The Cat in the Hat (2003)

EPISODE 025: WEIRD @ WR&P

 

Standing firmly in its “mild cult following”, Ryan and Kevin aka Thing 1 and Thing 2 delve deep into the magical madness of 2003’s The Cat in the Hat. This Dr. Seuss adaptation certainly presents as a wacky wonderland full of jokes and hijinks, however, over the film’s 82-minute runtime, it slowly uncovers sweet-and-sour secrets. From director Bo Welch’s experience as a production designer for Tim Burton to the instilled playfulness of Seuss’ original work, The Cat in the Hat remains a walking contradiction continually pacing through our minds.
