This feline friendly Hunger Games remake uses cats to interpret the hit movie. The movie starring Jennifer Lawrence was based on the dystopian series by Suzanne Collins. The second instalment in the series, Catching Fire, will be released in theatres November 22.
Uploaded to YouTube on The Pet Collective's channel, The Hunger Games by Cats closely follows the main plot points of the first movie, copying costume design and lines straight from the film. The combination of internet phenomenons like cats and fantasy-related fandom is truly unbeatable.
The story is told using the heads of real cat actors and cardboard, with marker-drawn sets, costumes and props. The cats used in this video are surprisingly co-operative, making the role of Catniss Everdeen a standout performance.
