Yes, it may be a bad movie, but the Cat in the Hat movie is fucking iconic. It’s unintentionally hilarious and legendary in the fact that it was the reason Dr. Seuss books aren’t allowed to be made into live action movies anymore. I remember it fondly from my childhood, and maybe that’s why I still find it somewhat enjoyable.
Some movies are bad then some are legendarily bad, so bad that all bad movies must be compared to them. Bad sequel? Highlander 2: The Quickening Bad indie drama? The Room Bad children’s movie? The Cat in the Hat
This was the shit when I was a kid. Hilarious, fast-paced, nonsensical and just a wonderful kind of “WTF?” laughter the whole way through. It’s always a little tough to watch critics tear it apart when you remember it so fondly.
Actually now that I think about it maybe I can agree with LS Mark and say: *You probably can't kill the Cat.* This is the very creature that's strong enough to endure a harsh car crash like nothing having consistently treating abuse like sick amusement, fast enough to vanish from people's line of sight and appear right next to them multiple times making a blur in the process that one time he did the whole S.L.O.W and S.H.I.T vehicular joke, can throw off people in more ways then one flawlessly even going by to plan out the whole thing and pretty much does anarchy to the our normalities doing anything he wants for the fun of it... And unlike the seemingly pacifistic version of the original THIS version of the Cat In The Hat is not afraid to fight dirty *(Remembers the Cat with a Bat Meme as an example.)* So if he wanted to he can kill us all is the scary part as he is clearly unbound by our rules.
I heard that before I saw it and wanted a movie made of it. The image that went with it made me want a movie to allready exist so I can put it on repeat
Shame we got some hit-and-miss cgi films from frickin illumination. Thankfully, Green Eggs and Ham is excellent. Now if they can do the same justice to the other Seuss titles.
@@battlion507 Green Eggs and Ham is actually done by Warner Bros. and not Illumination though. I think the problem is that Illumination just doesn’t understand what made Dr. Suess’s work so great.
I disagree. I think a lot of people are watching the trailer and expecting something they shouldn't. Cats is a Broadway musical first and foremost, and Broadway fans are going to be their first concern. No, just listening to the Hamilton soundtrack doesn't count as making someone a fan. Every person I know seriously into the theater is looking forward to this movie. We can see the stage influence. Non-theater people are expecting a movie where the cats look like real cats. They don't onstage since they are humans in cat costumes. And since this is an adaptation of that, the overall appearance is something that won't change. It would be like making Christine Daeé (most theater people think that movie is bad, because it is, but I digress) into a 25-year-old woman who is very mature and has short blonde hair. The whiplash would throw the audience who know the source material the best. (This is also why Victoria, the white cat, is still white despite being played by a half-white-half-black dancer--she's meant to stand out on stage as the only white cat, an innocent kitten who dances instead of sings.) I can't wait for the movie.
@@authoralysmarchand4737 you know what would make the musical fans like it... not haveing a bunch of Hollywood stars do a Broadway Show use actual costumes instead of CGI at least get actors who can sing you know... like a Broadway fan would like
I'm a little surprised when you brought up how terrible the makeup is, you didn't mention the Grinch movie. Even if you don't like that movie, the Grinch makeup is at least better than this and Jim Carry could properly act in it.
I still don't understand how the drastic the makeup quality is between those to films. The Grinch in that movie looked amazing. Dare I say it looks like there isn't even a person under the makeup. Meanwhile the Cat looks literally like just a guy in a suit.
@@metademetra I think one of the reasons is that The Grinch makeup had hair going past Jim's cheek bones and was designed with wrinkles on top of natural wrinkles in the face, allowing exaggerated expressions through otherwise restrictive rubber and plastic. The Cat uses a similar makeup style, but not the method. In their attempt to make whiskers, they halted the fur at the cheeks and applied a prosthetic nose. This would be passable with a decent palette choices for the face, but they applied the same heavy plastic without wrinkles. So Myers looks like he was in a cutout more than looking like an actual character.
