The Take
Cats is not worth watching. The Slop Score sits at 93.
A committee-rendered musical adaptation strings half-remembered songs together with uncanny valley cat suits that look like fever dreams in motion.
The Verdict
Skip it. The 93 slop score reflects marketing hype that delivered jowls in shambles and ancestors demanding refunds.
Watch The Lion King (2019) instead for actual animals and fewer fever dreams.
