Visual Effects Artist For 'Cats' Confirms That A 'Butthole Cut' Of The Film Does Indeed Exist—And It Sounds Even Worse Than We Imagined

Visual Effects Artist For 'Cats' Confirms That A 'Butthole Cut' Of The Film Does Indeed Exist—And It Sounds Even Worse Than We Imagined
Universal Pictures

You know, it's hard to imagine a worse version of the Cats movie.

The first version released in theaters already had incomplete CGI, which puzzled everybody. Why didn't they just wait until the movie was finished to release it in theaters?

Well... it seems like they were too focused on the buttholes.


Yes, the previously leaked rumor turns out to be true.

Apparently, in an initial draft of the movie, the CGI cats had CGI buttholes.

The visual effects department, or VFX, of the film, found this information out the hard way while watching an initial cut.

"When we were looking at the playbacks, we were like, 'What the hell? You guys see that?!'"

"We paused it," an anonymous source told The Daily Beast.

"We went to call our supervisor, and we're like, 'There's a f**king @$hole 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**king butthole in there.' It wasn't in your face—but at the same time, too, if you're looking, you'll see it."





The rumors about this particular cut of the film have been circulating since earlier this month, when Jack Waz took to Twitter, saying a "friend of a friend" had given him the deets.





Reportedly, the VFX situation on Cats was brutal and unforgiving.

The source also told The Daily Beast that the situation was "almost slavery," and that "recalled working 90-hour weeks for months."

"Some colleagues, they recalled, stayed in the office for two or three days at a time, sleeping under their desks. But worst of all, the source said, was the treatment visual effects staff received from Tom Hooper. The director, the source alleged, has no idea how animation works—but that did not stop him from sending crew members individual emails denigrating their work."





Cats was a thorny production all over, and now, we have confirmation that the buttholes were in fact a part of that.

Late 2019-2020 in the history books is going to be one of the weirdest chapters for future students.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
