Mistoffelees is a magician cat like his stage counterpart, however he is very meek and insecure about his magical abilities in the movie.

Role
Mistoffelees is a hapless magician who lacks confidence in his skills. It isn't until his big number in the movie that he gains confidence and rescues Old Deuteronomy.

Appearance
Similar to his stage counterpart, Mistoffelees is a tuxedo cat. He is frequently seen wearing a top hat and jacket which seem to be inspired by the Pearly Kings and Queens.

Behind the scenes
Laurie Davidson had to prepare choreography for his Mistoffelees audition, but because he is not a trained dancer, his audition dance was - in his own words - "awful" and "brazen". However, this caught Tom Hooper's attention and influenced what the movie character would become.
