The Awefull Battle Of The Pekes And The Pollicles - Cats

[christiankittyluver]

I love the Pollicle costumes! :D

[FYEO1986]

Munkustrap is my favorite. I had a cat that acted so very like him.

[talker199755]

[MultiPearl007]

Ba!

[inthemoonlight]

5:09 lmao lmao lmao <3 him so much

[anglicalchemist]

I'm wiht Rubblez. The look at the end's more like "What? Too soon?"

[Wurzelknecht]

Poor Munkustrap. That play was doomed from the start when he casted Jerrie and Teazer as the first two dogs to appear in the script XD

Well at least Tugger had fun...

[balletluve]

You never saw anything fiercer...*annoyed expression*or hairier

[iamthelegoking]

8 people are pollice dogs

[Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

is it something to worry about when I sit an exam and when I finish, the first thing I do, is recite this whole song in my head?

[CatsAlonzoFan4]

LOL 2:29 behind munk

Alonzos lik no stupid! this way!

LOL Admetus shaved off his fur, and munk says hes hairy??! O.o

Mungo, skimble and misto have shoes on their heads

[danieldentis]

You Never saw anything fiercer...or hairier

[jokerobbessed]

I have probably said this to three or four times...but Munkustrap has great legs (2:00-2:06) :)

[123wickedsweet]

I used to have the BIGGEST crush on Munkustrap and Rum Tum Tugger. :)

[thehappybean]

5:13- his face is TO adorable:)

he's like, ya:DD

and everyone else is like, err>.>

[sparkleandshineify]

Mistofelees with a shoe on his head ^^ Too adorable.

[rukiak18]

@sparkleandshineify i thought that was mungojerrie with the shoe on his head

[SplitzBananaful]

I love it when his hair flares up :D

[zapper12345678966]

rum tum tuggers bagpipes are epic win, and so is the rumpus cat's hair

[lilstar500]

this is one of my top fav songs in the whole musical, i just love everything about this

[LadySaanum93]

who doesnt love a tugger with bagpipes ^_^

[lauratunes12]

There is so much about this song that I love. 1:05-1:07, 2:53-3:01, 3:25-3:27, 3:57-4:00, 4:19-21, 4:33-39, 5:09-5:16... But of course I love every part of this song :)

[p0k3r143]

Jellicle=Dear little cat

Pollicle=poor little dog

[NEWSFLASHDRUMMER]

@p0k3r143 jellicle is cat, pollicle is dog, then what is a Peke?

[PointsofData]

@NEWSFLASHDRUMMER Peke = a type of pollicle. And Poms. Ya know, like theres Dalmatian, Scottish Terrier, Pekingese and Pomeranian (I think I spelled those right) but they're all different types of dogs. :)

[balletluve]

@NEWSFLASHDRUMMER Simple, a fish. Nah, Im kidding. I really don't know.

[KelseyKrossBonez]

@NEWSFLASHDRUMMER Jellice is suppose to mean "dear little cat" and the same for the Pollicle meaning "poor little dog". In this act its about two rival "tribes" of dogs so peke while usually meaning a pekingese us suppose to represent a bunch of dogs. Thats why the "Poms" (pomeranians) are involved with the pekes.

[PeaceNdLovee]

Are Pekes and Pollicles like diffrent tribes or somthing? heh

[DJSpartin121]

@PeaceNdLovee Theyre different kinds of dogs. because different dogs dont get along and most Cats do.

[daughterofdestiny8]

His jaws were amazing! *chomp*

[AnimeSquirrel]

<3 Minkustrap

great acting

[LynnAnika]

Oh yeah, Munkustrap (Michael Gruber) is a beautiful beautiful man :-) And a remarkable performer!

[KurouRufu]

Ohmygosh.... 1:44 is my favorite part. Mungo looks so amazing there. :)

[yamiyugifangirl]

"You've never seen anything...FIERCER!!...." *looks at the audience* "or hairier"

XDDD I love that part

[Joygina]

@yamiyugifangirl I totally agree!

[SasatheShy]

I think the expression on his face when he says, "Or hairier " is what made me fall in love with Munkustrap. He's awesome!

[AzzyDaSpazzy1]

5:10 Munku's face when he hears RTT and his bag pipes

[sian0151]

wat about his face wen he messes his barks up

[AzzyDaSpazzy1]

[Lovelygal152]

@AzzyDaSpazzy1 He's all like, "That's the last time I'M organizing the entertainment!"

[GerryButlersLoverr]

[Leonor25100]

[bubblegumtwix]

My fave part of this scene is the part about the Scottish cousins and then Rum Tum Tugger's bagpipe solo! Phenomenal!

[LordSia13]

I like this musical, especially this particular song, and Munkustrap is an excellent performer.

[basseth23]

[Skaaxaai]

What girl DIDN'T have a crush on him and Rumtum?

[xJAWx18]

lmfao so true

[kragey]

I love Michael Gruber's faces in this song. Especially when the Rumpus Cat misses his mark and crashes, and Munkustrap gets that "ARRRGH" look on his face--makes me laugh every time!

