‘The Cat In The Hat’ Review: Bill Hader Takes The Dr. Seuss Chaotic Cat Into New Dimensions In A Delightful And Long Overdue Animated Feature Debut

Bill Hader voices the Cat in a new animated feature based on Dr Seuss’s 1957 book, giving the character his first animated film debut. The review says the film’s added backstory and imaginative visuals make the long-awaited adaptation a smart, funny and heartfelt introduction to Seuss’s world, with appeal for children and adults.

The story follows the Cat as he visits siblings Gabby and Sebastian after their move to a new flat, where their mother is often away working at a hospital. He works for an institute devoted to imagination and inspiration, and his mission to cheer up the children leads to magical journeys with the Cat, their talking goldfish Waffles and the Things. The film also marks the first feature from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation.
