The Cat in the Hat – 6.5/10
Bill Hader voices the Cat in this bright, loud animated take on Dr. Seuss, built around a chaotic visit that spins out of control. Critics praise the energy and animation but call the story uneven and the jokes hit-and-miss. It plays best to younger children and Seuss fans.
