Re: Inspired by 12 - Cats the movie vs. Cats the stage musical

(Anonymous) 2019-08-23 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
I think the main issue in the movie version is with the headpieces and makeup. The headpieces change the head shape somewhat drastically and I think the costumes need that for stylisation. And while the stage makeup would obviously be too much, they really need something to soften the human features of the faces and make them more cat-like.
There are, in fact, a few roles in the stage version that look similar to the movie versions, namely Cassandra, Coripocat and Tantomile. They were always the strangest looking to me because they, like the movie versions, lack that extra fluff.

The mistake the movie made, imo, is not going the "we change some aspects of the actors' faces to make them look more like furries" route. Going full furry anthro cat might have worked.


I mean, I think Cats is one of the musicals least suited for a pseudo realistic movie adaption. But it could have been done at least slightly better. Some characters just look sad and terrible in the movie (hi Mistoffelees).
