Why the hell did the movie opt to make Bustopher Jones and Jennyanydots the wacky comic relief when these two were RIGHT THERE?

The beginning: SHHH be quiet, shhh Literally a minute later: *WHEN THE FAMILY ASSEMBLES FOR SUNDAY DINNER*

Them singing be like: Was it mungojerrie? Or RRRrrrUMPleTAYZER

Mungojerrie: *_Prepare for trouble..._* Rumpelteazer: *_Make it DOUBLE!_*

They didn’t do the double cartwheel in the movie, like c’mon guys you had ONE job. If the actors couldn’t have done it, you could’ve CG’d it in.

Cats Movie: wtf Cats Musical: I completely see the appeal

It was Mungojerrie *aAAAAnDD* dDdHhRYUmPleTeeXAr

*beatboxing* Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious... DON'T BE SUSPICIOUS, _DON'T BE SUSPICIOUS_

Coming out of bank robbery in GTA: Friend: ok don't make it too obvious we've stolen anything Me:

Not only do the actors seem to be having an absolute ball with this number, but they both really nailed the sibling feel between Mungo and Rumple!

Jerrie and Teazer: *exist* Munk: "I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory"

I hated them in the movie - they were just evil, arrogant and annoying Here, they are mostly naughty childish siblings having fun. Their dance... WOW!

I can’t even imagine how hard it is to catch your breath quietly during this scene

Mungojerrie invented crop tops

I just love Mungo and his single brain cell and Teazer being the actual most adorable thing and having 2 or maybe 3 brain cells.

iT wOs mUngowjErrie AaAnd rrrrUUUMMpleteazer (This is my favourite part lmao)

The athleticism of these actors blows my mind... I mean all of the actors in this show, but the ones playing Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer specifically cuz they're doing all of acro stuff and you can't tell at all in their singing. They sound incredible

I'd be lying if i said i didnt have a crush on the actors of mungojerrie, rum tum tugger, and mistoffelees growing up

I really like Mungojerrie’s voice because it seems a bit gentle but also mischievous.

ok the guy playing Mungojerrie is really cute and also that accent is doing it for me, like just saying

idk whats with her saying rumpelteazer but i cant stop rewatching

Okay I just noticed that mungojerrie is wearing a crop top

The moment when you realize the bag drops at 0:30 are specifically choreographed to happen on beat...masterful stuff.

did y’all notice that rumpleteazer is wearing the "woolworth pearls" 😂

did anyone else nearly kill their sibling attempting the double cartwheel when they were younger?

when I see these 2 can't help but think of Jessie and James from team rocket

Honestly, goals. If we can work out that double cart wheel, we can work out a marriage.

There’s a lot of comments on who is better, mungojerry or rumpleteaer. but honestly I’ve watched third twenty times and these guys work so well personality wise and synchronized that if you took either one out it just wouldn’t be the same. It’s the chemistry of both that makes this performance stand out so well. I don’t know why we got to compare everyone. They both did a great job.

Personally speaking. This was the highlight of the show. The song is upbeat and jazzy and the two performers both seem to really enjoy doing the number and have a screen chemistry that allows them to really blow everybody else away.

I can imagine real cats having these personalities and picture these movements and inspired by real trouble-making, mischievous cats! Same with every song and performance!

I love that thing that Mungojerrie does at 2:14 with his mouth. He's like "whoa okay get a load of this."

If Jennyanydots is Molly Weasley, these two are Fred and George. Same energy

That double cartwheel was amazing!

Mungojerrie needs more love, the actors performance in this was amazing and i can't get over how both in sync they were

Cats the musical : smash & grab cats Cats the movie : house wreckers

As weird and wacky as this musical is you know very well the actor where having the time of their lives with some of these numbers

Lyrics: Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer we're a notorious couple of cats As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians Tight-rope walkers and acrobats We have an extensive reputation We make their home in Victoria Grove That was merely our center of operation For we are incurably given to rove When the family assembled for Sunday dinner Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on Argentine joint, potatoes and greens Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow "I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow The joint has gone from the oven like that!" Then the family would say, "It's that horrible cat! Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!" And most of the time they'll leave it at that Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer have a wonderful way Of working together And some of the time you would say it was luck And some of the time you would say it was weather We go through the house like a hurricane And no sober person could take his oath Was it Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both? And when you heard a dining room smash Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash Or down from the library came a loud ping From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat? It was Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer And there's nothing at all to be done about that!"

