Cats Don't Dance is a 1997 animated musical film, and one of only two projects by Turner Entertainment's Turner Feature Animation unit (itself an outgrowth of Hanna-Barbera's feature animation wing) before Warner Bros. took over (the other being The Pagemaster). The film was choreographed by Gene Kelly, and the main character was based on him as well. Kelly died in 1996 mid-production.The Golden Age of Hollywood, 1939: A singing and dancing cat named Danny (Scott Bakula) dreams of being a big movie star. He gets a role in the latest film starring sickeningly adorable child star Darla Dimple (Ashley Peldon), only to find out the hard way that animal actors are just the backdrop for the real stars. Determined to show Hollywood their talent, Danny rounds up some of his newfound friends, and tries to find a way to impress the studio exec producing the film. Complicating matters is Darla, who doesn't want to share her spotlight and will do just about anything to stay on top.Filled with shout outs to classic films, most notably Singin' in the Rain and Sunset Boulevard, the film was poorly promoted and, as a result, underperformed at the box office. However, it was well received critically and still has a loyal following to this day (particularly among the Furry Fandom).After a quarter of a century stuck in standard definition, it finally received a Blu-ray release in September 2023.

comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Mammoth Studios, run by "L.B. Mammoth", is clearly Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Also, Darla's looks are obviously based on◊ Shirley Temple◊ with some Jane Withers thrown in, and her first name is taken from another child star. For a bonus, most of Darla's characterization is inspired by a Shirley Temple rumor from back in the day... that instead of being a sweet little girl, she was really a chain-smoking 30-year-old little person who hated children and animals. Frances's look and character is a reference to Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard. Max is an even more obvious lift from the same film.

Visual Pun: When Darla invites Danny over to personally "apologize" for what Max did, she mildly comments that he can be "bad" sometimes while giving him an equally mild pat on his hand. She's giving him a literal version of the metaphorical slap on the wrist.

Corny Nebraska: Darla Dimple has invited Danny Cat to her mansion, ostensibly to give him advice in the form of a song. "I've seen 'em come, I've seen 'em go / There's one thing that I know: / You'd better give the people what they want / Or you'll wind up back in Kokomo, Nebraska." Danny interrupts to correct her: "Uh, Indiana, Miss Dimple." Darla replies, "Whatever," because Nebraska is a Hollywood euphemism for a dumping ground of those who will never be famous.

Anachronism Stew
 Cats Don't Dance / int_259d5879
comment
Anachronism Stew: The film mostly stays on par with what was going on in 1939 Hollywood, but it does have inconsistencies. A rather glaring one is that the Hollywood sign read Hollywoodland back in the day, but the film simply shows it as Hollywood. The movie that Darla Dimple is starring in is based on the tale of Noah and his Ark, yet biblical dramas based on such were not allowed at the time because of the Hays Code. As Danny heads to California, the tour bus that he is in passes by a covered Mount Rushmore, which unveils itself as completed as the bus drives by. The site would not be finished until late 1941. Add to the fact that nearly every poster at the end with the characters are pastiches of films from the late 80s and 1990s.

Guile Hero: Nice Guy that he is, Danny becomes this during the final act. After picking himself back up, he first secretly sends invitations to the animals while keeping quiet about his plan to get them to stardom. Then when Max appears to kill him, he lures Max into a trap by making Max come to him via Darla's balloon close enough to a spire so he can pop it and send Max rocketing into the sky. Then when he calls the audience's attention, he pretends to honor Darla Dimple before tricking her into saying that she's arranged a live show with the animals. Then when the show starts, Danny, knowing of Darla's tendency to cheat as well as knowing that she's nothing without Max, coaches the animals to go along with whatever cheating Darla comes up with to ruin the show, thus making all of her attempts actually impress the audience. This results in the most spectacular audition in film history and Darla outing herself as the one who flooded Mammoth Studios and getting herself demoted to janitor, leading to the film's satisfying ending.

Ends with a Smile: The movie concludes with studio mogul L. B. Mammoth declaring "Get a picture, boys. These kids are going to be big!" as he embraces Danny and Sawyer on stage. Mammoth is smiling because he's found new talent, while Danny and Sawyer are smiling because they're no longer relegated to the background chorus. Although, there is The Stinger where wicked Darla Dimple grimaces at the audience because she's been demoted to janitor.

