A 1957 book reaches the screen in 20261957年的书，2026年才等到动画长片
The Cat in the Hat opens on 6 November through Warner Bros. Pictures, with Bill Hader voicing the title character and serving as an executive producer. Erica Rivinoja and Alessandro Carloni wrote and directed, and Daniela Mazzucato and Jared Stern produced. Deadline and Variety reviewed the film this week, and they agree on the release date and little else. It is rated PG. Both reviews note that this is the first animated feature taken from the book.《The Cat in the Hat》由华纳兄弟发行，11月6日上映，Bill Hader 为这只猫配音，同时担任执行制片。Erica Rivinoja 与 Alessandro Carloni 担任编剧与导演，Daniela Mazzucato 和 Jared Stern 担任制片。Deadline与Variety本周都刊出影评，两家在档期上一致，其余几乎都不同。影片分级为 PG。两家影评都指出，这是这本1957年的书第一次被拍成动画长片。
Even the running time does not match. Deadline lists 1 hour 43 minutes; Variety, which reviewed the film at a Warner Bros. screening room in New York on 28 October, records 107 minutes. Both describe a Warner Bros. Pictures Animation release made with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, and both note that it is the first feature from the animation division as reconstituted under Bill Damaschke.连片长都对不上。Deadline 写的是1小时43分钟；Variety 于10月28日在纽约华纳兄弟放映室看片，记录为107分钟。两家都称这是华纳兄弟影业动画部与 Dr. Seuss Enterprises 合作的发行项目，也都提到它是 Bill Damaschke 接手重组的动画部门的第一部长片。
A cat with a job, two children and a talking fish一只有工作的猫、两个孩子和一条会说话的鱼
Deadline sets out the premise. The Cat works for the Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, reports to an impatient boss named Mr. Hoogeboom, voiced by Giancarlo Esposito, and is dispatched to cheer up Gabby and Sebastian, two children who have just moved into a new apartment with their mother, a nurse voiced by America Ferrera.Deadline 交代了设定：这只猫供职于“想象力与灵感学院”，向上司 Mr. Hoogeboom 汇报，这个角色由 Giancarlo Esposito 配音；他被派去让 Gabby 与 Sebastian 振作起来，这两个孩子刚和母亲搬进新公寓，母亲由 America Ferrera 配音，是一名护士。
A strict landlady, voiced by Paula Pell, has told the children that no pets of any kind are allowed, which is why the goldfish Waffles, voiced by Matt Berry, has to be kept out of sight. Variety describes the same setup and adds that Gabby sprays the Cat with Mace when he appears, and that Waffles's irritation at the Cat is one of the few things the film preserves from the book. Both reviews mention the sealed moving boxes that become portals.由 Paula Pell 配音的严厉房东事先告诫孩子，任何宠物都不许养，因此由 Matt Berry 配音的金鱼 Waffles 只能藏着。Variety 描述了同样的设定，并补充：猫出现时，Gabby 朝他喷了防身喷雾；Waffles 对猫的恼火，是影片少数直接从原书保留下来的东西。两家影评都提到那三个封好的搬家纸箱会变成通往别处的入口。
Deadline: worth the waitDeadline：值得等
Pete Hammond's Deadline review is a recommendation. He writes that the film arrives with the smart, funny and heartfelt treatment the book has always deserved, that Hader captures the spirit of the character for a new generation, and that Matt Berry's Waffles and Paula Pell's landlady are played exactly right. He also praises the shifting visual styles as a welcome change from the CGI house look. His verdict is unambiguous: "This one is a genuine treat for everyone in the family."Pete Hammond 在 Deadline 的影评是推荐。他写道，影片终于给了这本书应得的聪明、好笑与真诚的待遇；Hader 为新一代观众抓住了这个角色的神采；Matt Berry 的 Waffles 与 Paula Pell 的房东也都恰到好处。他还称赞影片不断变化的视觉风格，认为这是对当下常见电脑动画外观的一次清新改动。他的结论毫不含糊：“This one is a genuine treat for everyone in the family.”
Hammond also names the problem the film had to solve. The book is short and housebound, and the directors supply a backstory for a cat that readers had only imagined. He calls the hiring of Rivinoja, a South Park veteran with an Oscar nomination for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, inspired, and says the result carries a hip factor and cultural observations that adults will appreciate more than their children. He also warns: "Don't leave during the end credits or you will miss a great bit replaying the entire movie in mere seconds."Hammond 也点出影片必须解决的问题：原书篇幅很短，场景几乎不出家门，而两位导演为这只读者只能靠自己想象的猫补上了来历。他说请来 Rivinoja 是妙招——她在《South Park》写了多年并拿过艾美奖，也因参与2020年的《Borat Subsequent Moviefilm》获得奥斯卡提名——并认为影片带着一种时髦感与文化观察，成年人会比孩子更受用。他也不忘提醒：“Don't leave during the end credits or you will miss a great bit replaying the entire movie in mere seconds.”
