We are now entering an age of animated films where the entire point is to say they are not animated

How do you feel about this?

Scrooged. They've been trying to make films like that since the early '00s but only now have people succumbed to the uncanny valley.

well that movie at least said it was animated

When everything is animated, nothing will be.

See I just knew DC would fuck up Cheetah

Dame Judi Dench looks slightly more decent unlike the rest because she has more fur. But that just makes it her face on a furry body instead of those other weird cat humans

Her CGI is probably the least horrifying of the whole movie. At least they covered the sides of her head with hair. The others just look like humans with their ears chopped off. How do they screw up so bad, when the theatrical costumes are so highly regarded? They could have literally just run the normal play with normal costumes, and just spent money on fancy sets.

>least horrifying
Jesus Christ I haven’t looked and I’m super scared

someone pointed out that they need the 80s glam hair to like fill out the head otherwise it's too humanoid.

It's pretty bad, and the fur isn't even slightly convincing. Also, pop singers can't actually sing very well.

So some are wearing stuff and others its just fur pattern.

Oh the nightmare

I don't care. I don't pay to see those films and won't pirate them either. If the people bankrolling the animation industry want to run it opposite my own tastes, they can. There's more animation from the past to watch and enjoy than I could possibly consume in my lifetime.

They digitally deleted this poor guy's neck. He looks like it hurts to live.

Maybe they'll finally get rid of the animation Oscar and let animated films compete in other categories.
Haha who am I kidding fuck Hollywood

I like how they openly admit to not having watched the movies. its VERY based

>When everything is animated, nothing will be.
This is the master plan for bringing 2D animation back. CGI fatigue.
Only Sony struck first so now Disney will hold their hand until Miles-verse implodes before playing an ace of their own...

CATS is different from like the Lion King cause the actors (Judi Dench, etc) are still physically acting. Whereas like in The Lion King or other animated movies the animators are doing the acting and maybe basing it off the voice work. I think that's one of the big differences between even this and The Lion King. much less something like I dunno Toy Story.

well The Lion King (2019) had no acting

How does it look worse than decades old stage costumes?

because looking good is cheap. looking expensive will always be horrific and always be based.

>When the play looked and sounded better than your billion dollar movie in every way, expressly because of your professional "improvement" turning it into a horror show.

CGI is the film equivalent of cilantro. It only exists so that incompetent hacks can hide the taste of rotten ingredients.

this is the greatest food metaphor I've seen on Yea Forums

Cause they're actual actors in costumes, yes they look dumb, but there isn't any digital alterations that could cause uncanny valleys.

Just in case this is confusing, I'm talking about why the Broadway show looks better

There is an alternate timeline where they simply used the classic costumes, and only used CGI to hide the stitches to add whiskers and tails.

What in god’s cock

yeah I knew it was a bad example but it's big right now, it also has cats in it, first to come to mind. I do love it and CATS as opposite ends of a spectrum.

the broadway show is also going for something different. you don't see close ups and shit on stage. being exaggerated helps get across emotions. they could constantly tweak stuff until it works best. tom hooper is a bad director

>Live Action Thundercats

what exactly is this movie trying to convince us of? obviously we are not supposed to believe these are real cats.
We aren't supposed to believe they are cats in costumes.

>tom hooper is a bad director
I was going to argue, but thinking back the good parts of his stuff is mostly down to really excellent actors.

The makeup of the Broadway show should have been upgraded to movie quality, without the earless horror of what the film CGI os doing.

This lumpy mascot costume is still less horrific than what the Cats film has done.

People have been shitting on Cats since the day it was created, and after a near two decades people had gotten over it, now you decide to bitch and moan again?

Their face actually look more cat-like, which overall, make them look better. The issue is, I think the actor still wanted to be recognisable, so they went with more human faces, which is a bit more uncanny.

I actually love how weird looking and goofy this film is. They could have done hyper real CGI cats but instead went super fucking nonsense looking surreal. I'll definitely see it.

I assume they wanted to make "realistic looking cats" and not stylized ones. With really weird human noses. And humans lips.

Oh the horror.

They should have just remade the theatrical costumes in actual cat fur colors, and digitally added a tail.

