[@venuswashername]

LITERALLY 💀

[@annakaro9081]

As cute as he is, he's a completely different character. I would have enjoyed seeing a shy and clumsy but talented magician in some other movie. Misto, according to his description, was quiet, small, mysterious and clever. He knew what he was doing, and he was the only one who knew what he was doing, and that made him purrfect.

[@luluharper640]

Agreed.

[@praguepride9350]

It's like they looked at one of broadway's biggest smash hits and thought "eh, we can do it better. Chuck all the notes into the garbage." I mean for Macavity's song the lyric is: "Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin" and they made him big and black. /sigh

[@Benjamin1986980]

I think that sums up the movie completely. Some of the ideas were good and would have been fine in a spin-off or vaguely related tale, but what they gave us wasn't cats and it wasn't anything else either leaning to a discombobulated mess

@@KevinMuller5 I can't tell about her acting because most of the movie is singing, but she's one of the few who came out with dignity when it was over. Her solo singing the one line in this song was probably one of the few actual emotional moments in the movie.

I'm so mad they took anything remotely interesting away from Mr. Mistofelees. Just bland, generic, Hollywood BS. But what do we expect from a director who doesn't understand how musicals work, let alone the effing source material, let alone the lyrics to "memory." Seriously, I hated this movie before I ever saw the original show and it's no wonder everyone hates it but little girls & Taylor Swift fans.

[@cosmicjesus2218]

@@greydsmarin9994 No you're right, but like the commenter below said, it just takes away anything interesting from the portrayal of the characters. That and Rum Tum Tugger is supposed to be singing this about Mistofelees and it's very...flamboyant and 80s lol. The 2016 revival plays them a bit more flirty tho and the fans of the musical have come to expect that at this point. But it's just up to interpretation.

[@SingingSealRiana]

@@Deejaay83urj38 but everything is wrong with riding them of their dynamic. It is a huge part of Tuggers character, that he totaly adores both old deuteronemy and Misto . . .

As much as I'm not really a fan of the Mistoffelees and Victoria romance, I do really love the inclusion of the lyrics "A cat so clever, so clever, as you..." I'm soft for that line and I'm man enough to admit it.

[@tri-sapphire878]

And his "As me" with the harmony was nice as well IMO. Would have been better if he'd finished the musical phrase instead of just that one short note though.

[@APenguinsLullaby]

@@tri-sapphire878 Honestly, I don't like that. Mister Mistoffelees was always super confident, like, he didn't say anything (other then presto) because he didn't need to. He knew he was great, why would he need to be convinced that he was great? I guess I'm just sad that they stripped away all of his flamboyant owning of the stage in preference of a lack of confidence. I don't need to relate to him, I need to be wonderstruck like the other cats, because that's what the audience is supposed to be. Angelical cats. As the intro song alludes to.

[@tri-sapphire878]

@@APenguinsLullaby In some performances, Mistoffelees does sing parts of his song (and seems loudly boastful of the whole roof thing). Just like in some performances, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteezer's song is either sung by Mungojerrie alone, or by a separate cat. I don't like the whole clutz thing they did with him, but I did like that line at the end and just wish he held the note longer.

[@klebersoares526]

Same here

[@colorlessoz]

Yeah I think I'll stick to the version where Mr. Mistofelees knows he's the hot stuff and the people sing his praises not sing to encourage someone unsure of himself.

[@nikofaershee4235]

I can't belive they had a cat with magical powers and what they did to help him easier for the audience to relate with is making him straight

[@filidolphini]

ok but they butchered my man Mistoffelees. he’s so SOOOO incredibly ooc.

[@KenickieXRizzoFan]

Nope he's the most accurate to the poem, he is supposed to be super shy and aloof

[@sansdr.philpillow9347]

@@KenickieXRizzoFan I just read through the poem, there is only one mention of shyness in the line "You would think there was nobody shyer", which is then followed up by "But his voice has been heard on the roof". When the phrase "you would think" is used, it's followed up by a common misconception. In the original poem and in most productions, Mr. Mistoffelees is very quiet, but not because he's nervous and shy, he just prefers some level of solitude most of the time.

[@mothersuperior2673]

Like why does he seem to not know what he's doing when he's supposed to be a master magician what

[@Yokanata]

Okay but I’m sad he didn’t do his jazz ballet dance and he didn’t say “PRESTO” at the end 😿

jeff lol he did do it positively in les miserables, but in here he supposedly did it well when directing the actors (though questionable when it comes to clumsy scenes) BUT IDIOTICALLY NOT when directing the cgi motion capture

[@SarahEHughes123]

Honestly this scene in the original had better effects lol and it didn’t have all this cgi 😂 like my boi Mistoffelees had lightning bolts coming from his hands and had sparkles created when he did magic, not to mention at the end of his song he literally does the most magical looking ‘disappearing ‘ scene. Lol

[@cupids_favourite_aro4578]

How did i just realize that the cats all having human hands is really weird? Like, in the show, they're all human enough that their more human features, like hands, don't stand out too much. But in this, when misto's holding the cards and the dice, seeing his hands makes me uncomfortable.

