Cats
You will believe.
Directed by Tom Hooper
Produced by Universal Pictures, Perfect World Pictures
A visually disorienting musical adaptation that aims for whimsy and spectacle but lands in uncanny territory, driven by high energy and bizarre cat-human imagery.
A tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new Jellicle life.
