The big screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical boasts a fur-midable cast including Taylor Swift, Idris Elba and Jennifer Hudson.
However, many online were left feline confused about Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper's new creation.
Film critic Wenlei Ma wrote: "I have no words. It's just a jumble of emotions ranging from horror to befuddlement."
"Oof, this cast is so haphazard," opined Candice Frederick, who was left scratching her head. "I forgot Jason Derulo was in this too... I really wish I saw the Broadway show because I can't make heads or tails of what is even going on in this trailer."
Laura Kramer added: "Still excited, also very confused."
"What were they thinking?" asked The New York Times, which notes "we have five months to get used to it," ahead of the movie's December release.
