"Cat In The Hat" REVIEW

The Cat is back bringing the magic of Dr Suess to a whole new generation of story watchers and there is a bit of nostalgia that will have older fans soaking up the moment.

The new adventure drops audiences right in the middle of the Cat's latest assignment as he makes yet another family of children happy, though he isn't always the cleanest in his mission. When he gets bavk to headquarters he is immediately summoned by the boss, Mr Hoogeboom and Sherry From HR who ultimately gives the cat one more chance by attempting the most harshest of critics to make happier on a all too glum rainy day. And he must do it with little help from the supply closet. His only help is the enfamous "gobacker" which will essentially clean up any mess.

The latest version of Dr. Suess' Cat in the Hat stars an all star line up of voice actors including Bill Hader voicing the lovable Cat in the Hat. Additionally, Quinta Brunson, voices Sherrie from HR, Giancarlo Espositto takes on the voice of Mr. Hoogeboom and the new family Cat must cheer up is voied by America Ferrera as Mom, Xoxhitl Gomez as Gabby and Tiago Martinez as her little brother Seb.

The new version will have different generations enjoying what is ultimately a timeless cartoon that goes back nearly 70 years from the orginal book. This fully animated version does a good job of sticking to the classic while bringing something for each person watching. Kids will love the fun colors and goofiness of the film, whil adults will get a bit emotionally thinking of their childhood of the past and what they essentally gave up for the adult world. One would argue if they really gave up the imagination or perhaps used a portion to aid their dreams of the future.

This version of Cat in the Hat came out in theaters Nov 6, 2026 over 20 years after the last live action, animated film with Mike Myers surfaced in 2003. It's certainly that much of an instant improvement as new viewers voyage in the movie theaters for an all new adventure. See it for a fun loving good time into the World of Imagination through the eyes of Dr. Suess himself.
