Fun Fact, this movie was so terrible that Dr Seuss’s widow prohibited anymore live action movies of her husband’s work from being made.
That's when you know a movie is really bad
His wife canceled his works long before it was popular.
I don’t blame her for that, because frankly the world only needs two of these gems.
It's true but can anyone blame her?
@@Shiny_Plume I’m not sure, I would have loved to see a live action Lorax with Danny Devito.
No joke, I genuinely feel like the world is missing a brightly coloured, over-saturated surreal horror movie; like Too Many Cooks, but a feature length film.
greener grass sort of lol not really horror tho
Kind of how Midsommar was a bright horror film. A remake of Parents from the 80's done in this vein by someone at A24 could make it a banger.
Yesssssss
@@yourlonglostbeachball OH YEEAAAHH!!
We need an Alan Resnick feature length film is what you're saying
The Taiwanese parliament bit is actually accurate. There are constantly actual fights breaking out in their parliament.
honestly all parliaments are fucken insane
That's even actual footage of a fight that broke out there too. Minus the dumb chop-socky sounds, of course.
Never expected the phrase “Cat in the Hat political commentary” to really come true
I need to know why
i thought that was edited
you're telling me they put actual grainy VHS footage of a real life parliament into "The Cat in the Hat"?!
The director of this film, Bo Welch, was the set designer for many early Tim Burton films, which is a big reason why the set design is so out there and unique.
He also did the secret base from the MIB films
Yea I was going to comment it felt a lot like Edward Scissorhands in the neighborhood shots.
This movie is my “So bad, it’s good” movie. It has no rules, no logic and it just does whatever the fuck it wants and carry no shame about that. The cupcakes scene is a masterpiece of batshit surrealist nonsense and I love every single minute of it.
I’m not far behind you honestly
Mine is "Master of Disguise." It's so painfully unfunny it rolls back around to being hilarious in how terrible it is
100 percent agree
Same. I watched this movie all the time (we didn't have much to watch, plus, I was young enough to think if the movie was made, people must like it since it was made by an adult and all) and I am just enjoying their reaction and being rehorrified by some of this. It's great 😆 🤣
I enjoy how memeable it is. Even if a movie isn't good, I'll give it a pass if it can generate semi-ironic laughter.
"Are we going to see racist caricatures of Asian people in the background of this movie?" Nope, in the foreground.
"...sometimes, foreshadowing is relatively obvious."
that just how important the asians are
It surprised me when they said that. What exactly makes the babysitter a stereotype? Just from wearing thick glasses in a film where most things are exaggerated for comic effect? Then these supposedly-not-racist-but-certainly-ignorant pals drop the "wait how does Taiwan have a Parliament" line in a tone implying they shouldn't...
@@christophertheriault3308 I know! Like, she’s just asain, when they said it was racist, I think that was racist. Just because there’s an asian character doesn’t mean it’s racist??
@@bjorkbork5717 Everyone who riffs or reviews this movie seems to think Mrs. Kwan is a racist caricature, and all they can ever point to as proof is her thick glasses and accent, as if Asian people never have accents. Like, yeah, WWII propaganda depicted Japanese soldiers with big Coke bottle glasses for some reason, but does that suddenly mean every depiction of an Asian with thick glasses is racist? Should we get angry over every nerd character in anime with the big opaque swirly glasses too? Let's also consider the fact that she's played by Asian actress Amy Hill, and yet people seem to think this is a Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's situation.
Anyone else find themselves re-watching the Adum and Pals watch alongs regularly? They're cozy and always watchable, somehow.
I literally loop these things on repeat in the background cause of how cozy they are man
i watch the playlist at least once every month. It is weirdly cozy
Okay good, so it's not just me...
Yup. They're one of my regular playlists to fall asleep to.
They just added the Twilight series to Hulu ~ nothing like a comfy hate watch
I have two weird connections to this movie:
1. I got to see it in a private showing b/c some girl in the grade above mine's dad was involved in production. I think we may have actually been a test audience but it was all under the disguise of the girls birthday? Anyways, I was pretty young and it was the most baffling film experience of my life. I don't think I had ever actually disliked a movie before that. Like, I didn't even know disliking a movie was an option until this thing traumatized me...