I looove Rumpelteazer BUT MUNGOJERRIE IS UNDERRATED

Mungojerrie sticking his tongue out the entire time is absolutely adorable and no one will be able to convince me otherwise

This song is a bop. I'm guessing they changed it in the 2019 movie cause they couldn't let us enjoy it for a second.

Jo Gibb will always be my favorite Rumple! Her facial expressions and energy along with her amazing talent always blows me away! No one else comes close to her! Just gotta say that the whole Cats cast in this movie is spot on! They really found the best actors around! Ugh im obsessed!

"Prepare for trouble!" "And make it double!"

It just clicked in my head that most objects in the play are scaled to the appropriate size compared to the cats but the pearls Rumpelteazer's wearing fit her. Following the implication they're stolen, that means someone in the household had a cat-sized pearl necklace.

When I first heard this song in the theater I thought Rumpelteazer's name was Baked Potato

I love Rumpleteazer's expression and the choreography was on point

The part that really amazes me is the way they were able to synch up their bags hitting the ground in the beginning lol

This hurts. This absolutely hurts. So sad to see this musical get botched by another one of Hollywood's sad attempts to cash in on what's popular for money. After the movie dropped it seems like the musical it's getting the brunt of the hate and criticism than the movie itself. And that's sad because I was a huge fan of this musical when I was young. For my 19th birthday, my mother took me out to see it live. Never seen or felt so much positivity and good vibes in one theatre. It was just people getting out of there seats to sing, clap, dance, and even giggle a few times. Now instead of singing and clapping, all we will hear is silence mixed with "Is this a cult?" comments. I guess this is what they meant when they say nothing lasts forever.😥

Best version of this song, you can tell the actors love their parts

Rumpleteazer's face when she says: 'ming' I couldn't stop laughing😂

I prefer this version over any version (I wish the rest was uncut though). The actors seem like they enjoy their parts and the choreography is awesome. I'm actually playing Rumpleteazer in my schools rendition and it's so much fun!

I swear to god if they remove this scene from the 2019 movie I am gonna flip

I love this performance because the two are so in sync and there’s clearly a genuine friendship between them.

The movie really did these two dirty. Hooper tried to make them some kind of weird, seductive, evil characters when they're just little shits who knock down vases and steal shiny things. It is not that deep.

There are some roles where a specific actor just owns that role, makes it theirs, makes watching almost anyone else in the role unthinkable. That is somehow the case for EVERY CAT IN THIS DANG SHOW

Having just seen the new version of this song in the new movie I have only one thing I can say. "It was Mungo jerrie and Rumpelteazer......and they REALLY should have left it at that!"

1:31 I'm sorry did you see what she just did. Frickin adorable, I have such a crush.

I love this song, I love these characters, I love the costumes, I love the choreography, I love their accents, I love their mannerisms, I love this show...help

The way she says Rumpelteazer hypnotizes me

Gotta love how all of them are like some cat or other in real life in some way. These two are the crazy, mischievous youngins that steal your food, break stuff, make messes, and yet they’re adorable. Oh and they work together to get all of it done. Bustopher Jones is the cat that’s pampered beyond reason and has rich humans. Macavity is basically just your average misbehaving cat that you can’t seem to tame or train in any way and you don’t even know how he got that way. Pouncival is another mischievous young kitten who doesn’t really know how to behave yet and has way too much energy. Victoria is the young female going into heat for the first time. Basically, all the kittens in the show are like kittens in real life. Rum Tum Tugger is that finicky cat that only wants what he’s not given, basically. Jennyanydots is the one most in tune with her crepuscular nature, and also the weirdo cat that doesn’t seem to want to actually chase anything so much as want to “talk” to typical prey animals. Mr. Mistoffelees is that cat that hides stuff and seemingly disappears every now and again, and you would swear he had some sort of magic powers because you honestly don’t understand how he does what he does. Skimbleshanks is a cat that once lived at a train station and thought he ran the place (and still thinks he did). Grizzabella is a cat that was pampered and beautiful in her youth but then rejected when she got old and now she’s just wanting literally anybody to care about her one last time before she dies (poor thing). Basically, all of them are like cats.

