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.

The Cat in the Hat is returning for more chaos in Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's first animated adaptation of the beloved Dr. Seuss book, starring Bill Hader and Quinta Brunson. The film is directed by Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja,