2. I hung out once with the dude who played the main kid in this a few years back. Super nice guy. I didn't have the courage to ask him about the movie though, lol. I figured he'd probably heard it all already.
That's mental!
Are you the only one who didn't put rocks in your pockets and walk out into the ocean 😂
@@Magicalnora everyone else already had taken all the rocks around!
Yea? well MY dad works at Microsoft and he makes EVERY game and I'm in them all!!
I was with you up until ‘like, i didn’t even know disliking a movie was an option before this’ lmao wtf does that even mean bruh did you live in north korea? Pretty sure all kids dislike whatever they want without any worries about it ‘being an option’
A24’s ‘Cat in the Hat’ works way too well.
Cat with a Hatchet
I need this on the clips channel right now
That was pretty funny but it was definitely more like a Blumhouse trailer
Cat Comes At Night
@@Cavirex He's a juggalo now?
Fun fact: when Dakota Fanning's character in Twilight says "P A I N", she's actually projecting this movie in her victim's head via telepathy.
That is a god tier joke 😂
You sure it wasn’t the Twilight movie itself?
@@alexgomez6723 Twilight is nearly a cinematic masterpiece compared to this fever dream...
Specifically the part where the Cat turns to camera in the climax of the film to get in a quick plug for Universal Studios.
@@Thetruthiscosmic At least Twilight has quiet moments
I actually unapologetically love this movie, it's made me laugh for years and I actually love how surreal and uncomfortably designed it is
You have good tastes.
thank god i'm not the only one 😅
It's a decent surreal comedy, but it's an AWFUL adaptation
I love uncomfortable comedy so much and the set design is immaculate.
One of my biggest put offs with this film is honestly just it's nasty colour pallette, it unironically makes me feel kinda nauseous looking at it lmao
The easiest way to make this a horror is to recolor all the purple goo in the film to a dark, viscous red. Immediately upsetting
Fun fact: The cinematography in this movie was made by Emmanuel Lubezki
who worked on films such as Children of Men, Tree of Life, Gravity, Birdman and The Revenant
I was stunned when I saw his name in the opening credits
Well I guess you have to start somewhere.
One for thee, one for me, as they say
I cannot believe that you commented what I was about to say.
That is a very fun fact
i'm kinda disappointed "this isn't the WORST tuesday of alec baldwin's life" didn't make the cut
i knew something was missing
@Mario ???
@Mario no he shot a woman to death
@@krusher181 Alec Baldwin raped and killed a girl in 1990.
At least I snuck "serial killer" in there
It's weird to say, but I actually really like the pastel 1950s aesthetic of this film. It's so artificial and off-putting in the right kind of way that it would be the perfect setting for a horror movie.
I personally love the scenery design of this movie, for all of the wrong reasons. I interpret it as one big critique of North American urban sprawl. In particular: I love this shot at 1:22. It had to have been made out of a hatred of modern suburbia, because it beautifully highlights what critics say is wrong with modern urban planning. The sparsely placed, copy-pasted houses in the middle of nowhere. The long driveways and separate garages for for the car that you absolutely have to own, because there is no other viable way to navigate this place. There is absolutely nothing of interest anywhere to be seen and therefore, no reason to leave your house. Kids being raised in this community will spend their entire childhood getting driven to school, then back home where they would rather stay inside and play videogames in the dark than go outside and walk or bike to see...what exactly? Another block that looks virtually identical to the one they were just in? If they want to do anything fun outside of the house, they will have to be driven. They will always be dependent until they can drive themselves, and the cycle can continue.
This is a perfect depiction of my personal hell. I wonder if Adam Something and Not Just Bikes have seen this. I'm sure they'd love it.
It wouldn't be so bad a design if the color palette wasn't puke green and Barney purple
I... don't know if this is unintentional? The kids are clearly miserable and their bumblefuck neighborhood is a driving factor behind this. Little conrad or whatever the fuck his name is has to slide down the stairs for fun because trying to walk to an actual playground would lead him getting steam rolled by a pick up. A man in the fur suit is the most excited they've been since birth and henry ford is to blame.
Whaaaaaaaaat????? You're telling me it's an over the top caricature of the suburban american 60's???? Like half of Tim Burton's films??? Damn that's original.
@@blujaebird ikr? Clearly this was directed by David Lynch
@@blujaebird That it's not an original style at all
“I think it was written for the film.”
