Cats (2019) is a big-budget film based upon the long-running musical about a group of felines that live together and long for a chance for rebirth. Despite a cast that includes such names as Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Francesca Hayward and Rebel Wilson, this Cats fails to land on its paws and falls, hard. Sadly, even a re-release that attempts to clean up unforgiving CGI mishaps might not save Cats from being dated, dull and misguided. Taylor Swift tries to elevate the film but she's not given enough screen time for such a herculean labor. Even fans of the original musical will wonder at this poor production and struggle to find something redeeming. Stick with the original.

Question: Much is said about the infamous first released version with Judy Dench's real hand instead of a CGI paw, but I'm watching that same version now and ALL of the cats have real human hands. How is this not also a mistake? Or is it that the mistake is Dench's ring on her finger? Do the actors' human hands change to paws in the CGI-fixed second version?

Answer: The issue wasn't about her hand looking human but, as you mentioned, that she was wearing her own ring, which was digitally removed in the revised version.
