Not gonna lie, I used to watch this movie as a kid so much that I had the whole script memorized

Jim Carrey Grinch: Chaotic Neutral Mike Myers Cat: Chaotic -evil-

Cat in the Hat is PG Deadpool convince me otherwise

Now all we need is a live action lorax with danny davito

Well it had the "honey it was ruined when she bought it" scene so that alone makes it the best movie ever to be made and if anyone thinks it's bad I don't give a super hydroelectric instantaneous transporter

This film has aged like fine wine. _It somehow predicted the crude, ironic, and sometimes surreal humor that GenX and millennials would embrace wholeheartedly_ In layman's terms: this movie is a proto meme

THANK YOU. Everyone treats me like a crazy person when I say I liked this movie as a kid and still do.

This is more of a minor thing than something that concerns the entire movie as a whole, but I really like how the Mom character is implied to be sort of a combination of both Sally and Conrad's traits. In the scene where the Things are trying to slow her down by pretending to be police officers, near the beginning of the scene you can hear her groaning "oh no", like she's been in a similar situation. Which therefore implies that, even though she appears to be more like a Sally/"Control Freak", maybe in the past she was more of a renegade. There was also the deleted scene where she's seen playing Conrad's video game system, which kind of implies the same thing but in a more obvious way. Which, to be honest, is probably why it was cut.

I knew critics didn't like this film, but I had no idea it was so passionately despised. That movie was awesome for their target audience, and one of my favourites as a kid. I have no idea why people so adamantly hated it.

"The Cat in The Hat 2003 was a pretty good film" back at it again w the god tier opinions

I actually think the Grinch shares the same surrealism and craziness that this movie does. Like Jim Carey's Grinch is absolutely insane, and everything in Whoville seems like a brand-new thing that would never exist in our world. I think the difference between the two is that the Grinch's story is a lot more structured than the Cat in the Hat. Which I think makes The Grinch better because it embraces Seuss's style, while having a story that actually makes sense and is satisfying.

I absolutely love this movie. As a child I loved it because it was so odd and I understood the "ho" joke, and now I love it because of the aesthetic, the other jokes, the parent child conflict, MIKE MYERS, and really, just everything.

I knew I wasn't the only one! *Me, my siblings and people I know personally really enjoy this movie and I feel like many people do so as well, they just don't want to say it.* Judging by the comments on similar videos, topics and the like to dislike ratio. Not everything has to be dark and gritty and not every adaptation has to copy the source material page by page. It's called adaptation for a reason.

I knew my thumbnail would come in handy one day.

When gen-z finally grows up and HAS to do a remake or something, I hope they do a R rated remake of The Cat in the Hat so that the cat can FINALLY murder someone, as he was always intended to do.

finally the movie that was a huge staple of my childhood because i practically grew up on the set of the film cause my mom worked as a makeup artist on it is validated and i can finally die

God, you never cease to impress

One fish, two fish, red fish, breadfish

To be honest I never really felt all that attached to the Dr Seuss books. I'd maybe had them read to me before I was old enough to actually remember, but Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham were the only two that stuck in my memory. I guess it was because of that that I enjoyed the movie entirely as it's own thing, as well as the fact that I was still a kid when it came out, so I didn't even notice that critics hated it. I just thought it was a weird, fun movie that I would happily watch multiple times.

The Cat in the Hat is a masterpiece and no one can change my mind.

14:26 "Mr. Seuss" excuse you he worked hard for that degree.

I had no idea why I loved this movie as much as I did as a child, but I just kept rewatching it. I was well above the age of mindlessly rewatching the same thing over and over, but this movie had something in it I just loved. Haven't rewatched it in 14 years, though, so it is long overdue. Thanks for this video.

I kind of like the live action suess adaptations. As guilty pleasures, but I don't know why people hate these films so much. For me it's perfect guilty pleasure material, and while I did read Dr. Suess as a kid, I don't think they're untouchable masterpieces like people make them out to be.

As a child I love this film along with the Grinch and I never really understood why people disliked them beyond the uncanny valley-ness of the character designs.

This is a really good idea for a series. There's always so much negativity floating around mediocre movies or games on KZfaq, so it's good to finally see a KZfaqr focus on the good for once

Damn. For years I thought I was the only thing that wholeheartedly admired this film from a deeper standpoint. The fact is this film is severely misunderstood and should be rewatched with the following points this video makes and i GUARANTEE if Dr. Suess was still alive he would’ve probably most likely have disagreed with the backlash this film had. I sure do, you should too and this video proves it.

i grew up with this movie loving it and became one of my all time favourite ones to quote with my sister. then as i got older and access to internet happenned i realised that everyone hated it! and i could never understand why! i mean yeah ok it has its flaws, sure but all this hate? why? as a child i laughed a lot and also as an adult, who (i don't care if this sounds pretentious) does have an opinion on good films and commercial b*^$*@it, i still enjoyed and laughed.. thanks a lot for breaking it down, i couldn't agree more! just discovered your channel and love it

i've always unironically loved this film. glad another person is standing up for it.

