Warner Bros. Pictures Animation has released a trailer for its animated feature The Cat in the Hat, starring Bill Hader as Dr. Seuss's iconic character. The film follows the Cat as he's sent on a mission to cheer up siblings Gabby and Sebastian after their family moves to a new town, but his chaotic methods backfire when he loses a magical time-traveling device called the Go Backer.
The animated adventure marks Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's first full-length feature and is designed to launch a planned series of Dr. Seuss adaptations. The film is scheduled for international release on November 4 and a North American theatrical and IMAX release on November 6, according to Spotlight Report.
A High-Stakes Mission for the Cat
The Cat receives his assignment from the I.I.I.I., an organization that reminds him all his previous assignments have failed. This mission to cheer up Gabby and Sebastian is his last chance to prove himself — or he loses his magical hat forever. According to Bleeding Cool, the film expands on the basic concept from Dr. Seuss's original book, creating a larger adventure world.
When the Cat's chaotic methods accidentally cause the Go Backer device to disappear, the siblings agree to help him recover it. In exchange, the Cat promises to undo the family's move to their new town. The trio then travels through a colorful world of memories together, where the Cat gradually learns that a new home can bring new experiences and opportunities.
Star-Studded Voice Cast Brings Characters to Life
The film features an impressive ensemble cast beyond Bill Hader. Quinta Brunson, Xochitl Gomez, America Ferrera, and Bowen Yang voice major roles in the adventure. Hey U Guys reports that Matt Berry voices a talking fish, whose ability to speak is credited to the Cat's magical influence. Giancarlo Esposito and Paula Pell round out the supporting cast.
The mischievous Things — the Cat's troublemaking companions — also appear in the trailer. Interestingly, Thing 2 is apparently absent from the footage released so far, leaving audiences curious about the full scope of chaos the pair will cause in the final film.
Creative Direction Blends Animation Styles
Directors Erica Rivinoja and Alessandro Carloni helm the project, which employs an innovative combination of animation styles to bring Dr. Seuss's world to vibrant life. TV Central confirms the film represents Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's ambitious foray into feature-length storytelling, building a foundation for future Dr. Seuss adaptations planned for the studio.
