Cats Don’t Dance (1997)

An allegory for racial discrimination and lack of representation in media, Cats Don’t Dance is an underrated cartoon musical made by Warner Brothers. The story is about a young, poor, naive cat named Danny who moves to Hollywood to fulfill his dream of becoming a star, only to realize that animals aren’t given the same treatment as humans are, and his idol Darla Dimple isn’t what she seems. Filled with innocent humour, supreme colouring, and stunning musical numbers, Cats Don’t Dance unfortunately premiered at the same time as Hercules, forever making it an underappreciated movie.

Unfortunately, this is the fullscreen version. The widescreen version is out of print and hard to find.

Holy cow!! It’s the whole movie! Guys, watch it if you haven’t! Or bookmark it at least!

If you haven’t seen this movie, you should. It’s incredibly undervalued. Darla Dimple’s showpiece from 35:20 to 39:30 is one of the finest sequences in feature animation.
