The Cat in the Hat: Difference between revisions

* [[Double Entendre]]: The live-action adaptation was PACKED with them. One of the most prominent being The Cat saying "Dirty ho!" as he throws away a garden ho.

* [[Everybody Owns a Ford]]: A Ford Focus hatchback in Egg Yolk Yellow or a decidedly non-stock lime green, with equally non-stock wheel spats that spoil the car's lines.

* [[Franchise Killer]]: It did well at the box office, but good luck finding someone who likes it. It was bad enough that Dr. Seuss's estate no longer authorizes live-action film adaptations of his books.

* [[Groin Attack]]: The Cat disguises himself as a pinata at a birthday party, kids hit him with plastic bats, and then a bigger kid with a big wooden bat orders them to move out of his way.

* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: Happens with the Cat's hat when the picture of [[Squick|Conrad and Sally's mom]] falls open, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|revealing]] that she has something of a... dirty past.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: This was co-produced by Universal and Imagine Entertainment, which had mounted the live-action version of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Film)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''. Comedy star Mike Myers being cast as the Cat is a clear analogue to [[Jim Carrey]] as the Grinch.
