Well, it’s here. The much-anticipated Cats trailer was released on Friday, July 19, and the internet may never fully recover. The live-action adaptation of the famed Broadway musical stars a slew of A-listers, including, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, Idris Elba and more. However, people were so distracted by the CG fur and nightmarish vision of these actors turned into felines that it was hard to pay attention to Jennifer’s gorgeous rendition of “Memories.” Are we still going to see this movie when it comes out in December? Hell yeah. Will we be haunted by the images every single day until then? Also, yes. Keep scrolling to see the best reactions to the Cats trailer on Twitter!

Are We Being Dramatic?

The dancing and music are simply breathtaking. We can overlook some creepy CG effects, right? …. Right?

Um, You OK?

There’s a fine line between CG effects being too real and not realistic enough. Cats is really tiptoeing it.

This Is Actually Happening

From the Lion King to Mulan, live-action remakes are all the rage right now. Is Cats taking the trend a little too far?

This Is Not a Drill

In the stage rendition of Cats, the actors wore spandex costumes. Would this have been a better option than tapping into new technology? That’s for the fans to decide.

Oh wow I love @taylorswift13 but I will absolutely not being seeing Cats. The clips of the trailer I’ve seen are nightmare inducing

Top Billing

The cast list is absolutely star-studded, which makes it more tempting to rush to the theaters. However, some social media users expressed being so turned off by the look of it that they don’t even want to see it.

Not All Bad

Although people are fully aware that it’s terrifying to watch, diehard fans of the musical are into it.

Sleep With the Lights On

If you don’t believe the hype surrounding the trailer … you obviously haven’t watched it yet.

Danny DeVito's Penguin vibes in this. I can't stop torturing myself with this #Cats trailer even though it's terrifying. pic.twitter.com/tTGiQfjAFT

That Is Not Danny DeVito

We repeat: That is not Danny DeVito. The Late Late Show host has taken on the comedic role of Bustopher Jones.

‘Cats’ Is Living in 3019

James expressed in a behind-the-scenes video for the film that this technology that “has never been used before.” Perhaps for good reason …

Have We Seen This Before?

The movie could’ve saved a significant chunk of change by filming it with an iPhone.

It was one thing to watch the Cats trailer when I knew what I was clicking on, but the thought of it playing for innocent movie goers without any warning is too much to handle.

The Chaos

Imagine sitting in a theater waiting for a different movie and then Judi Dench pops up as a cat who’s wearing a fur coat. WHY DOES A CAT NEED A FUR COAT?
