#CatsMovie
The horrifying CGI in the Cats movie trailer traumatized the internet.
Origin & Impact
When the first trailer for the Cats movie adaptation dropped in July 2019, the internet reacted with horror and confusion at the uncanny valley CGI used to transform actors into human-cat hybrids. The “digital fur technology” created nightmarish visuals that became instant meme fodder.
The hashtag exploded with jokes, parodies, and genuine concern about what audiences had just witnessed. Despite (or because of) the backlash, Cats became one of the most-discussed films of 2019, ultimately bombing at the box office but achieving cult status as a spectacular failure.
