Part 3 of 8 for Turner Fearure Animation’s “Cats Don’t Dance” (1997). Some trivia: Several actresses auditioned for the role of Sawyer, and indecision led to many scenes being animated to a different actress. Jasmine Guy was eventually chosen … when the project was 90% complete! The original voice for the character was much deeper, resulting in a noticeable contrast between Sawyer’s final speaking voice (Jasmine Guy) and singing voice (Natalie Cole).

Enjoy.
