about the cats video, i know lindsay ellis made a video essay on cats that mentions tom hooper taking out the queer subtext but it’s not really the point of the video, it’s more about every thing he did wrong in general. it’s a good video but not sure it’s what you’re looking for. it’s also possible you’ve already watched her video so sorry. since i don’t have anything else for that i’ll just recommend sidways’ video about the music in the movie and how tom hopper complete messed it up in case you’re interested in that as well

I’ve watched Lindsay Ellis’s video and I’m actually currently watching Sideways’s video! Both very good, although I will say that as someone who got her introduction to musical theatre through Cats Lindsay Ellis’s tone when talking about the musical comes across as almost mocking in a way that I very much did not like. Her thoughts on the movie are good, but... yeah, she doesn’t have a high opinion of the musical and it does show when she’s talking about both it and its fans. It might just be me, though. I’m enjoying Sideways’s a lot more, anyway, it’s fascinating (and making me wonder if my uni has courses on music theory and such). But what I’d like to find is a video comparing both Les Mis and Cats and going into how Hooper in both films completely cut out the queer subtext, removing pretty much all of Grantaire’s lines in Les Mis and giving both Tugger and Misto no homo moments and changing the singer of Magical Mister Mistoffelees in Cats. I just want to watch someone eloquent and intelligent talk about the vast amounts of no homo in Hooper’s work, honestly.
