A new animated version of The Cat in the Hat is set to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation in 2026. This film seeks to return to the charm and whimsy of Dr. Seuss's original character, distancing itself from the live-action portrayal by Mike Myers that emerged in 2003. The new movie, directed by Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja, expands on the Cat's world while keeping aspects of the original story, where he entertains two kids on a rainy day, much to the dismay of their pet fish.
Warner Bros.' animated movie is clearly expanding significantly on the Cat's world and his background, while still retaining some of the framing from the original picture book.
The first teaser trailer points at a version of the character who looks, sounds, and feels a little more like Seuss' version, give or take the inevitable fart jokes.
