    • Trivia
      On 21 December 2019, a mere two days after its release, Universal Pictures announced they would be releasing a new version with updated CGI at an undisclosed time.
    • Goofs
      A few calico cats, including Mungojerrie, are male. Although the nature of chromosomes causes most calico cats to be female, it is a little known fact that male calico cats can exist, although they are extremely rare.
    • Quotes

      Victoria: But the memories were lost long ago. So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens without any opening credits. The title of the film is stated just before the closing credits.
    • Alternate versions
      An "completely finished" version, which improves the VFX, replaces the "Early Preview" version with the use of the Digital Cinema Package (DCP) that with downloaded onto a satellite server after the opening weekend, as demanded by Universal Studios International (UIP). Hard drives copies will be released at indie cinemas on Christmas Eve.

    In the Litter Box
    CGI mess of a movie with caterwauling "stars" in ugly costumes and abysmal dance numbers based on the hit Broadway musical.

    The movie is ugly to look at and is an assault on the ears with Jennifer Hudson screaming at the top of her lungs and every other "singer" shown in loving close-up as they mug through their numbers. This includes Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, Taylor Swift and others.

    Really, I thought Hudson was trying to cough up a hairball. She should have. It would have been the highlight of the film.