[@TheAmityElf]

I like a lot of things about this. I like that Munkustrap started the song; that was interesting. I do think it was a mistake to completely cut Tugger out of it, excepting his adlibbed notes in the chorus. And I do wish Mistoffelees had gotten to run up and hug Old Deuteronomy. But the emotions were good.

[@cosmicjesus2218]

I just think the director sucked all of the life out of this number because they interrupt it too many times and only sing the chorus over and over again. Having Tugger sing this in the stage show brings it much more character. Though with what they were working with, the performers did a good job.

[@yellowsnake7300]

@@KenickieXRizzoFan the poem says, “you would think there was nobody shyer” followed by, “but his voice can be heard on the roof”. Think, implying he is not actually shy. In the original poem, he appeared shy because he was quiet and kept to himself, but he was actually a mad magical genius. One who was CONFIDENT. Aloof implies a coolness under pressure and holding oneself with dignity, head held high. So no, this version is not like the poem. This version is a nervous wreck that is a complete misinterpretation of his character because someone saw the word shy in his bio and said, “All right, that’s his character!”

The actor that played Mr Mistoffelees really nailed it and the part where Victoria sings to support him was just wonderful.

[@hollum1648]

I love it too and I was totally not expecting to... like I know it’s super weird and kind of ugly but I love it anyway?? All the actors and dancers did a fantastic job. So happy for my boy Mistoffelees in this scene 🥰

[@Redroses334]

Your not the only one I love this movie and the musical I thought it was cute I can relate more to mistoffelees my confidence isn't the greatest eather sometimes you need support from family and friends to help you succeed

[@onyx_alagasia]

I find it really frustrating that they didn't include any version of the conjuring turn, but still had Munkustrap reference it. Since Cats is a usually a live show, no performance or cast is the same, but Mistoffelees is always a role which is mainly dance-based, and he always has an absolutely breathtaking conjuring turn. It shows an inability in either the director or actor. Either the director was so stupid that he didn't realize what a staple the turn is, or yet another actor was incapable of preforming dance in a hollywood version of a *musical.* Most of the actors simply didn't have the experience or skillet to be in a musical, but were cast due to their influence.

[@jakeindalake3191]

I thought this was adorable af , shoot me.

[@jasminenicholl6138]

Jake indalake I thought it was too

This is why we don't take drugs children

[@Boygonebad]

This is my favorite song from musical and they just looped the chorus 🤦‍♂️

[@katieschexnayder4690]

They made him anxious instead of aloof and I will not stand for it

[@FernelliPearl]

What did you do to one of my favorite songs, Tom Hooper?! This was one of my audition songs many moons ago ugh

[@arrozconleche8246]

*pulls up* Get in, we're going to Tom Hooper's house to murder him

[@kyburz2008]

Arroz con Leche i call shotgun

[@Deelusi]

1:06 I was hoping for Rum Tum Tugger to sing and encourage him but no, you just have to make this musical worst.

[@DAOXINNo15]

The original broadway of cats Mr. Mistoffelees: Look I can shoot lighting out of my paws!! OwO look at me using MaGiC!! Owo LOOK AT ME BRINGING BACK OUR HEAD CAT OUT OF NOWHERE WITH EASE!! OWO!!! Cats (2019) Mr Mistoffelees: ToT I'm baby. I can't do magic owo I am scawed o,w,o

[@guimarq]

Out of all the nightmare fuel that this movie brings, I find Mr. Mistoffelees pretty adorable and well designed (maybe because he's wearing clothes). The acting's pretty nice too.

[@emilycarter3852]

Ok this movie as a whole is something of a nightmare but I will admit him having a pencil as a lil wand is cute

[@cardwitch91]

How did they manage to turn one of the biggest show stoppers where the big show-off cat bigs up his magical bff/friendly rival/boyfriend into... this? Seriously, I haven't watched Cats since I was 8 but I still remember liking THIS song the best because Misto was doing all sorts on stage, like a real magic show.

[@CeltycSparrow]

As Queen Clarisse once said....."A QUEEN is never late. Everyone else is simply....early. I'm glad Mr. Mistoffelees got his magical mojo back though. :) You can feel the hope being restored as they sing.

