Cats trailer: New look at musical film compared to 'demented dream ballet' by horrified viewers

Proceed with caution

The forthcoming Cats film has a brand new trailer that’s been released months after the first sparked reactions of extreme confusion among viewers.

This new clip of Tom Hooper’s musical adaptation treats film fans to a fresh look at the feline characters played by Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson and Idris Elba.

In July, the first trailer caused viewers to express their shock regarding the CGI human-cat hybrids featured in the film. One Twitter user described it as a “demented dream ballet”.

Since then, the film has garnered something of a cult fanbase months before it’s even released.

The film, which also stars Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, James Corden and Jason Derulo, is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1981 musical of the same name.

Cats will be released on 20 December, 2019.