Variety: a Marvel movie for totsVariety：一部给幼儿看的漫威电影
Owen Gleiberman's Variety review is not a recommendation. He argues that the film abandons the innocent wildness of the Seuss books while copying the scale, spirit and plot setups of too many blockbusters, and that the result is junior Marvel surrealism fused with a Pixar mash-up. Of Hader he writes: "You can feel the film working too hard to turn him into an ingratiating mascot."Owen Gleiberman 在 Variety 的影评不是推荐。他认为影片一边丢掉苏斯博士原书里那种天真的野性，一边认真模仿太多大片的规模、气质与情节结构，结果是幼儿版漫威超现实，再混上一锅皮克斯。关于 Hader，他写道：“You can feel the film working too hard to turn him into an ingratiating mascot.”
His complaint is specific. He notes that Gabby is sad and lonely in the exact mode of Riley in Inside Out, that the family's three sealed boxes each become a portal to another world, and that the Things arrive as merchandise-ready plush toys rather than jokes. He scores the film about 70 on its own invented Mess-o-Meter and ends on a line he means unkindly: "It's a kids' fantasy that's talking through its hat."他的不满很具体：Gabby 的孤单与失落，完全照着《Inside Out》里 Riley 的路子写；三个封好的纸箱各自变成通往另一个世界的门；Thing One 与 Thing Three 登场时更像注定要卖毛绒玩具的角色，而不是笑点。他按片里自创的“Mess-o-Meter”给影片打了70分，最后一句并不客气：“It's a kids' fantasy that's talking through its hat.”
The 2003 version and the voice Hader chose2003年的版本，与 Hader 选择的声线
Both reviews measure the new film against the 2003 live-action version with Mike Myers. Deadline calls that one a critical and box office flop that collected 10 Razzie nominations, and reports that the Seuss estate, which had refused it, is on board with this one. Variety describes Myers's Cat as a noisy, antic hairball with a New York snarl, and says he looked like a marshmallow with teeth.两家影评都拿2003年 Mike Myers 主演的真人版做对照。Deadline 称那一版在评论与票房上双双失败，拿下10项金酸莓提名，并报道当初拒绝它的苏斯博士基金会这次站到了新片一边。Variety 把 Myers 的猫形容成一只吵闹、抽风的毛球，带着纽约腔，造型像一颗带牙的棉花糖。
Variety spends its opening on the voice Hader did not use, comparing the question with the months Daniel Day-Lewis spent building Abraham Lincoln's. Hader plays the Cat as friendly rather than spiky, and the review treats that as a missed chance. Deadline treats the same performance as the film's centre and calls the rest of the cast, including Quinta Brunson as a human resources confidante and Bowen Yang as an intern, perfectly pitched.Variety 用开头几段讨论 Hader 没有采用的那种声线，并拿 Daniel Day-Lewis 花几个月打磨林肯口音作比。Hader 把猫演成友善而非带刺，这篇影评把这当成一种遗憾。Deadline 则把同一段表演放在影片中心，并称其余配音全都恰到好处，包括 Quinta Brunson 的人事部知己与 Bowen Yang 的实习生。
Both critics note the departures两位影评人都注意到的改动
The two reviews agree on the film's shape. Both note the three sealed boxes that turn into portals, the frenetic finale and the arrival of the film as the first Warner Bros. Pictures Animation feature under Bill Damaschke. Variety also notes a meta joke about the Things having a franchise of their own and reads it as a merchandising calculation. Deadline ends on the songs, including the title track and Hilary Duff's CATastrophe, and on a gag buried in the end credits; Variety ends on the Mess-o-Meter.两篇影评在影片结构上看法一致：都提到三个变成入口的封箱、结尾的喧闹失控，也都提到这是 Bill Damaschke 治下华纳兄弟影业动画部的第一部长片。Variety 还提到片中拿 Thing 们“已经有了自己的系列”开玩笑，并把这读成一次周边商品的盘算。Deadline 结尾写的是片中的歌曲，包括主题曲与 Hilary Duff 的《CATastrophe》，以及藏在片尾字幕里的一个玩笑；Variety 结尾写的是那台“Mess-o-Meter”。
Neither review reports a box office figure, a CinemaScore or an audience number, and neither says what the film cost. What is confirmed before release is the date, the rating, the cast both outlets list and two opposing verdicts from critics who sat through the same 103 or 107 minutes. Related coverage on this site includes the Artemis Fowl animated series, Banana Ball and the BFI London Film Festival winners.两篇影评都没有给出票房数字、CinemaScore 或观众数据，也没有写影片成本。上映前可以确认的是档期、分级、两家共同列出的演员表，以及两位看完同样103或107分钟的影评人给出的相反结论。本站相关阅读包括《Artemis Fowl》动画剧集、《Banana Ball》与BFI 伦敦电影节获奖名单。
