is the live, intricate dancing.
when she was circling parts that were uncomfortable, I'm surprised she didn't circle the whole thing

For cats they should’ve thought of the Lion King musical. Because in that musical the main character is the human version of a large cat, and I think the costume looked really nice and showed that the actor was a lion. Your interpretation really helped me not be scared of the movie anymore.
I have seen the broadway of the lion king and I agree the costume really showed that he was a lion I completely agree
What was wrong with the first sonic design was that they shrunk his eyes. Sonic has big almost diamond shapes eyes so it didn’t feel like our classic speedy hedgehog. That was cats first mistake too. The eyes were shrunken so it didn’t feel like a real cat.
Some people call the creepy sonic that people didn’t like “human teeth sonic” but the newer better sonic also has human teeth lol
But can you really fix this monstrosity?
Edit: Yes, Yes you can. They’re super cute~
*they're
Sorry I'm a grammar nazi
Debil sorry couldn’t resist lol
They’re*
“We need to find out what is the problem...”
Me: Everything
Pepsi Gachalife yes
How there's nothing even wrong with it and I can spot something wrong with something right away
There’s nothing wrong, their designed to look like that, y’all just don’t understand because you guys don’t do your research
Everything*
XoXoTrenni Am I not allowed to have an opinion?? My lord
10:12 i love this
Design workers: **scribbles notes while watching**
Just *one* furry on the design team would have prevented this madness
They wouldn't have listened to the furry, we all know this.

Thou comment hast been re-written
Wait she has pet *MICE* ?! I freaking love mice! They're so cute 😍
@@47ratsinahoodie She has rats actually. Two if I'm correct
AoTako yes, she has two rats
@@NekoKumeika Rats are cute, too! I don't get the bad rep rats have. They just happened to spread a couple diseases a few times, so what? By that logic people should hate snakes since they're always biting people. Plus, I would kill for the flexibility of a rat.
Hooded Raire Same but my mom won’t let me have one.
LavenderTowne in 2020: "I didn't want to start off this year with a bad thing"
Me now: "Oh this, this will not be the worst thing in 2020... no no no no..."
i feel it they wanted to still use CGI on the face they could connect the furry mask to the skin because in (8:13) it looks more wolf-y and odd. It looks like an entirely different part, unconnected to the face, instead of part of the body
Lavandertowne: cats are cute
