You didn’t think it could get any better, did you?

The preview gives audiences the first look at the more anatomically correct felines in the film.

Cats bombed in theaters last winter, though found a second life on streaming services as rumblings grew that an early cut of the film featured CGI anuses on the actors. The rumor gained even more momentum as visual effects artists on the film confirmed that they were required to do additional effects touchup late in production to remove what appeared to be genitals from the feline characters. Twitter exploded with fans of the film–including celebrities like Seth Rogan and director Rian Johnson–demanding that Universal release the early cut of the film.