[sk8trgrl13]

this is an awesome song! ill take one of him to go plz. ive always loved this movie

[jesseanderson99]

munkstrap rocks at singing this song!

[lovedove97]

"You never saw anything fiercer....or hairer."

XD

[LintuWaterfall]

I want to see the Japanese version, just for a luagh.

How did RumbusCat's hair do that at 4:34?

[TheOriginalJellicle]

He just tilts his head forward. If you watch carefully, he leans just a little forward to make his hair rise, and flicks his head back to make it go down again.

[arcana8340]

if you look closely you can see a string at the side of his costume, he pulls it to make his hair stand on end :3

[AHicksy]

someone further down asked for the lyrics for 'the marching song of the pollicle dogs' There are dogs out of every nation, The Irish, the Welsh and the Dane; The Russian, the Dutch the Dalmatian, And even from China and Spain; The Poodle, the Pom, the Alsatian And the mastiff who walks on a chain And to those that are frisky and frollical Let my meaning be perfectly plain; That my name it is Little Tom Pollicle-- And you'd better not do it again :) <3 cats A LOT

[threecardmontegirl]

Love mungo jerries face at 1:45

[Darkrangerofthedeep]

I was lucky enough to see this in January, and it was great, except the fact that they didn't do this song. <:,(

[arcticshade1]

YAY! Munkastrap is my favoriye 1!

[Modog34]

mine too!

[rosepetal223]

is rum tum tugger gay?????

[DaughterxOfxBlaze]

John Patridge, the actor who plays him, is openly gay, as far as the cat...hm...well he is pretty close to Misto ^.^ *wink*

[Modog34]

i think the guy who plays him in real life is, but i don't think the character is.

[SquirrelyGirly42]

so ive heard, he is.

[Ichigofan1996]

lmao Rum Tum Tugger and bagpipes!

[adryennsz89]

yep,guess I made up a new name from Rumpleteazer and Rumpus cat :)anyway I like this musical very much! :)

[YooHooOnliiMe]

it's Rumpus cat (:

what a frikken great Musical!

<333

[adryennsz89]

aaa I just love Cats :D it cracks me up when they go "bark" and when the great rumples cat makes his entry XD

[TurtleofRhoar]

3:57 Poor Munkustrap. The other cats doesn't seem to understand the understand his visions :) My favorite jellicle - and song!

[OoMcLovin]

[milkygoodness]

Poor Munku...bet that was the last year he agreed to direct any play the jellicles put on

[MrBroadwayboy]

[AcidicEyeliner]

Most kick ass bagpipes ever. In the history of the world.

And the song ain't half-bad either ;)

[anniebella15]

[mbas97]

[ToffeLinchen22]

Look at Alonzo's face at 4.27 .. too cute.

I want to protect him.! ♥

[CrystalAvatar]

The great WHAT?"

[anoksenyamen]

rumbus cat or rumpus cat or something like that...

[Brihemianrhapsody]

Rumpus cat

[anoksenyamen]

yea that one...

[LifegivesUlemonz]

what exactly are they talking about?

[jokerobbessed]

I have said once and I will say it again. Munkustrap has great legs.

[Itatchiluver13]

i agree

[Mufasathegodlion]

How is the grey cat telling the story? Alonzo?

[Mufasathegodlion]

its munkustrap.

[ThoGunArm]

what were the policles singing when they marched single file.

[candelCAKE]

there were dogs out of every nation,

the irish, the welsh and the dain,

the russian, the dutch, the dalmatian,

and even the chinese and spain.

this line i can't understand...

and the mustiff that walks on the chain?

don't know wether it's right...

[Rumpleteaze]

The line you can't understand is:

The Poodle, the Pom, the Alsatian

[jobroswarrior]

lol munkustrap was like, how? how am i related to him? i think i read that they're brothers lol

rum tug tugger is awesome lol

[theamazingferdie]

yeha and Old Duteronimy is their father or something right?

[kimberlyyu110]

Yep. I read that too. Along with Alonzo.

Rum Tum Tugger IS awesome! I loved his face after he played the bagpipes!

[jobroswarrior]

i think a pollicle is like a stray dog, while the pekes are rich dogs lol.

[DivineDemonStudios]

I love this song. Munkustrap is to funny! X3 lol Tugger and his bagpipes!

[Pasdepass123]

Actually Pollicle stand for "poor little dog". I don't remember what Jellicle stand for...

[fairiegirl2992]

Jellicle is "Dear little cat."

:)

[theratvlogs]

When the tugger came out with the bagpipes at the end, munkustrap was like, "why me. why me."

[JarethsWiccanQueen]

badly acted stories are funny! I love the SuperCat!!!! XD

[Konahoki]

now munkustrap, the first problem you have is that you had a bunch of kits helping you tell this story!!

[ProserpinaFC]

"now munkustrap, the first problem you have is that you had a bunch of kits helping you tell this story!!"

And you'd think an acrobat like Mungojerrie would be able to keep pace in saying one little line, but noo~!

[peepsluvme72]

a pollicle is a kind of dog. just like a jellicle it is made up by T.S. elliot. (the author of the book that CATS is made from.)like peke pollicle and pug and pom.

haha when munkustrap say "or hairier" he sounds like the grinch. i think im in love with that cat! i<3 munkustrap!

