https://io9.gizmodo.com/cats-is-a-medieval-morality-play-20-highlights-from-to-1842387249

The film sits in that tradition of the picaresque or sort of medieval morality play, where the hero goes on a physical journey where they meet characters who represent different virtues and vices, and through this learn about their place in the world and learn about some of the pitfalls and opportunities of the world.

Women playing cockroacheswhose only unusual trait is that they have an extra pair of arms, in homage to the cockroach number of limbs.

During the kitchen scene, Jennyanydots (Wilson) unzips her fur skin to reveal a sparkly outfit underneath...and another layer of fur. Hoopers explanation for what might be the movies scariest choice:
This gag is kind of my own tongue-in-cheek way of referencing that Im using digital fur as clothing because Rebel actually unzips her digital fur to reveal it as clothing. But then the joke is that underneath she has more real fur, which of course is not real fur.

From early on, I loved this idea that in a show where most of the songs are addressed to the audience, the surprise would be that Judy Dench as Old Deuteronomy would turn to camera and address the audience directly because this is the one poem where it has to be addressed to a human. Most of the other songs were re-thought where the person being addressed was Victoria, so the listener was not a human but a cat. I love the line Youve learned enough to take the view that cats are very much like you, again as an explanation why our cats are kind of human cats. I suppose were talking about the intersection of cat and human.

This guy sounds like that executive producer of TWD that tanked the series. So full of themselves that despite the obvious failure, they conclude that people just couldn't grasp the artistic vision, etc.

i ain't clicking that, the summary you gave is enough to say the tl;dr is that he's a pretentious furry.

You're all going to be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's
