Movie Preview: Bill Hader voices “The Cat in the Hat”

A new animated take — amped up beyond the wildest anarchy Dr. Seuss ever dreamed up, with fart jokes — on one of the most beloved children’s books in English comes our way Feb. 27.

The brand is established. It’s been filmed before — animated for TV in the ’70s, given a live action Mike Myers take in the early 2000s.

And no way is Warners not milking that intelletucal property for a few more millions.

Feb. release will give it a clear field of family filmgoers. And one gets a strong “The ‘New’ Minions” vibe from the way Thing One, Thing Two et al are being treated here.

Hader seems like a safe choice for The Cat.
