WILL THE STRANGE, MAGICAL AND MUSICAL THEMES OF CATS BORE KIDS?

Aussie boy's thoughts
They should make a boring musical about magical, singing dogs so the whole ‘cats vs. dogs’ thing is more even. If you’re wandering whether you should watch this musical adaptation, there’s one word you’ll need to take with you: Don’t!
Despite its talented cast, Cats is honestly a really creepy and strange musical for families. What makes this film strange and creepy is the magic, as well as the actual human-cat-singers themselves. They’re totally unfunny and the whole story is overlong. Actually, the film is overlong; there is no story at all. And even if there was a story, it would be ruined and unrecognised thanks to the constantly boring singing. So don’t go home and get angry at your cat because of some really bad musical.
But that’s only if you own a cat. If you’re a cat-lover, please don’t feel like you need or have to watch this film to prove your love for cats. Cats is just a bunch of kitty-dressed humans doing boring dances and singing songs that’ll most likely bring you right away from the screen, so don’t pay for this movie without a single part of your mind telling you that you won’t be shaken up after the first 10 minutes.
Without a story, Cats is completely pointless. The whole film is horrendously boring and is a perfect way to waste your money.
