Cats Don’t Dance is free with ads on YouTube. Please watch it if you’ve never seen it. It’s one of WB’s best 2D animated movies next to The Iron Giant. It’s topical because it’s the most DEI movie with talented anthros being overlooked for humans.

And I think Osmosis Jones, but not only is this a 00's (though it did also suffer from traces of Warner Bros.'s 90s marketing), but.... well, it's Osmosis Jone. I don't think people will lose sleep over this film. 😅
I grew up with it on VHS assuming it was as famous as any Disney movie. Glad it’s getting a cult following too. I loved it already as a kid, but I loved it even more when I noticed its not-so-subtle allegory.
It shares overlapping themes with Transformers ONE. While Cats Don't Dance is a song of sadness, TF ONE erupts into a extremely justifiable rage towards a system that treats the working class so poorly.
If you can get your hands on the DVD copy there is some bonus content including the original theatrical trailer, which is HORRIBLE. Like seriously, it is SO BAD. WATCH IT. I honestly think this alone explains why such a phenomenal movie bombed in theaters.
I discovered the movie becuase of the trailer in the Space Jam VHS. I was a kid and anything pretty and colorful got my attention. It’s funny how so much of it relies on the narrator and not the dialogue. https://youtu.be/EAet5fsSYbc?si=v9v0PkDBgspCTLAF
There’s so many sound bites by the characters that give the gist of the plot. Danny’s conversation with Woolie in his trailer can easily be edited into a trailer without giving away the whole movie.
I didn't know she did work on that movie. I did know that one character had Jasmine Guy for her speaking voice. Jasmine Guy played Roxie from the short-lived HBO dark comedy series Dead Like Me.
The concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion is about providing full participation of people from different backgrounds and the movie is about Danny wanting Hollywood being more inclusive of animals instead of just giving them minor and demeaning roles.

I DON'T CARE.
Saberspark would be proud. 🤣
I'm really glad it has a cult following and not just for a certain community on the internet...
Beyond spoiled now, but in a few years she'll be met with tragedy.
