"The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss was first published in 1957, and remains one of the top ten best-selling hardcover children' books of all time. The mischievous feline visitor in the striped stove-pipe hat makes his big screen debut with this live-action production, which will bring the delightfully off-kilter Dr. Seuss characters - as well as some new ones crreated especially for the film - to life on the big screen.