Thank you so, so much for making this. I've needed an explanation for why this movie is good (aside from the obvious dirty jokes and surrealist themes). You went beyond the meme and didn't give too much credit to this movie, while also avoiding the trap of disregarding it and scoffing at it because it's so quirky. Your videos are some of the most well thought-out and well-orchestrated on this platform; I can safely put this video, along with the Treasure Planet analysis up on some of my all-time favorite videos. (don't get me wrong, your other videos are great as well. I just personally love these two)

Here's a challenge: argue why the emoji movie was good

Wow...this is...deep...philosophical even. As a kid, I considered this movie a guilty pleasure. And for the most part, I still do. But you ingeniously changed the perspective that the film can be viewed in. What was considered a filthy movie that went far below expectations can now be appreciated as a work of art for subverting them. I'd love to see more videos in a similar format. This was interesting to say the least. Excellent video.

My nana and grandpa used to have a truck with one of those back seat DVD players, but they only had two kids DVDs, Holes and Cat and the Hat. I really didn’t like Holes as a kid so I watched this movie SO MANY TIMES while on road trips with them. It’s very nostalgic for me

This is bizarre. I've never seen such a highly positive opinion of this movie that was so reinforced. I thought this movie was kind of funny as a kid, but it's unpleasant to think about now. While I don't entirely agree with your opinion, I highly respect it. Keep it up!

"Adaptations owes nothing to their source material if the director has vision" is a quote that I really love.

Well then, consider this an internet first. You made a compelling argument and have definitely changed my mind about this and how I view films. I also really appreciate the art history look, that I can't believe I missed out on. Well done guy.

This movie introduced me to the great cinematic line: ‘dog pissed on my taco’

why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

Subscribed from your treasure planet video. Excited to watch more

I still love this movie, and I’m an adult. I now caught all the dirty jokes and I loved them. The Cat really is entertaining for any age and gives the viewers to be entertained without having to be faithful to the boom, rather it’s faithful to the feel of the book, and the protagonists to work out the problem on their own and come together as family and siblings. I have a younger brother and I’ve thought about how am I related to him when he and I are polar opposites while being the same at the same time. We have chaos in our lives and we should embrace the crazy things in life and take risks to better ours and others future. Nowadays, movies are playing it too safe and not taking risks or taking too much risks and not playing it safe enough. The cat in the hat is that middle ground, crazy, yet stable for adults and kids to enjoy. They don’t hide any of the jokes and they use wordplay to emphasize a dirty joke.

I watched this movie while trashed and it was actually incredibly entertaining. The humor is significantly well-timed, Mike Meyers is unforgivably hilarious, and the moral isn't ambiguous like other Seuss film adaptations.

The quality of your videos is insane, absolutely loved this video.

Not many KZfaqrs focus on the good of "bad" things, instead focusing on mocking and poking fun at things that should instead be appreciated, and even fewer do it in a way that help us learn and maybe even change/improve our opinions. You do this in a seamless fashion and have the voice of an angel, so keep up the good work man

I've always loved this movie. Thanks for defending it!

The movie aged like fine wine. It's played on repeat in my house even now. I thought I was the only one that appreciated it

*God has returned*

You make the best video essays on KZfaq. Please never give up on this.

"I'll get you,. and it'll look like a bloody accident."

"Adaptations owe nothing to their source material" Cue Starship Troopers theme

i learned more about surrealism from this video than I did in art class. Thanks

you've failed the task of making me appreciate it more, but by golly if there ever was a person who's even close to changing my opinions on things, not merely revealing an aspect ive yet to notice but to explain and deliver a perspective that i really never would have considered without it that is you. and i love that. you're unique mr bread. and seemingly as sporratic in your content as this movie, and you did present the value of chaos so well here, glad i ran into your works friend.

I love how everyone’s like Dr. Seuss would’ve hated these film adaptations. HOW TF WOUOD YOU KNOW, he’s dead

If this movie came out today, it would’ve been heavily loved at the start. Very meme-able

You should do a video about the Stuart Little films. The movies got critically panned even though they were perfect for the audience it was aiming for. I think the two movies deserve a spotlight; they have been somewhat forgotten over the years...

,,More comedy noises than Louis CK being stabbed to death" I love you so much daddy Boy do i love you

That movie scared the hell out of me when I watched it. That and the live action Grinch movie...