-Adum on The Beatles’ ‘Getting Better’ being performed by Smash Mouth for “The Cat in the Hat.”
I wanted to cry.
Yeah I was internally screaming. Sgt Pepper is one of my favorite albums and I felt so insulted.
Yeah it’s bad enough that Smash Mouth had to go and shit all over that song
Truly sad. They probably think not listening to the Beatles is cool, fucking jaded hipsters man
To be fair the song is so mangled it’s barely recognizeable.
If you haven't destroyed the blu ray for this yet, I highly recommend watching the director's commentary. Alec Baldwin is in it for some reason and they just talk about random shit and have to occasionally remind themselves to get back on track and talk about the movie
In other words, he's like me when I do my reaction videos.
I like at the end of that commentary when you hear a gunshot and then it just abruptly ends.
@@HOTD108_ 😆
Between "A24's Cat in the Hat" and the "Cool Cat Rings", Adum has proven to be one of the greatest horror trailer editors of our generation.
GRINK
I don't think these are edited by Adam, coz his wrists
The Thing 1 and 2, plus Cat jumping at the ceiling edited right after each other with that music is insanely funny and actually genuinelly thrilling
I want to see this type of movie now
I think they confused A24 for Blumhouse lmao.
Also, hookers have higher standards than you.
This is my guilty pleasure movie. The insanity of it all and the delivery of so many of the lines make it hilarious and memorable to me. This movie is 100% the polar opposite of everything a Cat in the Hat movie should be and I love it for that.
Agreed!
The fact they’re mostly speechless or confused on defining it as a movie just makes the film better. It’s like a paradox of a movie lol
I watched this movie fairly recently because my wife wanted me to see the absolute insanity that is this movie and I had the exact same opinion as you. The absolute absurdity that is this film made it extremely entertaining. It’s just how fascinating how chaotically horrible the movie is I can’t help but love it.
I strongly suggest the Game Grumps episode with Dan Harmon where they play the Cat in The Hat game. The insanity continues. I'd love to see these guys play that game.
I find the whole thing obnoxious in a awful way lol The cat talking to the audience with every joke really ruins it
And the test audience put rocks in their pockets and walked into the ocean is probably the most bizarrely funny line i've heard in a long time
caught me so off guard I laughed a full 15 seconds later
Im stealing it. Fantastic line.
Scoot definitely has creativity when it comes to getting past the "in Minecraft" meta
Thanks guys
the only test audience to ever commit mass sucide after watching a film...
To me this film is pure schadenfreude. I know how much everyone making it hated making it, and thus, I enjoy it.
Did the people making it hate it?
I don’t get that at all from the movie. I feel like making it was a blast
@@maikydiboy6377 idk about absolutely everybody but I know Mike Myers has gone on to say that all the prosthetics were absolute hell to wear and he spent large chunks of his performance actively attempting to sabotage the movie
@@metaldude4563 oh thats kind of disappointing to hear that he tried to ruin the film. I know that jim carrey experienced the same discomfort from the full body prosthetics and actually wanted to quit. The director encouraged him to stay on board for the sake of the kids and hired a guy that could train people to endure torture. Jim carrey was recommended to smoke as much as possible, eat everything he saw, and have his friends hit him or hit himself so that he could distract himself from spiralling.
@@smurfette_blues7922 I also think Myers was contractually obligated to do the movie which could explain some of the hostility
That trailer was spot on. I bet if you applied to A24 and submitted that...you'd get hired.
was that music from an actual trailer? it's fucking awful
it even had Michael Myers
Someone actually used footage of this to make a babadook parody.
There is, in fact, a Cat in the Hat ride at Universal. While it's adapted from the books and not the movie, it's just as horrifying.
Lmdooo I came here to say this. And they have a section for all of it during Christmas time
It is a surprisingly violent ride (movement wise).
@@FrankETaylor Not anymore, the spinning broke.
This movie has been a guilty pleasure for me as a kid, and it keeps getting better and funnier every single time I watch it.
You’re the first person I’ve ever seen use a miracle era queen pfp, good on ya man
Same. This movie is timeless
For me it’s only pleasure
@@waxmeltfan Thank you. This is one of my favorite pictures of Queen.
Same. I'm fully aware it's garbage, but I have stupid fun with it.