Fuck you, if Blacksad happens, it needs to be fukken 2D

Will the music be based or shit? Will they butcher memories? How does Andrew Lloyd Weber feel.
My first cat was named Jemima RIP ;_;

All cats, including the males had glam-style makeup that enlarged the eyes, the wigs served a very practical purpose of both establishing character and making the transiiton between human skull and cat ear less awkward (see how in the CGI Mistoffeles is the least fucked looking because of his hat) The variation in wig styling, placement of various ruffles, painted patterns made the cats more distinguishable, and also all the cgi females have their titties squished down for some reason.
>don't pretend like you ever gave a fuck about the show to begin with
As a tiny faggot in the nineties with nothing but a VHS collection of recorded pbs shit, I did. It's objectively a terrible musical but I did once care about it.

Sounded a little weak in the trailer.

>There are probably people who will fap to that movie

>Taylor Swift made to look like a catgirl hybrid.

Gee, you think?

I for one am grateful for these movies. For years normies have laughed at me for fapping to cartoon characters, human or furry. Well now you see, real human can't be as sexy as a cartoon. You could easily draw these characters to look sexy, but this way they look creepy.

A cartoon character is objectively sexier than real human/CGI character.

I wonder if they're going to keep the orgy scene.

See for yourself twitter.com/OfficialALW/status/1151963511196672008

It probably is unfinished. Filming ended in April so taking into account rendering time we're probably looking at two months of actual CGI work. Not that I'm defending it, mind you. I really don't think they'll be able to fix the shit designs in time for its December release. Heck, apparently the director is so fucking clueless that he didn't even use motion capture suits for this so you're literally looking at a digital cat suit rendered on top of the actors' regular clothes.

It looks bad, but SOMEONE has to be the one to trudge through miles of uncanny valley if we're ever going to emerge on the other side and get non-disturbing CGI furries.

>The only people that aren't freaked out are the furries

Anthro=/=furry.
Anthro=/=feral.

Furries create identities and roleplay/draw their furry self. Fapping to furry porn doesn’t make you one any more than fapping to bondage makes you a dom or a sub in real life. We don’t have a specific word for people who wank sometimes to Pandaren or Thundercats or Samurai Pizza Cats or whatever.

Feral is literally an animal. They may talk or be an average beast, but the person is still fapping to an animal. Shit like dragons being more feral than not, and there not being a consensus on if stuff like Xenomorphs count as feral.

In the case of this movie, they are anthros being treated like ferals. Which is weird. But as long as you are imagining fucking a midget cat person and not a housecat with tits, its not feral.

Why they making a sequel to Cat in the Hat?

All I can remember is a lot of gross humor, and in particular a scene where he waits all day standing in one spot for some reason and a dog pees on him.

Because Disney bought Fox and owns the rights to the Seuss contract.

That shit and the snowman from Jack Frost (the Micheal Keaton one) were a couple of the most hideous, horrifying and downright butt-ugly things to come out of the 90's.

Have you heard/watched the actual Growltiger's Last Stand scene from the show? Because they literally refer to Siamese cats as chinks and use really over the top accents.

It's like they couldn't decide whether to do anthropomorphic cats or people in costumes, so they did both.

Leaving the human noses in place instead of giving them animal muzzles is what really makes this off-putting. They're not cartoon animals, and they're not furries. It's like they decided to make someone NO ONE would like.

Ah god, jesus. Did not expect that.

They wanted big name actors but didnt want to waste months teaching them how to move their haggered bodies. So they are editting them onto CG renders over actual dancers.

Hence why it looks so much worse than makeup they are using the faces for their likeness and not to make them actually look good.

They spent a ton more on the avatar CG than this.

That's what bewilders me.

It's CATS. It's already furry. Embrace it.

This is the same cowardly thinking that gave us a compromised Sonic the Hedgehog design. It's like Hollywood wants to do this stuff, but then is ashamed of the material they're adapting.

The Cats Broadway show is pretty much the core symbol of the weirdness of 90’s upper class liberal culture. It being ruined by pandering to the lowest common denominator in casting would have them celebrating. Like Babadook, but in reverse.

As a furfag myself, stop being delusional. If you have a specific fixation, or sexual attraction towards anthros of any kind you're in the furry spectrum. You really think you can just decide what label suits you, when labels only exist for other people to use? the average person will see what you like, and what you fap to, and they'll consider you a furry, and there's nothing on earth that will convince them otherwise.

