The cat falls flat: new animated Cat in the Hat movie trailer leaves Twitter uninspired – 13 especially catty responses
Dr. Seuess’s iconic kitty is using up another one of its nine lives in a new animated movie coming out next February. The trailer does little to distinguish itself from all of the other overly sanitized animated kids movies Hollywood keeps pumping out.
The first trailer for ‘THE CAT IN THE HAT’ animated movie has been released.

It’s a shame, too, as the original Dr. Seuss source material created a world of whimsy and chaos that sparked imaginations.
The new trailer falls more in line with a straight-to-streaming winter castoff. You can’t judge a book by its cover, but Twitter can judge a movie by its trailer. Here’s what users had to say. (The claws were out.)

Can’t wait until they cancel this release and count it as a tax write off.
