Bro holy crap this is so moving

Cats should have been a 2D animated movie like The Lion King.

While I understand that adapting this musical into a feature film would be no walk in the park because the musical doesn’t tell much of a story. It’s really a series of different songs and dances with a little hint of a story. So while that works on stage, not so much on film. But recently I watched the 1973 feature film version of Godspell. As I observed, it too doesn’t tell much of a story. It was really a series of musicalized versions of parables from St. Matthew’s Gospel but toward the end it briefly retells the Passion. Whether you enjoyed the movie or not is your opinion, but I think what made it work on film was that it used a framing device. After a short prologue, the actor that was first in the role of John the Baptist, pops up in certain areas in New York City and asks a selection of people to join in the Baptism. The people decide to leave their ordinary responsibilities and then go to Central Park for the Baptism. After that the entire city is empty until the end. What if a movie version of Cats used a concept from Song of the South. Try to picture it; the movie starts in live action and an old timer, possibly Old Possum, telling the different poems to a child. The different stories would be told in 2D animation. Anyone else thinks that this concept could work? What are your two cents

This is amazing!!!

This is the Cats movie we should've got instead of that hot mess with the bad CGI.

This animation captures the spirit of the moment perfectly. And you actually drew Victoria and Jemima as little kittens- this is brilliant!

if they use real cat or animation cat like this in the movie.. i totally cry.. cat have the saddest expression ever

ohhh, this hit me square in the heart. Victoria coming in at the very end to stretch out and headbutt Grizabella is such a beautiful interpretation of what happens in the musical. gosh....ive been a CATS fan since i was just a wee lad. i got to see it at our local civic theatre, and that absolutely cemented it as my favourite musical (the lion king is up there too). but when the recent movie came out, i was horrified. this was nothing like the beautiful choreography and costume and makeup design that i knew from the musical. it was almost like a parody, framed as a genuine attempt. it was disgraceful to this musical that holds such a special place in my heart. but this.... this healed a little part of me that the recent movie had all but stomped out. thank you. this was beautiful.

WOAHHH WHERE ARE THE VIEWS THIS IS PHENOMENAL

I just saw the youth version of this musical and I almost cried watching the actors sing the song. Both my cousins were in the musical. My family were all impressed.

The way the sunlight creeps in behind her. GORGEOUS 😭

What we could have had.

Disney- take notes.

I wonder how you can get the copyright of Memory. I would like to use it for our post, too. I will appreciate it if you would teach us how to do?

This is beautiful. I love how you animated the camera going around Grizabella. Great job :)

Ohh my god this is fantasti-FINNISH NAME???

Yoooo this is superb!!! The cats look so cute and cat like! I love the beautifully painted backgrounds and that rotating shot stunning

Found this video while watching a stream about these two song artists beefing. I'm so glad I did, because that stream was stressful. Btw your art is super smooth and detailed, I love it alot ❤️

I'm gonna cry this is so beautiful ❤️

My eyes are sweating

I find the lip-sync to be a little off at times, but other than that this is very well done. You know, the 2019 movie would've gotten much less backlash if it was more like this.

this is BEAUTIFUL. absolutely stunning, from the animations to designs to the direction of the camera. thank you for giving cats fans a tiny little taste of heaven

I'm going to try one day to convince Andrew. Lloyd webber to make an animated version of cats

Yesssss

late but oh my god??? this is SOOO good the way you draw all the cats is amazing!!

Is Fox Fires 2 coming out yet? Not pressuring you just asking

素晴らしい作品をありがとう！！

I thought this was a Warriors animatic at first 😋

This is insanely good, and deserves WAY more views than it has. Absolutely fantastic, and it is such a shame that they never adapted the musical in a style such as this.

Just found the comic❤ real good

Oooh, love tha animation, excited to see this for foxfires!! Looking forward to getting the books too!! The webtoon series is amazing and if you havent read it i advise you too if you like Pip's work!!

Spielberg was interested in doing an animated film version of Cats in the 1990's for his short-lived animation studio Amblimation. However, after the back-to-back failures of the movies under Amblimation (only three were made, 1991's An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, 1993's We're Back! A Dinosaur Story, and 1995's Balto), the studio went defuncted in 1997 along with the animated Cats movie. Had Spielberg made the Cats animated movie, I feel that it could have saved the animation studio. At least it would have been a thousand times better than the 2019 Tom Hooper movie that we got in 2019. But there's always the 1998 direct to video film that Universal made.

That was possibly the most beautiful webcomic animated trailer ever 🎉❤🥲

I binged the entire webtoon in a few hours it was just too good

very well done, you should try animating the whole musical, would be very interesting to see

Beautiful

I looove this song😻 Very pretty animation! Good job🫡

This version always gives me the chills. Elaine Paige sounds phenomenal.

I've never seen Cats. This was fantastic! You could really see the emotion in your animation!

wonderfull, ya know. So difficult job that 2d animation

This is beautiful

this is so impressive!

I always liked how just when the old and unloved Grizabella has hit rock bottom, the kindness and innocence of Jemima, being the youngest kitten of the tribe, is the one to first show compassion and forgiveness, followed by the older kitten Victoria in taking initiative to welcome Griz back into the tribe. This is what I'd love to see Cats as: a full-length animated film where they really are quadruped felines. You did brilliant with this short animation that captured the spirit of the musical in a whole different way. ❤

0:41 The smile on Grizabella’s face when Jemima acknowledges and sings with her... It's so touching <3

Fox Fires would be *phenomenal* as an animated series or movie

Finally! Its so beautiful to see animations of the musical!!

What we got: Rebel Wilson improv and James Cordon crushing his balls. What we could have gotten:

Ugh!! Jemimas voice always gets me!! You animated her so well!! She’s my favourite of the cats. She’s so cute and sweet. And her being the youngest kitten, she’s unbiased and curious and it warms my heart!
