invisibleunicornninja I watched this at some point when I was younger after reading the book. It was pretty entertaining. Not the greatest thing ever made, but fun.

johnstonjames every time you bring up the Michael myers version of 'Cat in the Hat', Seuss fans scream, throw an indignant fit, and basically writhe around on the floor in disgust and outrage. they feel betrayed by it.i've never understood that attitude toward the film. i thought the mike Myers's film was a irreverent and hilariously funny adaptation. and in many ways it was more like the original Seuss classic book than Seuss's own television adaptation back in the seventies. not that the retro television classic with Alan Sherman as the "Cat" wasn't great, it was just a lot less like the book. even though Seuss wrote the cartoon himself.the mike Myers's version has always been unfairly slammed by Seuss critics as being too loose and unfaithful. i've never thought that fair, since the film included so many of the original story elements, mother's dress, the nets, even much of the same rhymes which were not included in the television cartoon.this is a great cartoon though and still stands the test of time when compared with recent hand drawn stuff on Nickolodeon or Cartoon network. and the best thing about this is it has music. timeless.

Eric Endres Having read the Cat in the Hat book many nights to my little girls, I was interested to see this version and also the new Mike Myers film. I returned the DVD of the Mike Myers film the next day after watching it, and this animated version I sought out to buy a copy of after borrowing it from the library. That should say it all.This is only a half hour program, but it is packed with wit, character and a lot of very memorable songs with tremendous melody and sophistication. They've fleshed out the original story with a lot of new jokes and an added twist of the cat looking for his "moss-covered, three-handled family grudunza". All of the choices were inspired, as it captures the spirit of the book and also adds much spirit to it.This "Cat" has a great cast of voice actors, great music, and great fun! 10 out of 10.

hfan77 I have seen The Cat in the Hat since the 70s and I think it's the best written cartoon on TV between the runs of Rocky and Bullwinkle and The Simpsons. The line I remember the most was the song that went "Hey! I'm a punk. A gratunculous shlunk." I also remember that the cat was messing up the house looking for his moss covered, three handled, three family gradunza. That would definitely be a Dr. Seuss line.Allan Sherman, in one of his last TV roles before his death in 1974 was sensational as the voice of the cat. I would also like to add that Gloria Camacho was the voice of the kid's mother.