I love Theodore Giesel. Before becoming a children's writer he was a political cartoonist who lambasted the American government for not getting involved in WW2 faster. He was such a salty, petty, angry man, but deeply believed in his stance on helping children no matter where they came from or what they were struggling with and he focused his intense anger so well to make something to spark their imagination and desire to learn. I'm a kindergarten teacher for a living and every time we finish our phonics work early the kids want to use the extra time to hear "Green eggs and ham" read to them.
The bit about the cat rhyming? There is an easy fix; "Why I'm The Cat in the Hat, there's no doubt about that. I'm a super fundiferous feline, who's here to make sure that you're BOTH/DOING FINE"
Oh, the story of how Suess wrote the Cat in the Hat is an awesome one. It actually started when someone wrote an article that called out the Dick and Jane books for being boring and the reason the U.S. was performing terribly in language arts compared to the rest of the developed world (The books were boring so kids didn't want to learn how to read) and then out right called out Dr Suess daring him to write a better one. Suess at the time wrote books for 7-8 year olds and never wrote a book for early readers (5-6). He took on the project thinking it would be easy but had major issues when he realized the limited vocabulary he was bound by (the only 100 or so words a 5/6 year old could be expected to read) made it nearly impossible to write a coherent story with an actual plot. It took him a year and a half (Hell, the first Twilight book was shitted out in three months), and it completely revolutionized children's literature. It was literally the first of it's kind. No early reader book before told an actual story. They were literally all like the Dick and Jane books, just random sentences (See the red ball, the ball is red, red red red, etc.)
Oh I Must say, A wonderiforous treat for us on this day Krimson rogue vs the cat in the hat ? You have no idea how long I have waited for that. Oh how he will rip and he will tear As he attempts to contrast and compare A book for the ages filled with fun on each of the pages. And a film so disturbed the fact it was made is frankly absurd. Okay im done
Fun Fact: Mike Myers did not want to be in this movie; he was legally forced into acting in it, so it's possible that acting like a total diva off screen was him *deliberately trying* to get fired.
I’ll tell you WHY he was legally forced to star in this movie. He had gotten in trouble with Universal and Imagine Entertainment for trying to cancel a proposed movie based on his SNL sketch “Sprockets”…..so part of the deal with them in the end was that Myers had to work on a different movie for them.
@@trev358 I agree. It just shouldn't have been *_THIS_* movie. EDIT: before anyone says another thing, I mean the _studio_ shouldn't have picked _The Cat in the Hat._
"None of the crew cared" idk about that, the sets look really cohesive, the colours match up to the tone of each scene, the costuming (on human characters) is clear and characterful. That extensive CGI work would have taken such a lot of time and effort, regardless of how it doesn't hold up now. The crew did good work! Aside from that Cat's... whole deal... and other non human characters. And the CGI really doesn't hold up yikes @ that fish, but I'd readily believe the crew cared about this movie.
I'd love to see a movie about Dr. Seuss himself. The guy had a very interesting career. He wrote his first book on a whim because he was taking a cruse and liked the rhythm of the boat engine, so came up with a rhyming story to go with it, and the ONLY reason he was able to get it published was because he literally bumped into an old friend walking down the street who just happened to have just started a job at a publishing company. And that's just the start of his career. The story of how the Cat in the Hat came to be is also fascinating and probably worthy of it's own movie just for that.
This movie might be absolutely terrible, but goddamn if Mike Myers doesn't try his best to make it not terrible, shame it doesn't really work, points for trying. And another anniversary and still not even at 100k, *WHY DOES RUclips HATE KRIMSON SO MUCH* .
Dude. My dude. I came so far in art out of pure spite to a multitude of adults who told me I have no talent in art and I need to drop it. And to my ex "bestie", who constantly dragged me down and made fun of my art. Its why I adore Dr. Suess. He is my spirit animal, my comrade in spite. I swear at this point I am still breathing due to spite. I watched it once as a kid. And I realise now how much I repressed. MAKE IT STOP Also accurate representation of owning a cat. You love them with all your heart, but man if they arent a hazard to anything breakable on your desk.
