The Truly Bizarre History of The Cat in the Hat
7,775A deep dive into the truly bizarre story of how Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat evolved into a movie. We go far beyond just the 2003 film itself, as its journey from a simple book to the big-screen has a surprising amount of fascinating history…and lots of twists (not to mention cancelled films) along the way.
Special Thanks to Jawad Mir of Kingdom of Dreams Podcast for permission to use exerts of his interview with The Cat in the Hat’s director, Bo Welch.
