Never-before-published model sheets for canned Amblin Cats movie 🐈‍⬛✏️👁️

Hi all. As promised, I am sharing a comprehensive .PDF of model sheets that were created for the Amblimation Cats movie that never saw the light of day. Most of these model sheets have not been published or posted anywhere on the internet as far as I'm aware. I'm going to get ahead of some questions for the good of the order:

Are these real? I certainly didn't sit and create all 117 pages myself for the sake of an elaborate hoax!

How did you get these? I work in the animation industry. A senior coworker caught wind of my cats obsession and said he had the Xeroxes and asked if I wanted him to bring them in. Internally, I flipped my shit. And then I digitized his hard copies.

How did your coworker get these? They were found in the library of the university he used to go to. (Not super unusual at an arts school in southern California.) He made photo copies back then and has been holding onto them. The thing is he knows nothing about CATS; isn't a CATS fan, never seen it, etc. I guess he just felt it was something worth holding on to!

Can you upload better quality? Unfortunately what you're seeing as good as the quality gets. These are scans of photocopies from the 90s. There is nothing to be done for the crunchiness.

What about (missing characters)? I'm showing you everything I was personally given!

Which character is (nondescript drawing of a cat)? If the image isn't labeled, your guess is as good as mine! I put all the misc./unlabeled cats in the back of the PDF. The only exceptions are ones that I felt were abundantly obviously supposed to be a specific character.

Who are the artists? Unfortunately, there's no way I can tell for sure. None of the sheets are signed. I wouldn't even go about guessing because many concept artists can perfectly emulate more "well known" illustrators whose styles were sought after. My coworker said he might be able to figure out who the draftsmen were; until then it's a mystery! If I find out, I will come back to this post and update it with that information.

Are these all the model sheets ever? No! In fact, there are model sheets that have been posted online that are not in the bundle I was given. I have no idea of the sum total of model sheets in existence.

Where's the link?! Here it is! Have fun kitties!

Tumblr's Top 50 Musicals - Survey

In 2022, I wanted to find out Tumblr's Top 50 Musicals after seeing similar surveys on Reddit and Twitter. Now, three years and lots of new musicals later, I'm excited to see if anything has changed. So here's the 2025 survey!

To participate, please reply to this post / send me a non-anonymous ask / a dm with your Top 10 favourite musicals - ranked from 1 to 10, with 1 being your absolute favourite, until 11th June 2025.

Rules:

Since every show will receive points according to its ranking, I'm asking you to rank exactly 10 musicals, not more, not fewer.

Movie musicals and concept musicals without stage adaptations do not count. The musical MUST have a stage version.

Revivals/rewrites of a show count as the same musical, e.g. Bat Out Of Hell West End vs. Las Vegas.

Please include the composer/lyricist or another distinguishing element if there are at least two different musicals of the same name, e.g. Cinderella (R&H vs. ALW).

It's meant to be a list of your favourite musicals, not those you consider to be the best! There's no need to justify your choice.

The more people participate, the wider the variety of shows & the more representative the survey: please reblog!

Random example (not my favourites):

Into the Woods > gets 10 points

Company > gets 9 points

The King and I > gets 8 points

Beauty and the Beast (Disney) > gets 7 points

Rebecca > gets 6 points

Next to Normal > gets 5 points

Chess > gets 4 points

My Fair Lady > gets 3 points

Cabaret > gets 2 points

Wicked > gets 1 point

Please do not include the points, this is just for you to see how this survey works.

Once I've counted your list, I'll reply with "counted". You cannot change your ranking after this.

A very nice look at Mamrotka, one of Cats Warsaw's original characters and fun fact: her name means mumbler

Here in this photo from 2006 played by Dominika Guzek, who was a teenager who won a competition and thus for one show played a kitten alongside one other lucky girl
