Movie Series - Dr. Seuss movies (live-action)
Live action movies based on the books by Dr. Seuss. The first was How the Grinch stole Christmas, directed by Ron Howard and starring Jim Carrey as the Grinch. It was released in 2000. The next was The Cat in the Hat, directed by Bo Welch and starring Mike Myers as The Cat. It was released in 2003. Due to the poor reviews of the Cat in the Hat (as well as the mature content), Audrey Geisel will no longer allow any more live-action movies based on her late husband's work. As a result, a planned sequel to the Cat in the Hat was shelved.

The live-action Grinch wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't as good as the animated version. The live action Cat in the Hat?
Let's just say that the only thing I really liked about the film was that it's the reason why there haven't been any more live action movies based on Dr. Suess' books. -- Submitted By: (cartooner) on October 28, 2012, 5:41 pm - (0 votes)

It's a shame two classic books had to be brutally gutted and boned until Audrey came to her senses. Before these abominations were unleashed, if someone said they're going to watch the Grinch or the Cat in the Hat, you automatically knew what they meant: the cartoon masterpieces. Not anymore. Plus, it gets worse. Whenever the Grinch is promoted (like "Grinchmas" at Universal Studios), it's almost always based on the horrid movie, rather than the Chuck Jones special. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on March 2, 2012, 1:18 pm - (1 votes)
