This is a live action version, but both motion capture and digital animation were used in the production.
Yes, Tom Hooper chose to use the same technique used in Les Miserables. The cast sang live rather than to a playback track.
The cats in the show refer to themselves as "Jellicles." The term has a long history: it's a contraction of the phrase "dear little cats," turned into a nonsense term in poetic style for Eliot's 1936 poem "Pollicle Dogs and Jellicle Cats." In Eliot's imagination, Jellicles were black-and-white cats with nocturnal tendencies. But in the Lloyd Webber musical, they embody a broader array of colors and looks.
At least one. Even if you don't like Corden, he can hardly be blamed for this monstrosity.
