Why not cast actual cats? - Cats (2019) Discussion

No need for a boycott, this film has tanked on its own. Should’ve cast real cats!

How about one called DOGS?

You made me think of the old CATS & DOGS movies from the 2000's. Funny that they're both likely better than this one. And they had some A-list celebrities doing voices, too! Kind of amazing in retrospect for a couple of goofy talking animal movies.

Dogs have too much attention as it is.

It's harder to train them. Ever heard the expressing "like herding cats"?

The cats read the script. They weren't interested.

Cats are smart.

This movie could've easily use and train actual cats with cgi effects like with every other talking-animal kids movie out there. Lady and the Tramp (2019) being the most recent example. It would've been at least lot less jarring to look at and get taken seriously.

True and it would have redeemed my childhood fantasy of seeing a production of live cats.

It's the story of how Hollywood has always been with it's people-washing.

Didn't you hear about #catsboycottcats ? Lots of cats joined the boycott because of the cultural appropriation by homo sapiens. The cats feel typecast and misrepresented. That's why the movie tanked.