The size difference creeps me out more than the designs

Samurai Pizza Cats are robots so its not furry

I don't care for 'MUH REALISM.' I prefer things to look more stylized and cartoonish, not less.

We all just need to ignore this movie until it goes away.

you're not my dad. you can't tell me what to do.

Shut the FUCK UP, BOCO!!!

NO!

What do you mean? Furries hate the trailer, like violently. Check out the comments.

lol furries like animal faces on their characters, what the fuck are you on about

Yeah this is repulsive to furries. It's more like Cheshire Cat Whoopi Goldberg.

Man, they weren't kidding when they said Whoopi Goldberg put her face in all her roles back in the day.

Humans naturally understand a preformer in makeup, we've had those since a bunch of drunk cavemen got high and tried to reenact their latest hunt with one of them pretending to be the mammoth. It sometimes looks silly, but it never looks unnatural and in time we just get used to the 'style' of the makeup or costumes.

But CGI we know to be fact, we know to be an abomination against God, and we know to be nothing more than a slow creep towards replacing all human actors with digital actors. So naturally we revolt against such things.

The average person doesn't care. The furry bogeyman is an internet meme.

No. What’s going to happen is that indie and foreign films will dominate the Best Animated Feature category, just like what happened with Best Animated Short.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I was legitimately terrified of this movie as a kid

Me and a buddy have already agreed to get really high on something and seeing this in theatres. I want to be forever changed. I want to enter a new epoch. There will be no more Self. There will only be Cats.

Fuck you

Don't you dare give this money.

Jesus Boco, give it a rest. No one cares.

Well, Avatar came out almost a decade ago. CGI has advanced since then.

If a feline species evolved to a humanoid state, the ability to have large litters would likely be lost as the size of each offspring increased creating an evolutionary incentive to optimize for single births. Natural selection would have likely phased out these extra teets over millions of generations.

Really? I couldn't tell by looking at this trailer.

this looks so repulsive to me
not only it's a cat person, but an adult-proportioned tiny cat person. It gives me the same feeling as having my hand covered in baby spiders.

someone FINALLY gets it

the theatre piece basically had thundercats hair

Doing that many thrusts in one performance ought to be illegal.

I've never seen Cats, and reading the musical's synopsis on Wikipedia just makes it sound like a bunch of weird shit happening for no reason

He's like Russel Brand but he's marketable to kids

I'm gonna get some mileage out of this

I have undying respect for James Corden's agent/publicist. I have no idea how the guy got to be so big without any talent, but he's booking gigs like nobody's business.

Oh jesus christ I saw this earlier and thought it must ahve been some bit of cgi from an obscure movie made in the mid 00s

This is just so weird looking. So fucking weird looking that I can't stop watching the trailer?

So is everything animated, or are they doing that shit where they shoot empty ass shot in real life and then toss the animated characters in?

They are filming people, and then drawing cartoons over the top of them.

Hey man, nothing wrong with wantin' a little pussy.

Cats is a fucking weird musical, so if the movie follows suit it could be alright.

What board do you even go to to discuss musicals/theater? Yea Forums?

One or both of them needs to be getting dusted as well.

This legit looks like something I would see in a David Lynch movie

>Yea Forums
I mean, by technicality, Yea Forums would work for Cats since it was originally a book of poems. I'd just assume you discuss the musical on the board the original came from (ie. Spongebob the musical would be here, mean girls would be Yea Forums, ect.) But there are people who discuss shit like Heathers in Yea Forums so. Who knows.

This looks like a horror film.

>we want the CGI audience but we still need to show you that actor's faces because they're too fucking stupid to recognize a famous actor by their voice.

Really wish we could get a regular performing arts board.

Isn't this a Christian religious play about going to heaven?

Are they going to change that?

it so does lmao

It's about cats.

Rude

I aint watchin it. Looks like shit.

A person who only faps to it, especially if its only sometimes, does not have it as an identity.

Again, same as bondage. Fapping to it does not make you part of their community unless you actually do it.

One of the most beautifully disgusting things I've seen in my life.

No. It's about a bunch of cats getting together for an audition to be reincarnated.

>if its only sometimes,

So, uh, every hour by the hour counts as sometimes, right?... Right?!

...what?

That sounds like a satrical take on the hollywood process.

I don't like what this is awakening in me.

How the fuck does James Corden get top billing?

For real. All the cats meet up, introduce themselves, and hope they get chosen by the head cat to be reincarnated. There's also an orgy.

