The movie might by too scary for preschoolers as several children in the screening I went to seemed scared and wanted to go home.
What Was Good
The colors and the songs.
The movie is entertaining and full of nostalgia for those who remember the books.
The Things in all different shapes and sizes were great, and finally finding Thing 2 was a great reward.
The characters were good, including non-human ones such as Waffles the Fish and Tutus Burgess
What Could Be Better
The Daffy Duck short “Daffy Season,” playing in front is so different from the feature, it might cause confusion.
Why You Should See The Cat in the Hat
The Cat in the Hat is a classic and more content from Dr. Suess is always a good thing.
