The first trailer for Cats, the next classic musical to hit the big screen, was released yesterday and it's all the Internet can talk about. Directed by Tom Hooper (Les Misérables, The King's Speech), the new movie has been the subject of memes and jokes that will delight even folks who aren't musical fans. Many people have joked that the new trailer is terrifying, with the CGI cat people looking quite unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. One of the trends has been setting the trailer to different music, which one comedian did with the remixed version "I Got 5 On It" by Luniz, which was used for Jordan Peele's Us trailer.

"I put the song from Us onto the Cats trailer and I think it fits better," Ian Abramson wrote.

The tweet currently has over 18,000 retweets and 65,000 likes, even attracting the attention of the Us director:

Many people commented on the post:

"Oh wow this is a masterpiece," @ItsDanSheehan wrote.

"Art," @ArtDecider declared.

"This version actually makes it seem like it'll be a good movie," @MrWillMiles joked.

"You know you've made a f***ed up film when you give Jordan Peele the creeps," @phil_addison04 added.