Small Start, Big Finish: Darla's "Big And Loud" number starts out with simple piano accompaniment and sotto voce as Darla begins to impart her Hollywood wisdom on upstart Danny Cat. Then her manservant Max (also the pianist) intones, "Get hot, Miss Dimple," at which the number switches to a full orchestra playing a brassy and brazen beat with enough pageantry for a head of state. Her message is that talent only goes so far; it's the spectacle that people come to see.

Even Evil Has Standards: The villainous Darla Dimple puts a momentary stop on her Evil Plan to explain to Danny in song that audiences prefer a showstopper to a more quiet film production. She's also nonplussed at the fact that the animal most capable of being a natural showstopper, Woolie, prefers to stay in the background and play the piano.

Batman Gambit: Danny pulls off one with the final dance number. Nice Guy that he is, he sets it up so that, if Darla gracefully sits back and lets the Show Stopper song play, they'd prove their performing chops and she'd come off smelling like roses. But Danny is also aware that Darla won't just sit back and let them upstage her, and has coached his friends to just run with whatever Darla tries to do. He even takes a very brief moment to shove it in her face after her first couple attempts fail. Though even he is shocked to find out Darla was responsible for the flood during her Accidental Public Confession.

Dance-Off: Naïve Newcomer Danny and Ice Queen Sawyer conduct one of these during an impromptu talent show near Mammoth Studios, complete with Trash-Can Band. Tillie's hip toss sends Sawyer reeling into the spotlight, where she takes a few blithe steps and poses. "Not bad," sasses Danny, "A little rusty, but hey, who's perfect?" Sawyer sasses back, "Rusty? I'll give you rusty." The two Funny Animal felines then take turns out-stepping each other, culminating in a pirouette and dip finale ... and an Almost Kiss.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While yes, there is a huge amount of Fantastic Racism involved at the studio, Danny is dismissed after breaking script, upstaging the lead actress when cast as an extra, and ruining a very expensive and complicated scene, all on his first day.

Wham Shot: Max's first appearance.

After fixing Darla's wardrobe, he crushes Danny with just one hand, uses his thumb to rocket him into the ground, then walks back to the Impact Silhouette he made upon entering and teleports away.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Cats Don't Dance / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: Darla gets the animals fired, just because she fears they'll steal her spotlight, and for Cranston's insinuation that L.B. Mammoth is tired of her and is looking for something new. Also, her reaction to Danny upstaging her at the first shooting. And that's saying something, because Danny's behavior was completely out of line and inconsiderate to everyone there.

comment
The Dragon: Darla Dimple's butler, Max, is her right-hand man and The Heavy. While Darla herself isn't much of a physical threat, Max easily makes up for it by being so physically imposing that nobody can hope to stop him. It's telling that Max is only taken out of the picture through some planning and quite a bit of luck on Danny's part.

 Cats Don't Dance / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Humans towards animals. The whole film can be interpreted as an allegory for the prejudice and marginalization African-American actors and singers faced in the 1930s and 40s in Hollywood. That said, once Danny and friends do finally get the opportunity to demonstrate their talents, the human audience gives uproarious applause and the animals are catapulted to the stardom they wanted for so long.

Tuft of Head Fur: Both feline leads have a significant amount of fur atop their heads. Orange tabby tom Danny has the standard tuft that even his straw hat can't contain, while pretty angora kitty Sawyer likes to curl hers into a stylish swirl. Being the main characters, theirs are the most prominent of all the anthropomorphic characters in-universe.

Wicked Heart Symbol: Hearts are associated with Darla Dimple, who puts on a ridiculously sweet facade for her adoring fans, but turns out to be spoiled, jealous, and vindictive in private. In the second part of her Villain Song, which is a Disney Acid Sequence, hearts are seen everywhere, from the tips of the pointy fence that appears in one part, to the waterfall she imagines the heroes falling down.

comment
Climactic Music: "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is a Show Stopper that the animals put on to convince the human audience watching that they're worthy of love and attention as Hollywood stars. And thanks to Danny pulling a Batman Gambit, all of Darla's attempts to sabotage the number just make it even more impressive.

