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 written by Alec Berg, David Mandel and Jeff Schaffer. Loosely based on Dr. Seuss's 1957 book of the same name, it was the second and final live-action feature-length Dr. Seuss adaptation after How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). The film stars Mike Myers in the title role along with Alec Baldwin, Kelly Preston, Dakota Fanning, Spencer Breslin, Amy Hill and Sean Hayes in supporting roles.
Production on the film began in 1997 with Tim Allen originally cast in the title role. After Allen dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with The Santa Clause 2 (2002), the role went to Myers. Filming took place in California and lasted three months from October 2002 to January 2003. As with the previous Dr. Seuss adaptation, many new characters and subplots were added to the story to bring it up to feature-length.
The Cat in the Hat was released in theaters on November 21, 2003 in the United States by Universal Pictures and internationally by DreamWorks Pictures. It received extremely negative reviews from critics, who criticized the humor, the designs of the Cat and Thing One and Thing Two, the performances, and lack of faithfulness to the original story. It underperformed at the box office, grossing $133.9 million against a budget of $109 million. The Cat in the Hat appears on several lists of the worst films ever made. Seuss's widow, Audrey Geisel, was dissatisfied with the film and prohibited any further live-action adaptations of her husband's works, resulting in the cancellation of a sequel based on The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. Beginning with Horton Hears a Who! (2008), all Dr. Seuss film adaptations have since been produced using computer animation.
In March 2012, an animated remake was announced by Universal and Illumination, but never came to fruition. As of January 2018, that remake is once again in development, now at Warner Bros. Pictures Animation.

Cast:
- Mike Myers as the Cat in the Hat, a 6 ft. tall, anthropomorphic and large humanoid wise-cracking cat who wears an oversized red bow-tie and a magical red-and-white striped top-hat that reveals many humorous gadgets. Tim Allen was initially considered for the role of the Cat.Spencer Breslin as Conrad Walden, Joan's imaginative, yet destructive and misbehaved, 12-year-old son, and the older brother of Sally.
- Myers also makes uncredited appearances as the Cat's disguises throughout the film:
- Mr. Catwrench, a mechanic who helps Sally and Conrad fix their couch.
- The Guy in the Sweater Who Asks All the Obvious Questions, the blonde-haired and bespectacled host of the fictional TV cooking show "Astounding Products".
- Cheshire Cat, a chef from Cheshire, England who is a guest on "Astounding Products".
- Zumzizeroo Man, a hippie who offers a petition to stop the senseless, wholesale slaughter of the fictional flatulating, acid-spitting Zumzizeroo creature to Larry as part of the Cat's plan to rescue Nevins.
- Myers also makes uncredited appearances as the Cat's disguises throughout the film:
- Dakota Fanning as Sally Walden, Joan's dull, somewhat bossy, well-behaved and rule-obeying 10-year-old daughter, and the younger sister of Conrad.
- Kelly Preston as Joan Walden, Conrad and Sally's mother, a workaholic real estate agent.
- Alec Baldwin as Larry Quinn, the Waldens' arrogant, lazy and unemployed next-door neighbor. He is allergic to cats, steals food from the Waldens unnoticed, and is determined to marry Joan to mooch off of her wealth and send Conrad to military school to get rid of him.
- Amy Hill as Mrs. Kwan, an overweight and elderly Taiwanese woman who was hired to watch the children, but sleeps through her job, which (as well as her weight) serves as a running gag.
- Sean Hayes as Hank Humberfloob, Joan's germophobic boss. He is seemingly friendly, but is quick to fire employees for even the smallest infractions (such as for shaking his hand which he does not allow since he hates germs), often in an extremely loud tone of voice.Danielle Chuchran and Taylor Rice as Thing 1, and Brittany Oaks and Talia-Lynn Prairie as Thing 2; two gibbering trouble-making creatures that the Cat brings in with him. Dan Castellaneta provided the voices for the Things.
- Hayes is also the voice of the somewhat cynical, pessimistic and sensible family fish.
- Steven Anthony Lawrence as the Dumb Schweitzer, an intellectually and socially inferior pre-teen boy with a Bronx accent. When Cat disguised himself as the piñata at a birthday party Sally was left out of, he whacks Cat in the groin with a wooden bat. His name is only mentioned in the credits.
- Paris Hilton as a female club-goer.
- Bugsy as Nevins, the Waldens' pet dog. Frank Welker provided his voice. Welker had previously provided the voice of Max the dog from How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
- Candace Dean Brown as a secretary who works for Humberfloob Real Estate.
- Victor Brandt as the Narrator, who tells the story; he is revealed to be the Cat using a voice-changer at the end.
