Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the first cat seen on screen?

Answer: Demeter

Demeter rushes out and hisses towards the headlights of the car that passes the alley.

2. Who played Munkustrap?

Answer: Michael Gruber

Michael Gruber, Jacob Brent, and Ken Page were the only Americans in the video. Jacob Brent played Quaxo/Mistoffelees, Ken Page played Old Deuteronomy, and Sir John Mills was Gus.

3. Which cat has more costumes than any other?

Answer: Jennyanydots

Jennyanydots had three. The others had two. In the beginning, Old Deuteronomy was less shaggy, Rum Tum Tugger didn't have a mane, and Skimbleshanks didn't have a vest. Jennyanydots had her HUGE Gumbie Cat costume, her fringe covered tap-dance costume, and her other, more normal costume.

4. How many times does Demeter announce a Macavity scare?

Answer: 3

She does this right before "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer," right before the "Jellicle Ball," and right before Macavity and his goons catnap Old Deuteronomy.

5. Which of these was a PUBLISHED poem in T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" that did not make it into the video?

Answer: Growltiger's Last Stand

"Growltiger's Last Stand" was a sort of a memory that Gus has in which the actor playing Gus plays Growltiger and the actress playing Jellylorum plays Griddlebone. It was deemed unwise to do this, since the actor playing Gus (Sir John Mills) was 90 years old at the time, and Growltiger was a very active character. It was, however, in the stage production.

6. Jemima and Skimbleshanks' voices were dubbed over.

Answer: True

In the credits, it said that Jemima, Skimbleshanks, Mungojerrie, and Rumpleteazer were dubbed. I do not believe this. I believe that Drew Varley (Mungojerrie) and Jo Gibb (Rumpleteazer) did their own singing for this film, and so do many others. You can read it on almost any "Cats" website. Veerle Casteleyn (Jemima) was dubbed either because they didn't want her Dutch accent to come through or they thought she would have trouble with the English lyrics. Geoffrey Garrat (Skimbleshanks) was dubbed because they needed Skimbleshanks to have a Scottish accent.

7. Who sneezed during Skimbleshanks' number?

Answer: Rumpleteazer

She did this right after his line, "And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze." Victoria's face after this sneeze is hilarious.

8. What did Mungojerrie wear over his unitard?

Answer: shirt

Rumpleteazer wore a leotard over hers. Their number is possibly my favorite out of the entire thing.

9. Who was(were) the first cat(s) to jump up after it seems all the cats have fallen asleep in the Jellicle Ball?

Answer: Coricopat and Tantomile

Coricopat and Tantomile were a pair of male and female twins that looked exactly alike and did everything in perfect unison. Mistoffelees and the twins seem to have a strange sense of intuition.

10. How many numbers does the Rum Tum Tugger sing a solo in?

Answer: 5

He sings in "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats," "The Rum Tum Tugger," "Old Deuteronomy," "The Jellicle Ball," and "Mr. Mistoffelees." Thank you for playing my quiz.
