Overview

Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003) is a live-action fantasy comedy film directed by Bo Welch in his directorial debut. Loosely based on Dr. Seuss's 1957 book, it stars Mike Myers as the mischievous Cat, a large, wise-cracking feline who brings chaos and fun to the home of two bored children, Conrad and Sally Walden. The film also features a supporting cast including Alec Baldwin, Kelly Preston, Dakota Fanning, and Spencer Breslin.

Though it was the second and final live-action Dr. Seuss adaptation, following How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), the film received mostly negative reviews. Critics cited issues with humor, character designs, and a lack of faithfulness to the original story, contributing to its underperformance at the box office. Despite the criticism, it became a notable pop-culture film, with Myers' performance as the iconic Cat being one of its defining aspects.

The film's production began in 1997, originally with Tim Allen cast as the Cat, but after his departure, Mike Myers stepped into the role. The film includes several added characters and subplots that were not part of the original book, contributing to its extended runtime.
