Cats

A tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and return to a new life. The magical event, the Jellicle Ball, happens once a year. This year, however, an outcast cat named Old Deuteronomy must make the choice, and the decision is complicated by the return of Macavity, a villainous cat who wants to steal the prize for himself.

Cats was met with widespread critical derision, with particular criticism directed at its visual effects, jarring tone, and nonsensical plot. It was a significant box office bomb, grossing only $73.8 million against a production budget of $100 million, making it one of the biggest theatrical flops of all time.

• Widely panned for its bizarre visual effects, unsettling character designs, and lack of coherent narrative.

• Criticized for its confusing plot and tone, which veered wildly between serious and campy.

• Audiences and critics alike found the musical numbers and performances to be overshadowed by the poorly executed CGI.

Google audience: Google users expressed significant disappointment with the film, citing the unnerving CGI and the overall lack of enjoyment. While a small percentage found some entertainment value, the overwhelming sentiment was negative, with many finding the film bizarre and unappealing.

Nominated for nine Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, and Worst Actress.

The visual effects were so heavily criticized and poorly received that the studio attempted to release an updated version with improved CGI, but it was too late to affect the initial theatrical run.
