Memorable Movie Moments
These are some memorable moments and things to look for in the CATS video. Some were discovered by me, some by cats from other websites, some by my friends...I made sure all of them were true before putting them up, however!
***
o In "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," Jennyanydots sings a really high note, and Pouncival covers his ears
o In "The Naming of Cats," when they all sing 'some for the gentlemen,' they zoom in on Grizabella(although she's not technically Grizabella yet), and when they sing 'some for the dames,' they zoom in on Old Deuteronomy
o When Victoria is doing the splits, her face tightens up, as if in pain
o In "The Old Gumbie Cat," Mistoffelees acts as if the song’s about him until Munkustrap mentions the name ‘Jennyanydots.’
o During "The Old Gumbie Cat," Rumpelteazer makes fun of Munkustrap
o When the kittens dress up as mice, Jemima has trouble putting her mask on the first try
o Dressed as a cockroach, Pouncival attempts revenge on Jennyanydots by trying to skewer her with his fork
o Before his attempt to skewer Jennyanydots, you can see the Pouncival cockroach hiding at the side of the stage, away from the others
o When Rum Tum Tugger enters, Tumblebrutus does a flip off his previous perch and onto the floor
o When Rum Tum Tugger kicks the ball at the beginning of his song, it almost hits Mistoffelees
o Alonzo has a ying-yang on the back of his head
o In "The Rum Tum Tugger," Demeter hisses at Rum Tum Tugger
o During "The Rum Tum Tugger," Tugger takes something off his shoe and feeds it to Etcetera
o During the song, Tumblebrutus, Pouncival, and Plato swoon over Rum Tum Tugger
o At the end of "The Rum Tum Tugger," Etcetera falls over
o During "Bustopher Jones," Mistoffelees follows Bustopher around and plays with Bustopher’s tail
o When Bustopher sings about ‘cabbage, rice pudding, and mutton," Mistoffelees licks his lips
o In "Bustopher Jones," when Jennyanydots sings, ‘And he’s putting on weight every day," Electra looks as if she just had a sharp intake of breath
o Bustopher’s spoon knocks Pouncival over
o When Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer sing about ‘The joint is gone from the oven like that,’ Rumpelteazer lets her toungue hang out
o During "Old Deuteronomy," when Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer are resting on the car, they switch places a couple of times
o While Munkustrap is reciting the title of "The Pekes and the Pollicles," Mistoffelees and Skimbleshanks run across the stage holding their ‘braw Scottish cousin’ costumes
o When Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer portray the first Peke and Pollicle, Munkustrap waves his paws, as if prompting them to glare at each other
o Even though the Peke is a ‘Heathen Chinese,’ there’s a part in the song the Pollicles sing about there being dogs ‘even from China and Spain.’
o The Rumpus Cat crashes on the opposite side of the stage from the other Jellicles
o Watch the Rumpus Cat’s head and back. There’s a wire.
o After the second "Macavity!", Mistoffelees hides behind Deuteronomy, who gives Mistoffelees a look. Mistoffelees gives Deuteronomy a "What?" look.
o Old Deuteronomy is wearing tennis shoes
o During "The Jellicle Ball" (the dancing, not the singing) Bombalurina hisses at Alonzo
o Contrary to popular belief, Victoria is NOT the first to touch Grizabella in a nice way. Demeter is. Watch her before the song "Grizabella."
o Before Jemima sings "Memory" the first time, Tantomile helps her up
o After the singing, Tantomile collapses, and you see her and Jemima’s heads together, as if they are "talk"-ing
o When Jellylorum sings about Gus’s club taking place at a pub, she gives Gus a disapproving look
o During "Skimbleshanks," Electra and Cassandra switch places, and Electra bribes Skimbleshanks into letting her off the hook
o When all the female cats lay down on their stomachs, Cassandra uses that opportunity to move her tail out from between her legs
o After Rumpelteazer sneezes, Victoria looks surprised
o After Skimbleshanks sings, ‘For Skimble won’t let anything go wrong!’ Admetus (in the background) shakes his head
o When Skimbleshanks sings about, ‘Only stopping here and there to catch a flea,’ Cassandra picks something off of Tumblebrutus’s head
o While Munkustrap and Macavity fight over Demeter, Alonzo runs in and carries her off
o Everyone hates Macavity—even Jennyanydots and Jellylorum swipe their claws at him
o Munkustrap joins Demeter and Bombalurina in singing a "girly" part in "Mr. Mistoffelees"—the ‘ooh-ahs’
o One of Mistoffelees’s lightning bolts doesn’t work, and he glares at the things on his fingers shooting the bolts
