Randy Newman Musical

If you're upset or worried about the soundtrack to The Princess and the Frog being done by Randy Newman and not, say, Alan Menken, please check out Cats Don't Dance.

Hey, look at that, some obliging soul has put it on YouTube. Just as well because the DVD, while obviously better, is really hard to find.

Do yourself a favour and try to get past the title sequence; while it's cleverly storyboarded it isn't representative, musically, of the rest of the movie. Subsquent parts are linked after this clip ... unfortunately the cuts are a little awkward but it's better than nothing.

Hey I'm actually wondering what you think so far of The Princess and the Frog, cause I've been hearing a lot of obnoxious comments about it, which are kinda annoying.
I am super excited for it, and I really like Cats Don't Dance (Unfortunately I have the full screen version, and couldn't find the widescreen) D:

Cats Don't Dance has been airing on cartoon network this past week. They run it every couple months or so.

I caught my ten-year-old brother watching it the other morning. He tries to be a macho kid, but I know he has the love for animated musicals. :D

I LOVE that movie. I think it's brilliant.
Everytime it's on Cartoon Network I make my brother watch it with me :D

Oooh, I'd forgotten about this movie, I saw it ages ago!! I didn't notice Randy Newman did the music for this one!

I figured you can't talk about Princess and the Frog, so I only have one question. Do you think the people who oppose this movie because of the theme and the setting and such are gonna have to eat their words with a lot of ketchup?

CATS DON'T DANCE! :D I re-watched the whole movie on YouTube a few months ago, after failing to find a DVD copy and needing a fix. Such a forgotten flick... with Scott Bacula! Hee, I love him.

Cats DO Dance forever

I just love how it's been on YouTube for the longest time! I was so excited when I found it months ago and I'm still excited that it's still up. It's so cartoony. :3 I remember it from when I was little. ^^

ACTUALLY, it seems like the full-screen DVD is not hard to find (Amazon: $8.99). Was it ever released on DVD in widescreen (the one on Youtube looks like the image has been stretched a little)? I still have my VHS, and I usually wait to replace them until I can find the best replacement possible. 'Swan Princess' and 'The Thief and the Cobbler' I'm still waiting on for that reason too. Why don't they want to release these things? People would be all over it!
