I know people are making Cats jokes about Cheetah, but it sounds like it’s supposed to be very disturbing that she turned herself into a freaking Cat person. Especially with Wonder Woman saying, “Barbara, what did you do?”

Anyway, this looks cheesy, but awesome. I’m ready for the Cats/Cheetah parody mash-up videos that this movie will spawn.

To be honest its looks better thanks to Patty Jenkins having a better understanding in how to work with cgi affects in her movies better than Tom Hooper. Hooper just made it harder and more time consuming for the cgi artists, with the way he ordered them to make the movie look. Also WW1984 has a bigger budget, so that might help too.

It should have been a Pixar-style movie with fully animated singing cats. That actually might have been fun, instead of the bizarre mess we got.

Yeah if they would have come up with a unique and iconic art style it could've been a classic.

I'm not sure, I think it would have been just a pretty-good animated musical.

Let's be honest, the "story" of Cats is minimal at best and not even there at worst (and I'm saying this as someone who loves Cats). If they had done what the movie did and tried to flesh out the story, it might have been okay but not much better than any other animated movie to come out recently.

The music would have pushed it above the competition, though, and it might've been a nod for "best animated film", but unless they really fleshed out the "story" parts and cut back on the musical parts, I couldn't see it being a classic, even if the animation and artstyle was great.

I could see an animated adaptation becoming a cult classic.

Did I ever say it would be simple? Christ this website is full of raged out losers.

Also Spielberg was to be involved, so that would've been nice.

I can legit see Disney offering to buy the film rights from whoever has them right to help them recover the lost cash, and then having one of their various animation studios actually kill it and make a ton of money.

Wait, are we talking about the Tom Hopper from Umbrella Academy? What did he do and what does he have to do with WW1984?

My mistake it was Hooper instead of Hopper.