The TV show on PBS is awesome, literally an animated version of the cat in the hat book. Even as a teen I still like it. Actually teaches kids something. :)
@@gracekim25 It is mentioned in the final cut of the movie, but it was still Larry that originally suggested it. The deleted scene just explains why he wanted to get rid of Conrad.
In your 50k Q&A you said that you weren’t sure if your audience was interested in the storyline in your reviews. While I cannot speak for the entire fan base I personally love it and can’t wait for the rest of the story. P.S: I read Micro god, and love it keep up the good work.
I remember watching the PBS show “The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about that”. It’s a simple and easy education show with the Cat in the Hat basically acting like Ms. Frizzle. However, one of the things that I liked about it was the fact that Martin Short was the voice of the cat. He was perfect as the cat with his wit and his cadence. Martin Short, the perfect Cat in the Hat in my opinion
kingofmonsters14 I put most of the blame for that movie’s failure on Sony. Apparently the version that ended up in theaters and on home video was heavily edited about a month before its release (basically half of the movie was cut).
I remember watching this when I was a kid at a beach house my family was renting for a week during summer break. It rained heavily for the whole week, and we had exactly three DVD’s to choose from in the rental house: the complete 3rd season of Golden Girls, a documentary about songbirds in western Oregon, and The Cat in the Hat. It made me extremely uncomfortable for reasons that I couldn’t articulate at 9 years old and it significantly damaged my trust in kid-oriented media. Kids have simpler standards for entertainment than adults, but they still have standards. The only good that came from that week was that I learned a lot about songbirds and Betty White.
This just gives me that much more of a love and Appreciation for how much work Ron Howard and Jim Carrey put into The Grinch. Jim Carrey was in severe pain donning the costume and contacts while Myers was demanding like a cry baby and The Grinch worked so much Because of Carrey's ingenious performance because he cared.
This is probably moot to comment on something as old as this; but I wanted add that they were also considering using CGI for the background and special effects for The Grinch, but decided sticking to practical effects and sets.
I'd say Myers' is better. They're both garbage, but at least Cat In The Hat has a reason for looking like trash. CATS had the resources to make its CGI look good, or even just do makeup (nobody was complaining about the original costumes), but they didn't. Cat In The Hat didn't even have the technology to do the required effects
Seuss was straight up a surrealist though, I'm completely convinced he would take one look at this movie and go "dear Jesus this is ridiculous, I love it"
Thank God this isn't a scene-by-scene Blockbuster Bastardization review. I think I'd question my sanity if it were. (Side note: I was actually surprised in the Adaptation section that you added a tune from Jeremy Soule's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets video game)
okay but did anyone grow up reading the peter and jane series to learn english? cause the only thing in my head now is: "Jane likes Peter." *next page* "Peter likes Jane." *next page* "This is Pat the dog."
Dr Seuss didn't want his books to be made into films, but after his death his wife sold off the rights and let them be turned into movies. this nightmare even goes against Dr Seuss's wishes.
When I saw the notification: "Yes! I get to see Kyle rant about a failed movie adaptation!" Sorry Krimson, I thrive in your pain. Edit: 'Dr Seuss wrote the books to spite Dick and Jane' Like how Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet to make fun of fleeting 'love at first sight' of teenagers.
When I saw the thumbnail to this video and noticed the running time was only twenty-five minutes, I thought “oh, Krimson is going to _slaughter_ this movie”
I think it's because Jim Carrey's Chaotic acting style kinda fits right in with Seuss' stories. Mike Myers is a bit more reserved, and his attempts to be over the top happen in all the wrong places.
Rewatching myers face in this film, His eyes in all of his monologues look like hes literally reading a teleprompter from never seeing these lines before in his life.
Ay ay ay AY... I mean, if anyone wonders about that repo scene shown at @10:17, it goes nowhere in the final film. _BUT_ in a deleted scene, the Cat and the kids track down Larry to a tacky TV store, where the Cat disguises himself as a tiger-skin rug by flattening himself and replacing it. I just typed that from memory... I've said too much.
