Soon she makes\n\u201cfur-ends\u201d with other cats of all shapes, colors and sizes. All the cats have\ntheir own unique personalities. <em>Cats<\/em>\nshows the \u201cpaw-some\u201d nature of the cats, including the playful, sneaky and\nmischievous personalities of these human-like creatures. There are a few crazy\ncat characters, which were my most favorite to watch. They are in a competition\nfor a better life and that is when the cat fight starts. Who will be the next\nchosen one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lead role is Victoria (Francesca Hayward), the abandoned\nkitty. Taylor Swift also makes an appearance as Bombalurina. Another of my\nfavorites in this film is Bustopher Jones (James Corden). I really like this\nhealthy cat and his funny scenes.&nbsp; My favorite of all is Jennyanydots\n(Rebel Wilson). She is so \u201chiss-terical\u201d in this role. &nbsp; I love the entire\nscene from the dancing mice and the army of coachroaches. The scenery colors\nare really electric, and I like how the set is realistically sized to the scale\nof the cats. The choreography and costumes are also very intriguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00004.jpg?resize=225%2C94&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5267\" width=\"225\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00004.jpg?resize=300%2C125&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00004.jpg?resize=1024%2C428&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00004.jpg?resize=768%2C321&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00004.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Cats<\/em> storyline is\na little hard to follow, because&nbsp;there is more singing than dialogue.\nHowever, the overall meaning comes through, which is about finding your way in\na big city, making friends, learning who to trust and letting the right people\nget what they truly deserve, and being honorable.

Now, with the help of director Tom Hooper,&nbsp;<em>Cats<\/em>&nbsp;has\nbeen adapted for the big screen, making the new movie a unique blend of both a\nmusical and a major motion picture.&nbsp;Cats\nis filled with intriguing characters, dances and songs that are incredibly\nmemorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00014.jpg?resize=225%2C95&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5272\" width=\"225\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00014.jpg?resize=300%2C126&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00014.jpg?resize=1024%2C429&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00014.jpg?resize=768%2C322&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00014.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The story begins in a mysterious\nalleyway when a car drops off a new, innocent yet unwanted cat named Victoria\n(Francesca Hayward). It is there that she stumbles upon a tribe of stray\nanimals known as the Jellicle Cats. Once a year, the cats gather for their\nannual Jellicle ball, where they audition to be chosen by the wise leader Old\nDeuteronomy (Judi Dench) to go to the \u201cHeavyside Layer\u201d, a place that will\nprovide them with the new and better life that each one can only dream of. As\nthey prepare for the life-changing event, Victoria encounters each of the cats\nthat hope to win, such as the hilarious Jennyanydots (Rebel Wilson) and\ngluttonous Bustopher Jones (James Corden). Meanwhile, the evil Macavity (Idris\nElba) and his partner in crime Bombalurina (Taylor Swift) will do anything to\nwin, even if it means eliminating the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning, the plot feels\nrushed and that it needed to be developed more. During the film, the characters\nconstantly switch from different sets and have sudden outburts of singing and\ndancing. While these aspects may have worked well on Broadway, it makes some of\nthe scenes feel awkward on the big screen. Because of the rushed plot and lack\nof dialogue, it is not only difficult to follow what is happening in the movie,\nbut also to sympathize and get to know the characters of&nbsp;<em>Cats<\/em>&nbsp;and\ntheir struggles. Audience members are not given enough time to really take\neverything in, making the movie a bit overwhelming at certain times. Also, the\nCGI that was used makes everyone seem to be a strange combination of both human\nand feline. Depending on the actor or actress, the CGI is either very\ndistracting or more on the subtle side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00022.jpg?resize=225%2C94&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5276\" width=\"225\" height=\"94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00022.jpg?resize=300%2C125&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00022.jpg?resize=1024%2C428&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00022.jpg?resize=768%2C321&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2485_T2F_00022.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of this, everything still\nfeels very whimsical and as though you are being whisked away into the magical\nworld that the Jellicle Cats are a part of. The sets for every scene are each\nincredibly giant, detailed and unique, adding to the fanciful and imaginative\nfeelng. Although it is hard at times to sympathize with the characters, we get\nto see a more endearing side of them as the movie progresses. From the Magical\nMr. Mistoffelees (Laurie Davidson), an aspiring magician, to Grizabella\n(Jennifer Hudson), an outcast who seeks acceptance, you can easily see that\nsome of the cats in the film spark emotion.
