Despite the star-studded line-up in the highly anticipated movie, fans were sour on the 'terrifying' look of the Broadway adaptation, branding the CGI as 'unnerving.'

Raby was certainly in the minority, though, with Birth.Movies.Death editor in chief Scott Wampler tweeting, 'Showed my wife the CATS trailer and she said "this is the final straw" and left the house.'

Cats has been described as a horror musical fantasy comedy-drama film.
It is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the same name, which in turn was based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot.
The story centers on a tribe of cats who must decide each year which of them will rise to the Heaviside Layer, a heaven-like destination, to come back to a life anew.
An unabashed cat fanatic, Swift found it easy to accept the role.

'As a cat lover and a cat owner, if you told me I was going to get to go to cat school every day for work -- what?' she said on a video posted to her own channel.
She also dished some details on her 'cat school' curriculum during a talk with Entertainment Weekly.
'You could learn about how to create the motions of cats, how to think like they think, how to sense things the way that they do, carry yourself the way a cat would. I learned a lot,' she explained.
As for the feline features seen in the trailer, all were added after-the-fact with a new technology Swift attempted to describe as something 'not animated,' and 'not motion capture ... it’s somehow this new way that hasn’t been done before. And they’re giving us a tail that moves naturally, and ears and whiskers.'

In a brief behind-the-scenes segment featured on Entertainment Tonight, Swift opened up on her thespian background and how it makes her cut out for the job.
'My first memories of performance go back to when I was in Pennsylvania growing up. My favorite thing was getting to be theatrical - to tell a story, and I've always brought that sort of narrative element to my live shows,' she said.
It is choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
The film is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019, by Universal Pictures.
