Is it just me or does something seem off about the motion capture / animation? At 29s after Judi Dench says "I judge a cat by its soul", left cat's animation looks reversed. Then, a second later after Jason Derulo says "I've got plenty of soul", him landing on the car looks way too light, like he decelerates before landing.
For a movie based on a broadway musical, I'd hope the dancing is really well done. For me anyway, the trailer seemed like they enhanced a lot of the dancing with CGI, which puts the whole thing squarely in the uncanny valley and ruins it. I hope I'm wrong, and those are just awkward cuts for the trailer.
I'm not part of that world either but I remember when the original was a staple of the Broadway / NYC tourist scene. It was weird and uncanny too, just minus the CGI aspect. Having never actually...

I have a friend who's into musicals and is damn near traumatized at this point.
I know absolutely nothing about the musical, so this is the weirdest damn thing I've ever seen in my entire life. And I truly mean that.