I am in complete and utter awe of what I just witnessed. This is one of the most well crafted movie analyses I've ever seen. You damn near convinced me that Cat In The Hat is a good film and is faithful to the material it hails from. I love this movie for a multitude of reasons - most being the reasons you'd associate with a movie like the Room or Birdemic; it's ironically good. Thanks so much for this video, it was truly brilliant and you've earned a sub out of me ;)

did you just call nevins a dog?? the proper term is "canine-american", excuse you

It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Watched it when I was wee and I just can't hate it because of that.

i always knew gen z would grow up to defend this movie, the biggest reason why this movie works for you when you were a kid is precisly that, you were a kid. i think this movie is fun enough... but in no way can be defended becuse of its name and the source material.

Cat in the Hat was one of the best movies of my childhood. I can quote the whole thing. I love this movie, SO MUCH

two uploads in one year? impossible!

I can go on and on about how well made this video is but I'll just keep it simple: I loved it. You're really making a name for yourself. To me you're now more than just a one-hit-wonder who made a great treasure planet review. You're a channel called Breadsword that I recognise and look forward to. A tad obvious to say but you're a great example as to why the subscribe button exists. Finding a creator, enjoying the content, and looking forward to the next notified video is the amazing experience we get from KZfaq. I love your video. I love your channel. I love the effort. And I look forward to the next one

After being forced to live with this movie my entire life because of siblings, I've either seen this or heard this from another room an imaginable amount of times. This movie has haunted my dreams for years. It feels like you just gave me closure. You win Bo Welch, you win.

I'm so happy about this. I've loved this movie ever since it came out and my friend and I still watch it as much as a kid would. (More than 3 times a year and we're 21).

OMG the greatest comeback ever

This analysis is absolutely amazing and brought so much more insight to a film I watched as a child, forever told not to re-watch it by "movie buffs" and "reviewers". Great job man, I'm watching this at 6am where I am and I couldn't be happier at this.

“ Adaptations oh nothing to the source material if the director has vision” Percy Jackson movies: allow us to introduce ourselves.

I will admit, there are multiple scenes in this movie that are quite funny, but the majority of the film is boring and monotonous. I didn't care about any of the characters while watching the film and Mike Myers really dropped the ball on a lot of the jokes. from my perspective it sounds like many of your arguments come from a place of nostalgia. there's nothing wrong with that. what you like is what you like, I just disagree. (Edit: after rewatching the video, perhaps describing your opinions as purely nostalgic was a bit dismissive. you do make some very valid points. though you have not changed my opinion, you have changed my ideas of this film.)

It's a rather rare thing these days, to find someone on KZfaq who does not only have a sophisticated taste in something more than the hottest game of the month, or how epic their prank was, but who also knows their way around explaining what they think and go the length to create something with it. I think that a lot of the fans you've already accumulated over the past 4 videos and few months are probably a little jealous of you (myself included), not because you're so smart and handsome but because you have an opinion , something to say about it and the courage and will to put in the effort to go out and say it. And on top of of that, with visible expertise and well-researched facts. Although I may not agree with everything you say or will say in the future, I have nothing but respect for you and will gladly recommend you to literally all my friends, right now. Best of luck to you buddy. I hope this ride is gonna be a long and succesful one, cause I'm glad to be part of it already.

The opening speech sounds like something I would blindly rally behind as a sheeple. You have my vote for whatever office you're running for.

This movie is a classic and I always laugh whenever I watch it and damn it's even better when your high

I remember seeing this. Didn't realise it was so hated, like I can't say I loved it but it was fine. When I think of the worst movies ever this doesn't even come to mind. The lorax was a lot worse than this.

The only other review Ive seen of this was Nostaglia Critic, but his approach was completely surface-level juvenile Shtick. Devoid of anything meaningful (til the very end at least) in comparison to this, which was a well analysed feast :) An excellent defense to film often rated a 2. I'm still really glad that I'm subscribed to you :)

I didn't mind this film when I was little, and I actually watched it multiple times as a kid, even if the innuendoes are constant, and the Cat doesn't talk in rhyme all the time. Even when I'm older, I don't think it deserves all the hate it gets. Don't think of it as an adaptation, it's more like a parody of the original book.

