Did you know
- TriviaOn 21 December 2019, a mere two days after its release, Universal Pictures announced they would be releasing a new version with updated CGI at an undisclosed time.
- GoofsA few calico cats, including Mungojerrie, are male. Although the nature of chromosomes causes most calico cats to be female, it is a little known fact that male calico cats can exist, although they are extremely rare.
- Crazy creditsThe film opens without any opening credits. The title of the film is stated just before the closing credits.
- Alternate versionsAn "completely finished" version, which improves the VFX, replaces the "Early Preview" version with the use of the Digital Cinema Package (DCP) that with downloaded onto a satellite server after the opening weekend, as demanded by Universal Studios International (UIP).

Featured review
The best horror movie since 2018's Hereditary.
This film is truely a masterpeice in unintentional horror. The effects are so special I'm going to have nightmares for weeks to come. Why they didn't just dress the actors in costumes and makeup I have no idea, either the filmmakers are lazy or someone wanted to push the boundries of visual effects. Cats pushes those effects right off a cliff into the uncanny valley. The design and look is freakin disgusting.
I never saw the stage musical, so I didn't know what I was in for. This movie that has no plot, it's just a bunch of random cats introducing themselves. I tried to enjoy it as a so-bad-it's-good cringefest, but the lack of plot and the terrible effects make it impossible.
If you can't even look at the screen without feeling annoyed & disgusted, it's impossible to enjoy it in anyway.
Thanks Tom Hooper.
