"In the late 1990s, right at the height of the Disney Renaissance and
before American animation diverged into snappy comedies and more serious
adventures, the short-lived Turner Animation and Warner Bros. Pictures
released Cats Don’t Dance, an homage to the Golden Age of Hollywood.
It’s a rare animated musical that doesn’t chase after Disney
sensibilities. Instead, with its cast of talking animals leading a
surprisingly elevated story, the movie feels like a relic of a previous
era of animation, where anthropomorphic animals were more common leading
heroes than human protagonists.

Cats Don’t Dance received good reviews, and snagged top awards. But
before it even came out, the film was doomed to fail by its production
company."

Uninterested executives strike again.

Share and enjoy,