Appreciating your use of Kingdom Hearts music good sir. I can recognize the Dream Drop and Birth By Sleep a mile away. And just having good taste of music in general. Keep up the good work, and may your sanity continue to endure!
Honestly, as a kid, I really did enjoy this movie just because of how stupid and ridiculous it was. It's a part of my childhood I'll never forget. I get why some people despise it, but it'll always hold a special place in my heart. That being said, it was fucking hilarious seeing you rip it to shreds like this.
Dr. Suess was awesome...and the fact he took great pride in forcing Dick and Jane out of librbaries just made my day. I salute you, Dear Dr. I salute you. And when I first heard they were making this film, I was actually excited. Then I saw the preview, and I was horrified. I knew it was going to be a trainwreck.
They tried to get some of the 2000 The Grinch's success. Thing is, that movie was good and Jim Carrey was perfect for the role. They tried to do the same here but relied too heavily on the quirky set and getting another well known comedian in the lead. At least for me The Grinch was great. It's my favorite Christmas movie.
"...the audiences are different, so the standards are different." I disagree. I think the main problem is that the actors who play the kids are dull as bricks. And there's a difference between flawed characters, and characters being so unlikable that you can't relate to them. The kids in the original story were normal kids, but at least they learned something about breaking the rules, but having some sort of responsibility. When it comes to storytelling, I think the standards should be the same regardless of audience. The stories just have to be well written, and the reader/viewer needs be treated with respect.
If anything good childrens media is harder to make, because they are usually more netpicky about it and pay more attention. There is a reason why avater is still popular and other popult childrens cult shows, they know they shouldnt treat kids as dumb.
Correction, Kids have less tolerance for dull storytelling and will be less forgivable, they also have to get them since the start and get the storytelling basics right. Good childrens media is a genuine piece of art.
I would make an argument for Bella having to much personality too. Though, maybe choices is a better term. You're supposed to be able to insert yourself in her place. However, the choices she makes are things that a lot of people would never do. Or would even want to do. As for this movie, I saw it as a child amd hated it. The jokes weren't funny, I agreed with Conrad being sent to military school, I felt bad for the mother, a lot of the adult humor was pointless (especially since my mother wasn't watching with me), and while I didn't find the cat scary, I was incredibly bothered by thing one and thing two. It was a mess.
I didn't know about the good Dr.'s disdain for Dick and Jane, but that just makes me like him more. My mom made my brother learn to read using those (circa 2002/'03) and both he and I hated them with a passion. Even back *then* I realized how asinine (and outdated) they were. Also, I remember seeing the movie in theaters when it first came out and being absolutely terrified. So there's that.
No wonder Dr. Seuss's widow declared she would no longer allow any more live-action adaptations of her late husband's books after this movie premiered.
Good. At least after this, we recieved an actually good Dr. Seuss theatrical film involving one of his first characters Horton the Elephant.
Lisa Plambeck yeah I totally understand that
Mitchel Anhalt “good” is a bit of strong word. Ok? Yeah. Good? Mherh
Thank God she did
Even life-action Grinch movie wasn't that cringe.

Sounds like what Mike Myers said to his career upon involvement with this movie

The Cat in the Hat feels like a “what if” Dr. Suess wrote about what might happen if Dick & Jane were visited by the Mad Hatter.
Spite is a powerful motivator. I have a degree and career to prove it!

Also accurate representation of owning a cat. You love them with all your heart, but man if they arent a hazard to anything breakable on your desk.
The TV show on PBS is awesome, literally an animated version of the cat in the hat book. Even as a teen I still like it. Actually teaches kids something. :)
It got imported into HOP! (an isreali kids tv channel) where it I think it did will.
The show was awesome! and conveniently it came on right as I had to leave for school, so it was a great alarm.
This film was my childhood. Probably explains why I’m a masochist
Well at least I'm not the only one who was psycholotic enough to watch it more than once as a child..
And here I was afraid that I was the only one who grew up more familiar with this movie than one ever needed to be.
Solidarity.
Thats a yikes from me
It's shown in a deleted scene that Larry is trying to send Conrad to military school so that he can turn his room into a media center.
