Insane - this is what YouTube was made for. If you like Cats in any form check it out
This is so good but none of my friends will believe me when I tell them because I’ve never shown them anything good before
Somehow easier to follow than the original cats. I wish the last number went on forever
two cats too curious
absolutely charming! the visuals were perfect, and the soundtrack felt like "if of Montreal made a Jellicle concept album"?? I loved it.
I was way too sober for this. LOL It's pure unhinged energetic chaos fandom filmmaking in action, but the creativity and music make it somewhat delightfully mesmerizing. I quite enjoyed the animation, puppets, and especially the lengthy final musical number of cat names. Honestly, I might have voted for this in our Seattle Film Critic Society Best Pacific Northwest Film Award if it'd been nominated because it's so endearing and unabashedly unique. You can watch it on YouTube here.
Somehow both exactly what it says on the tin and nothing you could possibly imagine. Opens with a parody of the Princess Irulian intro from David Lynch's Dune except she's dressed as a cat, and it pretty much goes from there.
Absolutely delightful, strongly recommend checking it out if you have the opportunity.
Watched at the Northwest Film Forum for the Local Sightings Film Festival
Consistent in its visual inventiveness and creativity even as its essential shapelessness makes a little of it go a long way. The main stumbling block against this being more than an amusing curiosity, for me, is that the music is decidedly Not My Thing. Deliberate lo-fi aestheticism can work for me vis-a-vis cinema, btu it almost never does in music, and after roughly the third number I struggled to tell these sing-song plinky Casio tunes apart. The last song, though, is consistently funny enough that it almost makes me want to bump this up into full-recommendation territory. (Tag yourself, I'm Take Meowt.)
A delight for the senses. About as much plot as Cats 1, but with some honestly excellent puppetry and a 12-minute finale that left me gobsmacked (but not how I was anticipating). Music? Also extremely good, somewhere between The Magnetic Fields and Dan Wilson. Available on YouTube.
man the pandemic was a weird time
diy spirit, the warmth and mystery of a blank vhs tape, a mixed media collaboration between friends
great tunes, impressive endeavor by this team of passionate artisans
i cannot imagine the thrill of discovering somethibg this esoteric on youtube organically
Best use of puppets I’ve ever seen and also lots of absolute banger tunes. I’ve not seen the first one and I don’t intend on ever watching it. Can’t wait for cats 3:Tokyo Drift starting macaverty jr and smanuel
this is such an incredible creative work. this is the whole reason anyone makes anything. fuck this is good.
