Bill Hader stars in the first trailer for 'The Cat in the Hat' animated movie. The cast also includes Quinta Brunson, Bowen Yang and America Ferrera, and it's set for a February 2026 release.

I think the scene that best won me over to The Cat in the Hat’s side is the one where The Cat is about to do what he does best: ignore the rules. Pulling from the well of pure Looney Tunes insanity, we get a beautifully brief moment that mixes the innocence mentioned above with pure lunacy. It's an old gag, but it's playful and it works.