Jerrie 2 seconds in : SHHH- Jerrie less than a millisecond later, screaming : *WHEN THE FAMIL-*

So, Team Rocket then?

i guess you could say they're....... cat burglars

I have to admit “Cats” is so weird but something about it is so intriguing that you can’t help but watch enthusiastically

This is my comfort video

I watched this hundreds of times and I just now realized rumpleteazer is wearing garter and stockings.

Everyone is saying Rumpleteazer is their favourite and that she is the cutest. Yes, she is the cutest, but Mungojerrie is my favourite. I still continuously listen to this song and most of the other Cats songs on repeat.

*giggles* "Shhh!" 2 minutes later... *wE GO THROUGH THE 'OUSE LIKE AN 'URRICAIN!!!*

I love Rumpelteazer’s expressiveness, but Mungojerrie is fine AF! 😍😍😍

Aw the way they jumped was so cool, it really looked like how cats actually jump

I love when they nod to each other. It helps to make it seem like they’re thinking the same thing.

2:27 That "ping!" is so satisfying 😌

I’m here to cleanse myself of Cats (2019)

I love how Mungojerrie says his name lol

This blew my mind as a child. Still does. This entire thing and specifically 3:01 on have lived rent free in my mind since 1998

THE BAGS LAND IN THE BEAT. HOWWW

It always scares me when dancers do that duo cartwheel thing. Like, just imagine two people dressed as cats cartwheeling violently at you as you run in terror

Anybody else come here to enjoy the musical version after seeing the CGI movie trailer mess? This beats the CGI by far in my opinion.

3:07 I dont want to imagine how many times they nearly killed themselves practising that

why is no one talking about their awesome accent

Kid me: cool 18 yr old me: Damn! I can’t imagine how hard this entire musical was to practice!!!

3:02 u just love how she says the name

1:48 Yall talking bout the other "Mungojerrie aaaaaaanddd rumPLETEAZER" But this line right here is- *chef kiss*

Love the Ritz cracker placement right at the start

I’m trying to go to sleep. It’s literally 5:30 in the morning. However, every time I try to close my eyes my brain just goes, “Mungojerry and Ruuuuuuuhuhmmmppleeteaser” So, I’ve just given in and now I’m here.

When rumpleteazer looks at mungojerrie at 3:01😂😂😂😂😂so cute i love these two's chemistry

Amazing sibling chaotic energy. Like seriously this is how I imagine the synchronization that the Kelly sisters had in Chicago (as described in the song “I can’t do it alone”)

Tell me why the fuck am I so attracted to Mungojerrie

i love rumpelteazer’s accent so much

I played Rumpleteazer in my High School's production of Cats and they made Mungojerrie be played by a girl too because I couldn't do the double cartwheel in the end with the original Mungojerrie. And then when at one of the show days, my partner and I fell hard doing the double cartwheel. It's not as easy as people think lol

Okay these two are actually my new favorites because they really are just vibing

Can we take a moment to appreciate how the bags fall on the exact beat?

i grew up watching this Cats Musical movie and absolutely REFUSE to watch the new one and risk ruining my entire childhood of memorizing every damn choreo in this😂

There accents are to die fooorrrr😻

Mungojerrie is so underrated :(( and i just can't understand why. like he had so good moves, his voice was a BOMB and his acting skills are higher than the Sun! this actor was just amazing for Mungojerrie

The (2019) movie version of this had ZERO charm. They literally barely sang it felt like they were glorified talking while stealing shit

I am Jemima in my school musical of CATS and I am absolutely loving it!

Why is the soundtrack version of this completely different. I love this version so much better.

Their voices scratch my brain in the best way

1998: fun and silly theft 2019: they definitely committed a murder

Is no one gonna talk about how the bags hit the ground in time with the beat!