[Oreztar]

Well, a peke, a pug and a pom are actually dogs (pekenese, pug, and pomeranian respectively) but you're right on the pollicle being.....nonsense.

[DaughterxOfxBlaze]

Yeah Tugger you work those bagpipes!!!

[fairiegirl2992]

Munkustrap is all: "Gosh, can no one tell my story right? Will you all stop messing it up?" He's so cute! Whoever plays him is a GREAT actor and singer.

[homerjsimpson215]

fariegirl, that would be Michael Gruber.

[wakarimasengomen]

what's a pollicle?

[bubblegumtwix]

This is one of mi fave songs in cats...the jellicle ball is wicked, but the scottish part into the bagpipes is mi fave bit of this song lol!

[SCREAMduckySCREAM]

i still dont get it!!!

SAD FACE!

[boomhoward22]

its explaining some battle that happened.

[CreepyDollx]

I didn't get this when I was younger, but when I saw it recently, I totally got it!

:)

[xnarutofan2x]

XD Tugger was like "Hey why's nobody paying attention to ME?"

[RachelKiss123]

it's like the superman of cats ^^

[queenofgamez]

'u never saw anything...Fiercer...or hairyer' lol classic XD (srry if i cant spell lol)

[westendellie]

I LOVE AEVA MAY a.k.a Demeterr <3

Munkustrap is gorgeous!<3

[homerjsimpson215]

I was bored and was on the phone with my friend so I just started singing this really fast and I could just imagine her face. I bet it was something along the lines of O_o

[landersbarry]

i love it

[Avazorro5598]

i saw cats recently and i think that gtls is boring i was like when will this be over i would like to see something better like this song more then gtls i think it was so so so so boring

[ghunter182003]

Me too!

[UsoppsRevenge]

Really? Huh... I love Growltiger's Last Stand, because it's so different and kind of takes you into another world... but I can see why you might have preferred this song :3

[SirSkimbleShanks]

Not sure if this was clarified by anyone but Jellicle Cat is what came out when TSE's baby niece tried to say "Dear little cat" and Pollicle Dog when she tried to say "Poor little dog". Just putting this out here since I see a lot of people asking. I love this song, though I prefer Growltiger's Last Stand.

[BabyMissyDoll]

¡Aw, why do you prefer that? I like this cause Munku is the one doing it and it is adorable the way he acts!

[SirSkimbleShanks]

Just cause, I feel that from a directorial standpoint Gus deserves more than he gets in the movie but thankfully we have the live musical which has the ability to do both GT's Last Stand and the battle of the Ps and Ps :)

[MarblesTheMoose]

Really? I agree that Gus deserves more then he gets (and Jacob dressed as a cat dressed as a pirate is the most adorable thing in the world) but I think I prefer Pekes and the Pollicles. It may just be the way Micheal Gruber acts though, as the Australian recording of P & P isn't as amazing as this one.

[Rom3osToxic]

Tugger's so cute at 5:14 xD

[hitntr]

I went to go see the play cats not to far ago and was quite upset that this song wasn't in that one :( I love this part of the movie

[UsoppsRevenge]

It's a good song, but they must have replaced it with Growltiger's Last Stand? That's an amazing song too!!

[Avazorro5598]

i have two jellicle cats:)

(Zorro and ava):)

[jokerobbessed]

munkus has nice legs at 2:06.

[KatherineParr]

too bad he's gay

*sobs!*

[MarblesTheMoose]

Munkus has nice legs period :)

[IHeartYYH]

i think its why jennydots went under em lol

[3574599]

When i first rented this video and watched for the FIRST time I watched dozens of times over and over ands over agian!

[Goldfish567]

love cats :}

[kipandvixi]

can someone please explain the plot of this to me, i love the musical and i've watched it all my life, but i've never really understood this part

[KenjiSaun]

he is telling Deuteronomy of how the pekes and pollicles (dogs) were fighting and the great rumpus cat stopped them, and became a cat hero

[AnimeIdiot19]

its funny how they keep messing up. lol

[littlesongbird1]

I just saw this a week ago but they didn't do this song...

[yaco049]

this is like the catchiest song ever!

[DustyKattAndYou]

What's a pollicle? I know a Pekes a Pekenese, but waht's pollicle stand for? Oh, and who does not heart Munkustraps? (for those who don't now, he's the cat doing ALL of the solo.)

[finch3214]

i think it means dog in general, like cats are "Jellicles", dogs are "Pollicles"

[ppyyoonnii]

a battle between two neighbouring dog tribes,the Pekes and the Pollicles.The word "Pollicle Dog" is derived from an unsuccessful attempt at saying "poor little dog". Similarly, "Jellicle Cat" is a corruption of "dear little cat".

Although "Peke" usually refers to Pekingese, in the song it seems to refer to a variety of different types of dogs.(From wiki)

[DustyKattAndYou]

thanks!^^

[lulax1994]

when i was younger i was scared of rumpas cat haha

XD wot a loser i was

[patitalinda7]