Jer Gross darn it why didn’t they keep that in
This movie is so padded, they should have kept that. It's not like "cut for time" is a valid reason here.
Actually wait isn’t military school mentioned by the mother at one point
@@gracekim25 It is mentioned in the final cut of the movie, but it was still Larry that originally suggested it. The deleted scene just explains why he wanted to get rid of Conrad.
@@inkmaster5480ah ok
The whole wash hands/hand sanitizer thing feels a lot like my work now, with the Covid 19 outbreak
(sees title of video and immediately sits up)
*FRY IT, KRIMSON.*
In your 50k Q&A you said that you weren’t sure if your audience was interested in the storyline in your reviews. While I cannot speak for the entire fan base I personally love it and can’t wait for the rest of the story.
P.S: I read Micro god, and love it keep up the good work.
Same bro! Krim, if you're reading this, I loved the story parts of your reviews.
The Robertsons Random the story line stuff in the review itself is pretty cool
Dr Seuss is rolling so fast in his grave that Universal could connect jumper cables to him and use him to power Universal Studios.
I remember watching the PBS show “The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about that”. It’s a simple and easy education show with the Cat in the Hat basically acting like Ms. Frizzle. However, one of the things that I liked about it was the fact that Martin Short was the voice of the cat. He was perfect as the cat with his wit and his cadence.
Martin Short, the perfect Cat in the Hat in my opinion
I agree. It's actually pretty not that bad..even I liked it.
Didn’t even watch video in full and I already agree with Krimson-
Love your vids btw! 💜
Wow. Wasn't expecting a dr. Seuss review
Can we please appreciate that Addams Family joke for a second, cause that was too perfect.
surprisingly, it sounds like Alec Baldwin TRIED in Thomas the Tank Engine. they knew it was a kids movie, but they all tried regardless
kingofmonsters14 I put most of the blame for that movie’s failure on Sony. Apparently the version that ended up in theaters and on home video was heavily edited about a month before its release (basically half of the movie was cut).
I remember watching this when I was a kid at a beach house my family was renting for a week during summer break. It rained heavily for the whole week, and we had exactly three DVD’s to choose from in the rental house: the complete 3rd season of Golden Girls, a documentary about songbirds in western Oregon, and The Cat in the Hat.
It made me extremely uncomfortable for reasons that I couldn’t articulate at 9 years old and it significantly damaged my trust in kid-oriented media. Kids have simpler standards for entertainment than adults, but they still have standards.
The only good that came from that week was that I learned a lot about songbirds and Betty White.
This just gives me that much more of a love and Appreciation for how much work Ron Howard and Jim Carrey put into The Grinch. Jim Carrey was in severe pain donning the costume and contacts while Myers was demanding like a cry baby and The Grinch worked so much Because of Carrey's ingenious performance because he cared.
This is probably moot to comment on something as old as this; but I wanted add that they were also considering using CGI for the background and special effects for The Grinch, but decided sticking to practical effects and sets.
@@littlegiantj8761Jonny The film already had a lot of cgi backgrounds, the world felt much more immerversive because of the practical sets.
The hand sanatiser jokes aged very well.
Fun fact: my great-grandmother actually met Dr. Seuss. He almost become my step-great-grandfather.
So Is Myers' makeup better or worse than the CATS 2019 trailer?
Both are equally horrifying
Jessica Carter Better. Not that much better, but at least I can look at Myers without wanting to puke.
Given that the butthole version of CATS is supposedly a thing Imma have to say this one is better.
I'd say Myers' is better. They're both garbage, but at least Cat In The Hat has a reason for looking like trash. CATS had the resources to make its CGI look good, or even just do makeup (nobody was complaining about the original costumes), but they didn't. Cat In The Hat didn't even have the technology to do the required effects
Um at least i can handle looking at the cat 😅 cats not so much 😳
"I have to go to the hospital!"
*Conmercial for medical school plays*
Me: That's fortuitous.
