Tom Hooper’s Cats movie dropped a second trailer this week, and it featured a lot more of Taylor Swift’s cat character dancing around in full CGI glory. In fact, the second Cats trailer had a little bit of everything and enough wild CGI moments to have the Internet abuzz once more.

Of course, the reactions to how Cats is looking in the early trailers for the big holiday release wildly vary. The movie has definitely been a big talking point on the Internet, and you can see some of the classic reactions to trailer number two, below.

In the meantime, be sure to check out what all will be competing during the holiday season with our full schedule.