One of the biggest aesthetic problems with this movie is that the super-stylized production design of the "regular" world undercuts the contrast between what it's like before and after the Cat shows up. In the book the house is drab and unremarkable, not the 1950s as envisioned by Pee-Wee Herman.
Exactly the same problems with Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Fair point.
So true! I get the kids are bored but the bright fun colors and zany set designs aren’t communicating drab and gray. You could at least understand why the kids would think the cat is kinda fun if he turned their normal looking world into a cartoon, which would be so much more interesting anyway
The hyper plastic doll-esque design also adds to the uncanny feeling, like this is a different world in of itself with a fake smiling suburban nightmare motif slapped on top. Not to mention so many rooms are green, which is a classic color signal for unease when not in nature. It’s so uncomfortable, so many of these design choices would fit in a horror that I’m having to remember they were going for fantasy whimsy instead
the design wouldn't be so bad if the color palette wasn't puke green and Barney purple.
That's one reason why I consider Netflix's _The Little Prince_ a pretty great example of film adapted from children's lit -- even though it had an enormous name to live up to. The film fabricates a modern-day world and plot around the original story, but these are brilliantly distinguished in two different animation styles. (And it stars Jeff Bridges.)
...It was also beautifully subtle compared to this trash. I can't imagine being a parent and having to sit through this.
I love how Gael was just in a living nightmare the entire time, and we could all hear it in his voice. The desperation, the hopelessness, the incomprehension.
Coming here after news. It's sad, but let's remember Scoot for all of his jokes and not his death. RIP.
I'm aware of the cringe of this movie, but man do I just enjoy the hell out of it.
You said it
I agree. It's "so stupid it makes me laugh" but I honestly can't watch it more than once.
The chaos is WHY I love it. The Cat isn’t some crazy dude with weird tools, he is a magic being of chaotic good. With a focus on the chaos.
Same
Factsss
Well tbh apparently the original script was written by Tim Allen, who was terrified of the Cat as a kid. He's quoted saying he wanted to recreate that same feeling in the movie.
It's funny because I hated it as a kid, too. I felt like I was being punished when my parents read me Dr. Suess, it was so unlikable and unpalatable. Kind of like this movie.
wack
He wrote it during his coke years, didn't he?
@@timb4248I felt the same, but mostly about the cat. I remember feeling horrified after the being read the book, and even more so when, after being asked, my classmates agreed they'd want the Cat in their house. Like hellll no 😂
I don't know if I believe you, but I really want to
The ford presence was insane in this movie! Every single car was a debadged focus except at about 15:13 there’s a thunderbird as well. Menacing hellscape of ford
It makes sense, this is what Detroit looks like.
Brave new world
Adam telling Scott that his art is weird is one of my favourite moments in the AnP filmography
He just says it so bluntly
"i don't even know what to say, it's like the movie is just performing at me" vexel summed the entire film up better than any synopsis could
Oh my God...it just occurred to me that *both the child actors* would grow to have *younger siblings that have better acting careers* than they do currently. 😆😂😆
Oh shit, you're right. Maybe this is the movie that actually broke both child actors' acting career

That’s fucked up. But kinda true I mean they’re both still working actors but your comments not wrong lol.
ouchhhh
I also want to HEAVILY thank the editor for not showing the scene where Alec Baldwin shows his gross fat stomach and picks at his belly button. You are a real hero!
It's funny to know that this movie was so awful that Dr. Seuss's granddaughter literally shut down any future live adaptations of his works, and it's even hilarious to know that Mike Myers tried everything to get out of doing this movie but Universal threatened to sue the shit out of him so he basically just trolled through the whole thing
some guy who got top comment said it was his widow who do I believe
@@hamkiller6969 If you google it, Dr. Seuss had no children, so I'm assuming that top comment is probably more accurate. Not sure where granddaughter came from lmao.
@@flocabGD lol thanks for clearing it up
why did universal try to sue Mike Myers lmao
@@mr.patriotjol they threatened to sue him for breaking contract
This movie was a guilty pleasure for me and my siblings. We watched it at least a hundred times while growing up. I could probably watch it again and recite almost every line from not only the film but from the outtakes and deleted scenes.
Same. The cooking show violence and the bat to the balls were basic enough comedy that we could enjoy it.