Seuss was straight up a surrealist though, I'm completely convinced he would take one look at this movie and go "dear Jesus this is ridiculous, I love it"
He would hate it
This movie is a masterpiece if you pretend it's an adaptation of Stephen King's It.
Enders game or I am number four please and great your back
I'm actually writing the script to the I Am Number Four script now.
Thank u
KrimsonRogue I just realised something. I Am Number Four is your fourth Alex Pettifer movie.
Man, that right there was some cringe induced neck trauma.
“This right here might be the lowest point in Alec Baldwin’s entire career.”
…How are we going to tell him? 😬
Thank God this isn't a scene-by-scene Blockbuster Bastardization review. I think I'd question my sanity if it were.
(Side note: I was actually surprised in the Adaptation section that you added a tune from Jeremy Soule's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets video game)
okay but did anyone grow up reading the peter and jane series to learn english? cause the only thing in my head now is:
"Jane likes Peter."
*next page*
"Peter likes Jane."
*next page*
"This is Pat the dog."
Dr Seuss didn't want his books to be made into films, but after his death his wife sold off the rights and let them be turned into movies. this nightmare even goes against Dr Seuss's wishes.
"Let's just speed through the rest of the movie." Thank you for sparing us.
Oh yeah another review. Got my popcorn and drink ready!
"You want fun? Add a little chaos." That sounds like something The Joker would say.
*Cat in The Hat*
*Catwoman*
*Cats (2019)*
Cats don’t seem to not mix well with cinema.
This review is funnier than the movie.
I loved the 2010 animated series as a kid, it’s really good for education and was a favorite for me.
Not a review that I expected to see in 2019, but I'm here for it.
When I saw the notification:
"Yes! I get to see Kyle rant about a failed movie adaptation!"
Sorry Krimson, I thrive in your pain.
Edit: 'Dr Seuss wrote the books to spite Dick and Jane'
Like how Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet to make fun of fleeting 'love at first sight' of teenagers.
Eh. It's my own fault anyway. :P
We can only wonder how many times Dr. Seuss rolls in his grave with stuff like this
When I saw the thumbnail to this video and noticed the running time was only twenty-five minutes, I thought “oh, Krimson is going to _slaughter_ this movie”
So glad Hollywood didn't bastardize my favorite dr. Seuss books.
Green eggs and ham and star-belly Sneetches.
Hell yeah, Star-Bellied Sneetches!
What do you mean bad? This is one of the greatest horror films to date!
More Krimson! Always more Krimson! I can never get enough of your "The Book Was Better" series.
The CGI characters in this makes the Cats and Sonic movies look like the How to Train Your Dragon
"You whizzed on my taco" is an iconic line-
Personally l like the Jim Carey Grinch Movie but The Cat In the Hat movie is terrible
I’m ashamed I used to like it as a kid.
I think it's because Jim Carrey's Chaotic acting style kinda fits right in with Seuss' stories. Mike Myers is a bit more reserved, and his attempts to be over the top happen in all the wrong places.
The Cat in the Hat (the book) is the type of character that would antagonize Bugs Bunny.
The thumbnail 😂😂😂
Rewatching myers face in this film,
His eyes in all of his monologues look like hes literally reading a teleprompter from never seeing these lines before in his life.
I like that you used clips of In Search of Dr Suess for this. That's a neat documentary.
Ay ay ay AY... I mean, if anyone wonders about that repo scene shown at @10:17, it goes nowhere in the final film. _BUT_ in a deleted scene, the Cat and the kids track down Larry to a tacky TV store, where the Cat disguises himself as a tiger-skin rug by flattening himself and replacing it.
I just typed that from memory... I've said too much.
That scene was hilarious
15:36 The addition of Morticia made this scene so much better!!
my personal favorite line from this movie was, and I quote:
"I'll get you, and I'll make it look like a bloody accident"
it's the little things.
Appreciating your use of Kingdom Hearts music good sir. I can recognize the Dream Drop and Birth By Sleep a mile away.
And just having good taste of music in general. Keep up the good work, and may your sanity continue to endure!
