Tom Hooper’s Cats is deemed as one of the worst films of 2019. Many criticizing its creepy use of visual effects and cringeworthy storyline.
A month ago, an anonymous VFX editor who worked on Cats tell his experience with the film. He dropped the bombshell that his job was to digitally remove the CGI cat's butthole that had been in the models prior. Soon after, the online community stating that they were robbed of potential greatness and began crediting the film’s losses to this very missing aspect with the hashtag #ReleaseTheButtholeCut.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, another VFX editor for Cats openly testified that the inception of the butthole saga transpired in the midst of production and there was no prior directive given to warrant the existence of such travesties. Here’s what the source said:
When we were looking at the playbacks, we were like, “What the hell? You guys see that?!” We paused it. We went to call our supervisor, and we’re like, “There’s a f****** asshole in there! There’s buttholes!” It wasn’t prominent but you saw it… And you [were] just like, “What the hell is that?… There’s a f****** butthole in there.” It wasn’t in your face—but at the same time, too, if you’re looking, you’ll see it.