I watched this movie so many times as a little kid. I didn’t know what a bad movie was back then
Dude same! I kid you not me and my siblings can also recite all of that stuff
The deleted scene of the Things drinking too much to cause a local road flood to stall for time still sends me to this day
The FBI better have you on a watchlist.
nothing like hearing the phrase “are you implying Israel isn’t fun” and discussion of Israeli and Palestinian existence in a *Cat in the Hat* (2003) commentary to melt my brain on this lovely Friday
This has nothing to do with what you said though I agree, I just wanted to point out that you have the most vampire name ever and I think that's badass.
Fun fact: I had my first and only "bad trip" in college by mixing this movie with mushrooms. It bothered my roommates and I so bad that we couldn't finish it! Im happy to see that it's just as scary while being sober.
Ow dear god I can only imagine. Thoughs and prayers.
This movie's hilarious. You are a wuss lol
Not sure why, but 17:14 is my favorite line Scott ever said. I just love how he delivers it and I've definitely been in that scenario. Rest in Peace Scott.
they showed this film to my class in kindergarten and the school had to issue an official letter apology because of the psychological trauma it caused us
If it’s not hand sitter it don’t mean sht
Totally.
Why was is such a persistent problem in school that a teacher would plan a movie day then realize to their horror about an hour in that the film in question was Not At All what they thought it’d be. Like, did you really not go in for a preliminary watch just to make sure this film was suited for your students? Did you really think that all the old Popeye’s cartoons aged well and in a completely non-problematic way despite coming out in the 40s?
@@PineappleLiar It’s not like anybody in the world expected this movie to be what it is
@@DeathnoteBByeah, but teachers should still vet the movie and make sure it's okay to show in class lmao
We watched it in class but at a much older age (around 4th grade) so I think it was more suited towards kids between 9-13 lmfaoo
**I watched the movie at home with my parents when it came out
So with an adult perspective, yeah if I watched this I wouldn't show it younger than 4th grade. Only because id fear 7 and younger getting nightmares about a cheery book turned to this.
Grinch, I would advise watching with your children later in life (16+) to let them with new knowledge, see how many adult oriented jokes absolutely filled the script.
I actually remember watching this when it came out. It actually scared the shit out of me. I also remember the cat yelling "SON OF A B-" scene differently. I remember Cat boi actually saying bitch, but they bleeped it out while the audience cat covered the kids' ears. I'm guessing they censored it in later releases.
Yeah that's exactly what happened. I remember the same scene
That's the version I saw.
Oh yea I used to have that on dvd
I'm gonna be real honest: the cutting off of the tail plus the bleeding swearing was and will always be the peak of this movies comedy
12:51 This aged amazingly
I love when people expose how little thy know about the world by saying dumb shit like this. The war has been going on since the 1940s.
I honestly love this movie and even as a little kid, I really got a huge kick out of it since it was the first self-aware/surralist film I've ever watched! The overall 'sterile' aesthetic of the cookie cutter neighborhood VS the clash of various aesthetics within the box really adds to the vibe as well!
"This is lynchian" - adum
Honestly might be a connection there because I like a lot of weird shit and religiously watched this as a kid
i love it as well
Described it perfectly! I feel like this movie helped build my taste for more weird and nonsense comedy
I'll probably never rewatch it but I'm glad it exists.
This, Barnyard and Bee Movie are arguably the innovators of the meme cinema current.
13:19 the comedic timing was perfect XD
Hi Sonic!
DO A CAT IN THE HAT SUCKS VIDEO ASAP. lol
Could not have timed that better
Purrrfect
If you are talking about the universal tickets part, I watched that part 4 times listening to them loose their absolute marbles.
"I read Dr. Suess as a kid; I don't remember wanting... to die."
God when I tell you I was ROLLING--
The way Scoot immediately goes: "No, I'm not answering any questions you have." after Adum's "uuuuh, ok" is amazing.
“A monster? Where?!” is one of the funniest intros for any character ever

I can't believe Adum was watching a movie with his dog while there was a tiger in the room too. Absolute madlad.
Beyond the jokes, this really frightened me when i was a child. The cat has a very agressive tone talking to the children (and from a child perspective he s an adult because of his size) and imposes them random and dangerous things all the time
There is something very Faustian about the cat. You get this feeling that he is trying to lure the kids away.