Honestly, as a kid, I really did enjoy this movie just because of how stupid and ridiculous it was. It's a part of my childhood I'll never forget. I get why some people despise it, but it'll always hold a special place in my heart. That being said, it was fucking hilarious seeing you rip it to shreds like this.
I like it because it is plain stupid and funny at the same time.
I think "The Grinch" did so well that they threw money at this movie.
Man honestly i love your choice of the soundtracks in the background 😀 I think i stay a while and have an eye on your channel^^
Dr. Suess was awesome...and the fact he took great pride in forcing Dick and Jane out of librbaries just made my day. I salute you, Dear Dr. I salute you.
And when I first heard they were making this film, I was actually excited. Then I saw the preview, and I was horrified. I knew it was going to be a trainwreck.
Its gets better knowing he, Stan Lee, and Tokien worked together in the army in WWII
@@zom8979 They did? That is totally amazing. Thank you for sharing that
I thought you was going to talk about the one made in the 90's.
Because that one was beautiful.
Are you kidding me? This is the greatest horror movie I have ever seen.
When I was a kid, this movie legit terrified me. Whenever it was on the TV, I would run out of the room and hide for hours until it was over.
That title screen brings back so much nostalgia from my DVD copy 😅
Well it's a good horror movie. Truly terrifying :P
13:55 FEELING FINE! THAT’S THE RHYME!!! It’s bothered me since my childhood.
They tried to get some of the 2000 The Grinch's success. Thing is, that movie was good and Jim Carrey was perfect for the role. They tried to do the same here but relied too heavily on the quirky set and getting another well known comedian in the lead. At least for me The Grinch was great. It's my favorite Christmas movie.
I read the lorax in kindergarten and then a kid tried to tell me that dandelions are tiny truffala trees.
The power of spite is not to be underestimated
That Humberfloob guy was really onto something with that hand sanitizer, huh?
This movie was especially sad since the animated cartoon was literal genius. It was fun, emotional, weird, and MEMORABLE!
That intro music gave me kingdom hearts flash backs
"...the audiences are different, so the standards are different."
I disagree. I think the main problem is that the actors who play the kids are dull as bricks. And there's a difference between flawed characters, and characters being so unlikable that you can't relate to them. The kids in the original story were normal kids, but at least they learned something about breaking the rules, but having some sort of responsibility.
When it comes to storytelling, I think the standards should be the same regardless of audience. The stories just have to be well written, and the reader/viewer needs be treated with respect.
If anything good childrens media is harder to make, because they are usually more netpicky about it and pay more attention. There is a reason why avater is still popular and other popult childrens cult shows, they know they shouldnt treat kids as dumb.
Correction, Kids have less tolerance for dull storytelling and will be less forgivable, they also have to get them since the start and get the storytelling basics right. Good childrens media is a genuine piece of art.
19:14 Mike Myers is also a perfectionist according to Film Brain in The Love Guru (2008 movie) review
I would make an argument for Bella having to much personality too. Though, maybe choices is a better term. You're supposed to be able to insert yourself in her place. However, the choices she makes are things that a lot of people would never do. Or would even want to do. As for this movie, I saw it as a child amd hated it. The jokes weren't funny, I agreed with Conrad being sent to military school, I felt bad for the mother, a lot of the adult humor was pointless (especially since my mother wasn't watching with me), and while I didn't find the cat scary, I was incredibly bothered by thing one and thing two. It was a mess.
Yes.
This movie would be Alec Baldwins lowest point in his career.
The cat in the hat…and nothing else.
Oh no. It's him.
7:58 **hears Birth By Sleep music**
Can I hit the Like button more than once?
I didn't know about the good Dr.'s disdain for Dick and Jane, but that just makes me like him more. My mom made my brother learn to read using those (circa 2002/'03) and both he and I hated them with a passion. Even back *then* I realized how asinine (and outdated) they were.
Also, I remember seeing the movie in theaters when it first came out and being absolutely terrified. So there's that.
10:06 oh how this aged poorly.
context?
@@TauGeneration He shot someone by accident while on a production
I was gonna say that too!