[@geneievesakthy5033]

I love Mr Mistoffelees, he is so cute and nervous.❤️❤️❤️❤️ Don't hate me if u feel otherwise.

[@geneievesakthy5033]

@Anna Magni I'm not sure about the musical version cuz I have never seen it before.

[@geneievesakthy5033]

@Anna Magni Sure,why not.Thanks 4 the recommendation.I will surely enjoy myself.

[@geneievesakthy5033]

@Anna Magni Thanks, actually do u have any website u can recommend for me to search

[@geneievesakthy5033]

@Anna Magni Thank you very much 😊😊😀😀

[@chloeburrescia9001]

I like him too, he's cute and he gets nervous to perform like me

[@warhamsterful]

This isn't how i remember it lol. What happened to Rum Tum Tugger?

[@em5522]

Yeah! And what happened to the rest of the lyrics?

[@cosmicjesus2218]

They made this scene boring and straightTM

[@ZaraIgrayne]

0:28 Daaaaammm Jasón be hitting those notes 👌

[@КонстантинВоробьёв-у6ъ]

Imagine if he first unintentionally return Gus, and then find out that Old D. is on the plank right now, and with helping from Gus singing along with others, he finally returns Deuteronomy. Because he said earlier in the film that he is a big fan of Gus.

[@hayleymason7694]

Ruined it.. absolutely ruined it.... Now where’s my musical Rum Tum Tugger at 😁

[@king_afton_1971]

😂

[@elle-iza]

Considering the zeitgeist I was super surprised that they didn't take the underlying romance between Mistoffelees and Tugger and make it in-your-face loud in the movie.

[@ryanslade8073]

I haven't seen this yet and after listening to this song I never want to.the life has been sucked out that song

[@alexisclinton717]

My most favorite song of the entire musical destroyed!

[@micaelaroyo4837]

I think maybe the worst part is that when they're singing it seems like it's all in one continued breath. Like "ohwellneverwasthereeveracatsocleverasmagicalmrmistofelees" instead of taking a break and actually give it a beat

[@jackielecza7160]

I believe the musical word you're looking for is staccato my friend. Not only are they not on beat and singing in one breath, they're not making their constants harsh or clear which ruins the chorus.

[@lailahbezan4833]

I feel personally violated every time any of the cats rub noses

[@idawik7126]

I am proud of this movie

[@Redroses334]

❤❤❤

[@aetherm4737]

~ the magical mr mistoffelees ~ he is p r o u d ~ he is g a y ~ he is h e r e f o r i t now... grrr...

[@yom_yomii]

He’s not

[@kp4692]

Can’t believe they freaking straightwashed him!

[@showandtell1313]

ok, mistoffelees saying 'thats me!' is pretty cute. i'll give them that.

[@-Clutch-]

When even was that??

[@showandtell1313]

2:12

[@cease842]

Laurie Davidson is so cute, I can’t believe he’s in this movie

[@spacelasertech8359]

Wait, I wanted to see the 2019 Cats. This is very clearly an elementary school production of Cats with a budget of $17 and costumes sourced from the parents' wardrobes.

[@i_escaped_area_5128]

I am upset thag Tugger didn't sing this, but Victoria's actress has an amazing voice

[@memsthememe-4743]

When you realize that it’s Jason Derulo who’s singing the high pitched vibrato in the background :(

[@flagellationynfluencia1971]

I knew it! He's a handsome actor and the cat is so handsome either.

[@amaccoy]

Is his magic wand a pencil? Because that's adorable.

[@milalondt2395]

I love it how during the song, Jason derulo is just singing high in the backround

[@averevolution301]

I wish a cute cat girl would sing to me like that

[@katylepetsos7512]

The cats in this movie compared to the stage production are just plain ugly

[@springyslinky2190]

🤮

[@crimsonstang]

Um... Why does the cat at 1:32 have a gold tooth?

[@jackielecza7160]

Bruh in the ballroom scene some of the cats are just straight up wearing Nike's lmaoo

[@trvia]

Never in my life have I wanted someone to kill off a character so bad.

[@b.d6642]

Wait, if mistoffeles has an arc in this movie, and develops in this scene, then why wasn't the movie about him? It's not like they cared about changing the story to fit mainstream audiences

[@alittlecatinthedark]

love this number. such a beautiful homage to the original!

[@zebrafish7267]

Can I just point out that his ears poke out through his hat, even though there's no holes for his ears?

[@arrozconleche8246]

ikr

[@-Clutch-]

There are holes can’t you see?

[@iknowyou9522]

I love Mr.Mistofelees