The movie is even better and funnier in Spanish, man. Like, another level of funny

I love hearing you say sincerely enthusiastic things about underrated movies

Hey dude, a couple of things. First off, I want to appreciate all the videos you made. Your Treasure Island video was the start of my interest into movies as a form of art in media and expression. I never really watch that many movies but ever since your Treasure Island video, it just spiraled out of control into other Disney Movies and so on. The fact that I managed to watch your Treasure Island video at least 3 times honestly shows how great and captivating your videos are. You make amazing videos and just thank you for peaking my interest in movies. From the how you go over the history, making and impact of each movie, your videos have so much charm (almost as much as your voice) to them. Second, I knew you had something coming up but I never expected this. I always adored this movie as a kid. However, despite growing up, I am still entertained by this movie but I always found something special about it that wasn't represented by its crude type of comedy. This video just kinda pieced it all together to me on why I love this movie so much. I know it isn't an accurate adaptation but it doesn't meant that it should be held to such as an indication of its worth. Anyways, keep doing what you are doing. I love your videos and thank you for just kinda sparking a passion in me I guess. Your videos led me to have a strong appreciation for Treasure Island and disdained for others like Hercules.

my friend and I can quote this entire film by memory. It is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life.

I agree, but I think The Grinch strays a little bit from “safe” as you said. Carrey’s performance was abstract as hell, and the world they made was noticeably blurry and kind of ugly. Not saying it was as well constructed and surrealist as the cat and the hat, but I don’t think it’s in the same category as the other Seuss remakes.

I have nothing but respect for anyone who can make me eager to rewatch a film I had previously dismissed. Thumbs Up :)

Big ups to the pacing of this video, slowly weaving the subject of the video into a meaningful take of art criticism (and subsequently leaving the viewer with something to critically think about) is raw as Heck homie. Worth the wait

The lofi music in the background and the overall structure of this video was just so amazing. It brought me back to my childhood and filled me with a very happy feeling... Thank you for this.

I watched this movie like 40 times when I was a kid and never got tired of it xD

The more I watch this movie the better it gets

I don't know if you read your comments, you must take a lot of time producing these videos so I wouldn't blame you if you don't. But this video was amazing, All your work is fantastic dude, for real. You put a lot of effort and it shows. I'm going to recommend your channel to everyone I know dude. This is too good!

HELL YEAH I FUCKIN LOVE THIS MOVIE

As a child this was literally my favorite and never stopped being funny as I got older

Even if I don't agree with you, I'll be damned if I ain't happy to hear your arguments. Thanks again for sharing so much information and in such a great quality. Keep up the good fight!

The surrealism is exactly right - and one of the reasons critics hated CitH. As we stumble into an oppressive, fascism (ie corporate owned and operated government) we need the blatant absurdity tossed in our faces. And you seem to get it. Also, in the end you certainly appreciate the middling strength of the film. Good video. Great presentation. Hope you get a chance to do more releases more quickly. Then again, you probably have a real job, real life, and real struggles. Thanks again.

this was so kind. especially at the end when you thanked Bo. “thanks for trying, Bo. it was...pretty good.”❤️

I genuinely love this movie so much. The writing is so funny and the acting is spot on. I used to rewatch this movie all the time growing up. The bloopers are my favorite! Lol

I feel like the Broker from Guardians of the Galaxy, when he said, "I can't tell if you'e joking or not."

Everything is clean because its a Tide ad

6:33 Samurai Jack fans: Do you remember the episode, where Jack ends up in a rave party? He's wearing the Cats hat. So who came up first with the idea to rave in the Cats hat? Wonder if there is any connection between this movie and the Samurai Jack series :D

Say, that is an extremely convincing argument. I have not given this film a watch in years, so definately need to give it another look soon!

as someone who works in art department, i drool over this film and the visual assets and properties of it. it really is everything you said from wardrobe to set to props. it's and incredibly world that truly does function to an extent. but the sterility of it is what really sucks the life out of the film for me. in addition, neither protagonist or supporting characters (mom and fish) show any level of character arch from the start to end of the film. they're completely reactionary without any sense of agency. there is no learning curve for them to make it through because they do not learn or grow throughout the film. The film is interesting but far from what you spend 15 minutes trying to sell us on. in the end though I think it is insulting to the film itself as well as the source material to repeatedly call this an adaption. This plays more like a re-imagining more than anything else and that's not a bad thing. just that word alone helps understand that this is not the story or the characters we are expecting from the title but a whole new take on them which the film is. in its own way it does this brilliantly though execution was heavily lacking from the entire cast. over all, i'd stick by you on giving it a 5.5 for that very reason alone. as a re-imagining, it creates new rules and convention for the story to happen in except that there really isnt a story that is trying to be told here. disagreements aside, I love your work and am glad i watched the whole video. thank you for the hard work and care you put into it and your other content.

I always loved this movie as a kid, never got the hate, it was really funny and didn't insult my intelligence.

you really not gonna list the music in-between the intro and outro.... i need it.

I just have to say: the editing is absolutely amazing
