The Cat in the Hat is Cinema

Happy Birthday to David Newman, who did the score for The Cat in the Hat (2003).

Hey, everyone. I have decided, for personal reasons, to retire this online persona. I will never forget the great interactions I've had from it, and will always appreciate The Cat in the Hat for the truly astounding film it is. Thank you for everything. Adieu.

Also, I likely would have forgotten about this account long ago had it not gotten such a large following. Thank you, followers. For everything.

You know, even though the new The Cat in the Hat movie looks like crap, at the very least, I'll always have the 2003 one to come back to. And I'm grateful for that. That movie is amazing. Thank you, The Cat in the Hat (2003). For everything.

@JoshuaTookes @SuperBlakeFilms The TV special was lame tbh. It's not bad, but it's nothing too interesting. Easily the weakest Seuss special I've seen, the ones for How The Grinch Stole Christmas and The Lorax clear it HARD. I know I may seem... biased, but my opinion would be the same even without my fav.

@SuperBlakeFilms You know the tv special also exists right?

Taking a short book and expanding on it in a fun and interesting way, and taking a short book and pick the most boring fcking choice

WB has a history of not learning from mistakes, so it's not surprising.

And WB also plans to start a shared universe with it. Because a bland, generic animated film intended to set up a forced cinematic universe based on infinitely more imaginative and beloved properties from well-known creators worked so well last time.

So... This was a trailer alright. Yeah, to be honest, this looks... not too great. youtu.be/jz8pLlPhSeY?si…

Ok, I paused that quite a bit, time to watch it uninterrupted.

And, that's all folks.

Well, the trailer's out. It's been out, I guess I'm a little late. So I'll be giving my thoughts on the way as I watch it. A thread🧵
