The Cat in the Hat (film)
The Cat in the Hat( also known as Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat) is a 2003 American fantasy comedy film directed by Bo Welch in his directorial debut and based on Dr. Seuss' book of the same name.
Starring Mike Myers in the title role, Dakota Fanning, Spencer Breslin, Alec Baldwin and Kelly Preston, it is the second and final live- action feature- length Dr. Seuss adaptation after" How the Grinch Stole Christmas"( 2000).
Tim Allen was originally cast in the title role, but dropped out due to work on" The Santa Clause 2", to which the role went to Myers.
Filming took place in California for three months.
While the basic plot parallels that of the book, the film filled out its 82 minutes by adding new subplots and characters significantly different from the original story, similar to" How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
Released theatrically on November 21, 2003 in the United States, the film underperformed at the box office( having grossed merely$ 133 million worldwide against a budget of$ 109 million) and received largely negative reviews from film critics for its adult- oriented humor, innuendos( which they found it unnecessary and insulting to the source material despite having some faithful elements), screenplay, direction, character development and Myers ’ performance, while David Newman's musical score and production values were mostly praised.
Following the film's release, Seuss' widow, Audrey Geisel, decided not to allow any further live- action adaptations of Seuss' works to be produced, to which a sequel based on the second book," The Cat in the Hat Comes Back", was cancelled.
