>>112252977I actually got a migrane from watching it. The sad thing is that there were a number of things that I liked, but they just did something to each song that just made it lesser in some way. Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats has no music at the start of it. Gumbie Cat has Rebel Wilson in it. Someone decided that the most rock and roll sounding Rum Tum Tugger's even been should have a fucking R&B singer to it. Grizabella wasn't bad. Bustopher Jones doesn't come off dignified in anyway, Cordon sounds like a fop that most anyone would hate to have around. They just, I don't know a better way to put it, ruined Mungojerrie and RumpleTeezer, even though the actual sequence was fucking perfect, the off tempo redo of the song is just wrong. Old Deuteronomy was there, I suppose. Skimbleshanks is my favorite song and while I love the tap number, did they really have to fucking cut off all the music for it and just stop the song dead in it's tracks? Also they got rid of his mentions for tea, and "He establishes control by a regular patrol" which automatically makes the song trash. Mistofelees suffers the same way, starting and stopping, starting and stopping. I understand that it's no logner a boasting song and is instead something to build up Mistofelees, but why not have Rum Tum Tugger do it like he always does? That's one of the best bits of characterizations that any of the cats have is Tuggers Admiration for Mistofelees, given how self-important he is. Taylor Swift wasn't told how to sing Macavity correctly. Memory was pretty good, except for Hudson being covered in snot, and them playing the orchestra over her.
AND WHERE THE FUCK IS GROWLTIGER'S LAST STAND YOU BUNCH OF FUCKS.
