‘Cats’ VFX Artist Confirms They Edited Buttholes Out of the Film – 929nin.com

In the dumpster fire that is Tom Hoopers adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webers hit Broadway musicalCats,no news is too shocking. From itsvery first trailer, the Universal-produced movie became the butt of every joke. The horrific animation alone was enough to spawn its own category of memes. But even months (and six Razzie Awards) later,Catsis still managing to ruffle the fur of those who worked on the project. In a new interview withThe Daily Beast, an anonymous source gave the scoop on the elusive "Butthole Cut" ofCats.

What is the Butthole Cut, you may ask? According to the source, the cats anatomically correct rear ends werespotted around halfway through the VFX process. They were never a part of Hoopers artistic vision, but still ended up becoming visible. Said the source: There was nobody that said, We want buttholes. It was one of those things that just happened and slipped through. Once discovered, it became the VFX teams job to painstakingly remove every single one.

However, the most unfortunate part of thecursed film wasn't the unsightly animation it was the fact thatthe VFX artists werent even given a fighting chance to do their jobs well. Part of that was attributed to Hooper, who was relentless in his criticism of the movies visual effects. According to the source:

It was pure, almost slavery for us, how much work we put into it with no time, and everything was difficult. We were so rushed on the project that wed have no time for anything. So when people say, Oh, the effects were not good, or The animations not good, or anything, thats not our fault. We have no time.

Rebel Wilson and James Corden got laughs at this years Academy Awards when they came on stage in their feline ensembles topresent the award for Best Special Effects.As cast members of the motion pictureCats, they said, nobody more than us understands the importance ofgood visual effects." Butthe more we hear about the grueling conditionsits VFX workers were put under, thejoke gets less and less funny.