Also Gus is the most deserving and doesn’t get chosen lol

Pretty sure they were cyborgs.

I'm sure this has been said but it honestly looks like a Snapchat filter

Why is this thread on/co/?

The OP seems self-explanatory: it's an animated movie but they don't want to call it that

So they're trying to pull a Lion King 2019 with this crap?

Is Cats even a good musical?

Yes

Yep, this isn't a "kiddie movie" after all.

Not really, but it's the Broadway musical most folks have seen so it's a common talking point.

As a furry, I can assure you all that this is what furries want. It's beautiful.

With this movie, we've finally become mainstream. You can't keep us down any longer!

Attached: rouge_fuck_you.png (481x456, 245K)

People can fap to furry porn on a rare occasion and not be considered furry at all. But people who constantly look for furry porn and specifically only for furry porn are definitely furry trash.

oh shut the fuck up. no furry wants it to become 'mainstream' if in the process it just waters it down for normies, its like JJ's fucking Catians all over again

Look, there's nothing wrong with having e621 bookmarked. It doesn't make you a furry.

If you know what e621 is and visit it often, you're definitely furry trash. It didn't have to be this way.

>Judi Dench is Old Deuteronomy and not Grizabella
What's the point?

Furries are already mainstream. I've seen articles written by journalists wanting the opinions of furries about this movie.

>its like JJ's fucking Catians all over again
That was necessary. Do you really think general audiences would find this... thing, attractive?

Attached: cat.png (544x473, 260K)

I like it.

American actors won't sit in a make-up chair too long so they shit cgi it now LOL

Sort of. The plot is pretty much an afterthought and there's zero character development but the dancing is usually great and the songs are catchy. Unfortunately for this movie, the sets and the makeup/wigs/costuming are also a huge part of the show's appeal.

>Sonic looked better
There's a limit to how hard you can try in a shitpost user. Let's not say things no amount of meme magic can make happen.

It's not a cartoon, it doesn't belong here

>If you do it especifically like i do then it doesn't count

No, you're furry even if you do it once a month, just like you don't need to fap to any other fetish every day to count as someone with that fetish. It just makes you a furry among several other things.

The average person doesn't know what a furry is in the first place. If you were to tell them to go out and learn about it on their own before judging what is and what isn't furry, you'd come with a whole lot of different answers but they'd generally call you a furry for liking furry shit even incidentally, because they wouldn't even know why you'd reject the label.

And lets be honest here, if you're both into furry shit occasionally, and know why you don't want to be associated with furries, you're already part of the ecosystem.

The costumes are made to look as costumes. The audience knows what they are and so going for colorful outfits with a lot more texture is easier and can look pretty neat. The hair being done up like a mane or something also helps to make them look both like cool hairdos while still being reminiscent of a lion's mane.

There is no such style in the movie, they instead try making the cats look too realistic as cats so they can't even have cool designs to the fur.

What enlightenment would one get by seeing this in theaters on DMT or LSD? I want somebody like Joe Rogan to try it.

Some CGI is still pretty cartoonish, though, like this.

>they instead try making the cats look too realistic as cats
It's worse because they stop short by leaving the actors' human noses and lips visible.

no one cares about any part of it except 'Memories'

Straight up most furries work high paying jobs.
Some are fucking nuclear physicist and electricians. That's right. That electrician that fixed your house? Furry

>With this movie, we've finally become mainstream
Fucking Zootopia did that

Yeah, weirdos are often gifted with the relatively high INT and cushy middle-class upbringings required to find themselves in well-paying careers.

You joke but it's true. Furries make bank

that is wrong
the nose and mouth should be more cat like
and they should have hair/mane, they look like creepy bold humans with misplaced ears

They didn't want to go full furry
Honestly they should've just used CG cats.

It's gonna be shit just like the source material. Cats is the most overrated musical in history. It is pure trash in contrast to how popular it is.

It'll be shit because of how weird it looks alone

So yes, the Cats movie characters are utterly horrifying, but let's not forget that Cats is a bunch of disconnected numbers with no actual plot. A Cats movie is insane.

This is why broadway stage musicals don't work as movies. You have to add a ton of filler if you want it to make sense

It really does look like they pasted the face in afterwards.

Wait, that's Rumtumtugger?
Fuck that, nobody can ever replace that glorious hip-swinging rocker from the stage to video adaption.