Same, I felt that out of nowhere it could become an actual horror movie
Oh yeah I was horrified by this as a kid. The book was like here’s some silly nonsense but this direction they took with the Cat acting like a mean adult was just unnerving and scary when they couldn’t get him to go away, like a nightmare. No whimsy only cynicism which is a weird take for Dr Seuss
full agree. cat is just downright terrifying.
What spooked me the most was how he was annoying them and ruining their lives and they somehow couldn’t even get rid of him! The thought of not being able to get away from him literally filled me with dread. I was RELIEVED when he left before they cleaned up the house, because I literally just wanted him gone.
I think the A24 spoof more properly reflects my memory of this movie than actually watching it.

It seems like Hollywood isn’t capable of adapting live-action cats without making them look absolutely terrifying.
Just imagine that they tried doing humanoid dogs
Maybe john favreau was onto something with his photo-realistic documentary take
I just want to say there's a 1998 Cats film that's just them filming on a soundstage and it all works _just fine_ . The costumes, to me at least, are appealing.
The 2019 crew had a recipe to follow but they for some reason threw it out.
Not Hollywood and not fully a cat but 1946's beast from the french Beauty and the Beast looks pretty darn good.

Cat in the Hat is just Mike Myers playing all of his tropes from literally his entire body of work. That wheezing gag is a common one.
This issue with the look of this movie, is that it doesn't actually look like Dr. Seuss book. It look like a room in an Ikea. Dr. Seuss is more then just bright 70s colors (Which is another thing, the color palate seems off to me) but he also had a lot of curves, and cartoony deigns. Everything looks too straight, too perfect. There aren't that many weird deigns either really.
It feels like they took a bunch of generic furniture, and painted it bright colors. Like Ikea.
All that’s missing are those Swedish meatballs
Citizen Kane walked so The Cat in the Hat (2003) could run.
The only movie that has managed to keep the Twilight Bros in a permanent fight or flight state during the entire runtime.
@13:55 we can see where Midsommars director got the inspiration for shifting and contorting the screen to recreate a feeling of unease that often accompanies a bad trip or a nightmare. Truly avant-garde stuff.
No one will read this but these Adum and Pals commentary tracks give me so much comfort and let’s me fall asleep with limited stress and depressed thoughts. I relate to Scoot’s humor immensely and the camaraderie you all share.
Only bad thing about these tracks is the scarcity of them lol
I read this. And I'm Scoot. So you did okay.
As someone who's also going through the same stuff, I second this
At first I wasn't into it but they grew on me!
That A24 trailer edit was masterful.
8:43 my god, they were right. The shift in tone was so drastic with such minor tweeks that my hand reflexively moved to skip the ad for some horror movie.
Sometimes I just open Adum & Pals videos and just keep em on repeat for hours on end. I've rewatched most of these like 5 times at least.
I loved this movie as a kid, still do. Its so balls to the wall and visually distinct i can't take my eyes away. I bet you could take a still form any frame of this movie and people would still know its from Cat in the Hat.
I remember our teacher in middle school put this on during the end of the year and even though we were like 10 or 11, it was too much for us and we begged the teacher to turn it off. Sensory overload.
Lol your class was weak, this was my shit growing up and instilled a love of absurdism in me lmao
I would watch this shit back to back as a child, on several screens. Your class was simply w e a k.
love how casually Adum just drops the best horror movie trailer this year in between
I’m pretty sure Myers’s was forced into this role by Universal. He wanted to do Shrek but the studio believed Shrek would fail so they made him do this in return for his ‘passion project’. Apparently Myers was NOT happy about any of it and was a total diva about all of it
I'd like to see it recut as a horror movie without changing the color palette. There's a lot of psychological horror potential in forced cheerfulness.
I distinctly remember this film being played almost every 3 or 4 days on Cartoon Network like a few years ago for about a year straight. God that was traumatizing.
I’m reminded of the trailer edit for It that replaced Pennywise with this Cat in the Hat, which made it much more terrifying.
You mean less
I was about to comment about that.
Man, I just watched this movie with my daughter and was absolutely reveling in the batshit nonsense. It’s kinda fun to just switch off your brain, let a chaotic Cat-Deity take the reins, and watch a lead actor try to sabotage the movie he’s starring in.
