Скачать или смотреть Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench on why the negativity around Cats is wrong

Tom Hooper's big-screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic stage musical Cats is a visual spectacle.

Starring Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Jason Derulo, Jennifer Hudson, Rebel Wilson, James Corden, Idris Elba, Taylor Swift, and introducing Francesca Hayward, it has a stellar cast who are transformed into human-cat hybrids through groundbreaking new visual technology.

But when the first trailer landed, people didn't quite know what to make of the human-cat forms at the centre of this much-loved story.

We recently sat down with Dame Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen to talk about the new blockbuster musical and what their reaction was to seeing the cat forms of themselves for the first time, as well as the reaction of everyone else.