There are a few feature-length films that are anthologies...

The Twilight Zone movie, History of the World Part 1, Moonwalker. And as Yea Forumsnsumers you should know that lots of animated films were multiple stories connected maybe by a framing device: Heavy Metal, the Three Caballeros, Fantasia...

but you have a point, film and theater have had a lot of time to diverge.

Blockbusters are pretty much animated already, digitally created sets and backdrops and props and even characters. It's a farce.

What's happening here is something that's been happening for years, like, ever since T2 and Jurassic Park and Toy Story, where film producers and directors think of computers as magic boxes and the CGI they produce as the answer to fucking everything, with not much thought put into how well it'll work, how good it will look. It feels like almost less of a filmmaking decision than a marketing one, what with them inevitably shouting
>LOOK! WE DID THIS WITH COMPUTERS!
from the rooftops as they promote the movie.

But it's worse than that, because there's also George Lucas syndrome where there's a constant desire to push boundaries and produce new things never seen before, which is good for the advancement of VFX technology, but it always means every hot new thing looks like hot garbage, and ages HORRIFICALLY.

What bothers me about all this is I expected the boomer "computers are magic and draw guaranteed audiences" mentality to wear off around, like, 2005, but somehow it just hasn't. It's still going on strong even though computers and CGI VFX are commonplace..

lol, not a surprise. In one of his published sketchbooks he can be seen apparently developing two animation pitches.
One involved witches, you can guess what happened with that.
The other looked to be basically an anime version of Animorphs
(the original design for Sucy in LWA came from this one... she transformed into a horse)

Also he's a big fan of that miniature horse show and Zootopia, having produced fanart for both.

Attached: triggertopia.jpg (1130x1448, 187K)

It looks like they're making Victoria the focus in this one, though I only remember her having but a handful of scenes.

Munkustrap was the narrator in the play and he's obviously in, but as he's supposed to be designated "protector" of the Jellicle tribe and already knows everyone, we need a "surrogate audience" to meet each and every cat that has a song about them so that probably falls on Victoria to be our shared pov.

They were suppose to be aliens.
Not only that, but aliens establish already in Star Trek lore. Completely changing them pissed off a lot of fans.

Zootopia was pretty furry and grossed over a billion dollars. I seriously doubt this will have the same impact as Zootopia.

This.
Actors use to go through makeup for roles like this for 5+ hours...everyday.....for 3+ months of filming. Now they just cgi the shit on and call it a day. Actors today are pussies.

Attached: giphy.gif (248x192, 1009K)

Seriously, actors today are so fucking fickle and lazy. there are so many instances where shit is CG'd because actors don't want to go the extra mile to reshape their bodies or wear makeup

The Thing prequel is proof of this.
They literally made every shot of the monster with practical effects, and filmed it. The execs saw they finished shots and told them to reshoot it but add cgi for the monster. And the movie looked so much worst than even the 80's original.

Why is Hollywood so against good or even stable aesthetics?

It's always either an atrocity or a hodgepodge

Honestly if I saw that damn thing in my living room, I'd stomp on it until it was a small brown stain.

Number 11: The Cat Movie Trailer

The creatures seen in the trailer are small but seem powerful as they lumber gracefully, I don't know if they are real but they could be CGI.

You (((know)))

We live in an age where the average consumer thinks animation os for children while going to see movies that are 70-100% digitally rendered animated visuals, often at lower quality than the filns labelled as "animated."

You can see her on the left here, the characters are pictured with what they transform into.

It's only a rough sketch and there are no other more defined pictures of her, but it seems to me quite clear that Sucy originated in the drawings for this character.

I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED

Yes.
T.S. Eliot wrote this whimsical poetry book about different cats. Andrew Lloyd Weber, being an insane hack who hates work, decided to adapt it but didn't want to spend any time writing a plot that actually wove the poems together in a sensible way, so he just re-ordered them. Basically the plot is a bunch of cats are introduced- this is 80% of the musical, and you just see all these different cats, You're kind of told that cats have a weird afterlife where all cats die and their souls cease to exist except for one chosen cat a year who will be re-animated. Their leader is kidnapped for unknown reasons, and then is brought back basically off-screen by a magic cat. Then a mangy whore cat is chosen for the resurrection.
The plot is bad and does not follow any known rules of narrative.