"The movie is performing at me" I swear that's what it's like on shrooms lol Gael out here with the deep facts
When people use the expression "felt like a fever dream" this movie is the only thing that fits that box for me.
I watched it alone very late at night while I was zapping through channels on vacations. I was so bored and I knew the movie wasn't good but I was totally invested in it. I don't wish to watch it ever again, but I'm so happy I did that one time under those conditions.
Try Son of the Mask or Monkeybone if you’re looking to have more fever dreams…
@@Cooley360 oh my god, son of the mask....I watched that with my mom and I couldn't understand just what I was even watching.
@@Cooley360 Actually when I was a dumb little kid I liked son of the mask purely for the fact that Milo got to wear the mask, then I watched it again when I was more grown and understood why people hated it.
And with Monkeybone I used to run into the tape's cover all the time in the movie rent store when I was a kid (we went there a looooot). One day when we didn't know what to rent I suggested we give it a shot and it was just a shitty as my mom thought it would be. But I was just glad I got to see it cuz I was curious about it due to the cover.
Sorry for the long comment, just felt inclined to share cuz I was familiar with both movies lol
This movie would play a lot on Cartoon Network back in the day, and so I'd watch it all the time. Rewatching this with the commentary was a fun, horrifying, nostalgic experience.
7:58 Now I see where the inspiration for Sonic's first design came from.
I honestly always loved the set of this movie. The color coordination of the boss and all the green. The weird, bold, plasticine town. The uncomfortably fake and perfect cookie-cutter neighborhood. The absolute batshit world inside the box. I love it.
That being said, i would absolutely watch a gritty cat in the hat horror movie
Robert Eggers really outdid himself with this one
This film makes Suesical look like a masterpiece. That musical might be batshit with too many unanswered questions but it understood Seus
this film understood Suess far more. It's *actually* surrealist instead of just recreating Suess's work.
I thought that said Suesidal and didnt even think twice ab it
@@MagicTacoXB Pretty much the feeling it leaves you with.
6:03 I would like more context on this interaction and some proof of Scoot’s art somehow being “weird” to someone like Adum.
Here's my FurAffinity and Adam is wrong: www.furaffinity.net/user/tigreblanco/
Judging by what Adam is saying, Scoot is into transformation fetish art. Aka humans transforming into furries. And what he says about "the halfway point between anthro and human" is true. Unless you're into it, it's really weird. Imagine the scenes from movies where the werewolf changes but without any of the style or class of those scenes.
14:13 Cool Cat is back and better than ever
3:21 *sad Taiwanese noises XD
I don't get the joke to be honest - they know Taiwan is a democracy, right? Interestingly, brawls seem to have happened quite a few times there, didn't know that before.
The sad part for the guy making the comment is, Taiwan's electoral system is way more functional than the US's.
@@vags1234 basically any and every joke Scoot ever makes is ironic bigotry. The joke here is he's parodying racists believing non-white cultures are backwards and savage.
@@vags1234 Ah, a couple of non-joke-getters I see. To explain the joke and completely ruin it, China doesn't acknowledge Taiwan as a country, and I am of course Team China.
@@idiotweasels I'm Canadian. And that's not really relevant to the joke.
this movie is a masterpiece idc what anyone says
4:44 - Me sick with COVID
Underrated
15:18 guys… that’s a Beatles song Smash Mouth is covering
It’s a banger too
3:39 “I went to school in Alberta”
I’m from Alberta and that comment out of nowhere WINDED ME
If you mute this video and listen intently you can actually hear Dr Seuss' grave rotating furiously.
Bill Murray would have nailed this role (as much as could possibly be). I can't even imagine what would happen if this was a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp production.
1:19 that has to be the biggest movie plot twist of all time
i really love this movie solely because of how psychotic it is
They really did need to go full Best of the Worst and destroy the disc on camera after this.
Yeah, also I would love to have seen their faces during all of this, just like a Best of the Worst.
Yeah, and then they could look up Rule 34 Cat in the Hat 🥵
Love your Icon!
Kitsune up!
🤘🔥🦊🔥🤘
That clip of Alec turning around to see the car would have been perfect in the A24 horror trailer, but that was excellent anyway!
I like that adam has a least favorite dog acting trope. I want him to make a list of the worst and best dog acting now
Now I want a video on the best and worst animal actors of history. (Lassie deserves #1!)