Press Hat: A gaggle of reporters appear, sporting not only tagged fedoras but flashbulb cameras, to drool over Mae West at the Brown Derby. There's also a throng of reporters who wear hats with press tags tucked in their hat bands while they attend the press conference of studio honcho L. B. Mammoth.

Seven Deadly Sins: Darla Dimple is basically a combination of all seven of them. Wrath: Has an extremely short temper and will lash out at others if something doesn't go her way. Gluttony: Eats lots of sweets, as shown when she meets with Danny. Lust: Has a lust for attention and tries to act cute in order to manipulate others and then dispose of them. Pride: Sees herself to be better than anyone else. Greed: Wants all of the fame to herself. Sloth: Has Max do all of the dirty work for her while she just watches him do so, as shown when he floods the stages to ruin Danny and the other animals' act. Envy: Gets jealous if anyone upstages her and even tries to stop anyone from doing so, as shown when she sees Danny and the other animals perform onstage after her movie is played.

Not So Stoic: During the Animal Jam song, Sawyer begins typing along to the beat, her color getting a bit brighter, and then enthusiastically returns the typing carriage to its original position, only to suddenly get hold of herself and straighten up. Also happens again just a few seconds later when she accidentally makes an emergency ladder slam to the ground... with her on it. Her fur puffs up and her claws extend while she makes a very amusing neurotic expression, eyes darting around, then immediately pretends nothing happened and composes herself. Typical cat.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: HILARIOUSLY played with in the climax. Darla's attempts to stop the animals' performance result in one of the most spectacular auditions in all cinematic history, complete with gunfire and spectacular light performances. It isn't over yet, as she accidentally makes her crime of flooding Mammoth Studios known to everyone across Hollywood, not only clearing the animals' names and giving them their acting privileges back but also completely derailing her career. A little bit earlier, Max's attempt to stop Danny of his own free will results in him not being around to help Darla sabotage the animals' big number.

Epic Fail: The audition Darla sets up for the animals with L.B. Mammoth. Not only does the whole town get flooded, but they drag L.B. himself behind them on the anchor, and he ends up tied to the mast when the boat sinks. Darla's attempts to stop the production of "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" only keep making it more spectacular. She finally goes through an Accidental Public Confession, loses her job as Hollywood's biggest star, and roles for animals across Hollywood suddenly explode in popularity.

Melancholy Musical Number: Intersecting with Torch Song, Sawyer's "Tell Me Lies" accompanies images of a morose and disillusioned Danny trudging through the evening Hollywood rain to the bus stop. His dream of making a splash in motion pictures resulted in a fiasco, and Danny can only retreat back to Kokomo, Indiana whence he came. Sawyer suffered a similar setback in her early days, leaving her a snarky Ice Queen secretary to a talent agent. She'd rather someone tell her bright and beautiful lies than face the grim and hopeless truth of Hollywood favoritism.

Insult Friendly Fire: Sawyer's animal-based metaphors for questioning the legitimacy of Danny setting up an audition with L.B. Mammoth end up accidentally insulting her costars.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Cats Don't Dance / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: A rather poignant one. When Darla makes it known to the other animals she was the one Danny turned to for help, Sawyer says "She was your angel?" She isn't even mad so much as quietly devastated that Danny's naiveté and trusting nature, however well-meaning, was what lead to the collective animals losing their jobs.

Opening the Flood Gates
 Cats Don't Dance / int_d3abc1e8
comment
Opening the Flood Gates: After giving a press conference on his upcoming film, studio honcho Mammoth opens the door to the sound stage, unaware that the Funny Animal performers are undergoing a deluge as part of the villain's effort to sabotage their careers. Since this is a cartoon, the water ignores the laws of fluid dynamics, flowing instead according to the Rule of Funny. Mister Mammoth was most displeased.

 Cats Don't Dance / int_dbfd6b8
comment
Lyrical Dissonance: The first bit of Darla's Li'l Ark Angel song "My Little Boat on the Sea" is appropriately minor-key and matches its lyrics as it describes The Great Flood, but Darla's saccharine cheerful performance of same matches neither. And then it's Mood Whiplash into the really cutesy-wootsy part.

