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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