Despair Event Horizon: Danny tells Sawyer that a "little angel" is helping the animals with their audition, They all learn after the flood incident that gets them fired that the so-called "angel" was Darla, who had set Danny up from the start. With Sawyer and the other feeling betrayed and leaving him, a dejected Danny decides to give up and prepares to go home. However, he soon realizes that he can't just yet after seeing his fellow animals remaining downtrodden in Hollywood and comes back, inspiring them to upstage Darla.

Soup of Poverty
 Cats Don't Dance / int_de0406f6
comment
Soup of Poverty: As Danny glumly rides the bus back to Kokomo, Indiana, he sees many Funny Animal extras on the street. A few are warming themselves by an open fire in a grease bucket, while many more are lined up, bowls in hand, for a ladling of soup from a large steel pot. Before Danny arrived in Hollywood, these folks could at least be cast as extras or "atmosphere" people, and enjoy sit-down meals. His fiasco at Mammoth Studios made all animal extras pariahs, so seeing this poverty soup line makes Danny feel even worse.

Whole-Plot Reference
 Cats Don't Dance / int_e303d198
comment
Whole-Plot Reference: Along with the trappings of other films, Cats Don't Dance is almost an Animated Adaptation of Harold Lloyd's 1932 talkie Movie Crazy. Both feature a hopelessly optimistic young male from Flyover Country moving to Hollywood to become a star, only to bungle things when they get there with their clumsy antics and get in the hair of a pretty young disillusioned actress, eventually winning her over with his optimistic charm. There is no ax-crazy Shirley Temple-esque villain in Movie Crazy nor a subtle racism subtext, and it focuses much more on romance, but most of the other ingredients are there.

Stopped Dead in Their Tracks
 Cats Don't Dance / int_e5a11ab1
comment
Stopped Dead in Their Tracks: The Funny Animals conduct an impromptu jazz session in the alleyway next to Mammoth Studios, which catches the ear of Broken Bird Sawyer, and she ends up joining in the fun. But as she dips in Danny's arm, a realization strikes, and she abruptly spins away. When Danny suggests their talents might be discovered, Sawyer replies that he must be dreaming. His comeback is "Maybe I am. But so were you, a minute ago." Sawyer stops her retreat and clutches her heart. Her eyes dart fervently back and forth, weighing the options. "You're a dancer, girl. It's what you live for," on one side, versus "Fool! They'll never let you dance. The system will crush you, like it always does," on the other. Ultimately, the Ice Queen won, and Sawyer disappears into the shadows.

Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo: A villainous example. The Prima Donna Darla Dimple does most of the talking, since maintaining her facade as "lover of children and animals" requires being the keet under scrutiny. Max is Darla's Mighty Glacier manservant, who rarely says more than, "Yes, Miss Dimple." Together, everyone at Mammoth Studios walks on eggshells around this Alpha Bitch and her bone-crunching enforcer.

Dark Reprise: "Big And Loud". Darla's big number, expressing her stardom, helps to inspire Danny to bring every other animal with him and impress the head of Mammoth Studios. The moment he leaves, however, it immediately becomes a Villain Song for Darla, who conspires to sabotage his dreams and have him, and every other animal following him, fired instead.

Romantic Rain
 Cats Don't Dance / int_f51e530a
comment
Romantic Rain: The two principal characters have an evening rain fall upon them separately, but the romantic connection nonetheless applies. The rain falls on Danny as part of his Humiliation Conga, having failed miserably at getting his friends an audition with a studio mogul. Meanwhile, Sawyer sings a Torch Song outside a diner, which describes how Hollywood made her a Broken Bird, while newcomer Danny reawakened the songstress/dancer at Sawyer's core. As the rain stops, she learns that Danny waits at the bus stop, and hurries to meet him.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Danny and company do get their big break, though they have to go through a lot to get it. Not only are the animals repeatedly told that their dreams are never going to come true, but Darla blames them for getting the stage flooded, and it's clear from the repeated failures that the animals have become jaded and cynical. Yet Danny convinces them to keep trying anyways, to the point that the Show Stopper number only goes ahead because Danny hits the animals with an Armor-Piercing Question about why they're still in Hollywood in spite of all of this. And once "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" proves to be a runaway success, the animals finally catch their big break after so many years of being kept down.
