Iconic Dr Seuss Story 'The Cat In The Hat' Sets Date for Official Trailer
Iconic Dr Seuss Story 'The Cat In The Hat' Sets Date for Official Trailer originally appeared on Parade. The animated film based on Dr. Seuss's iconic children's book The Cat In The Hat has been in the works for years, and now, the trailer for the film will be dropping soon. On Monday, Warner Bros. released a surprise video on X featuring Bill Hader, who stars as the mischievous feline in the upcoming movie, announcing that the film's first trailer will be released tomorrow. Hader also announced the rest of the star-studded cast in the clip, building hype for the reimagining of the beloved Dr. Seuss classic. Hader not only revealed the trailer release date, but he also announced that Tiago Martinez, Tituss Burgess and Giancarlo Esposito were joining the voice cast. It was confirmed back in March 2024 that the voice cast also included Quinta Brunson, Bowen Yang, Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry and Paula Pell. After the success of the film The Lorax in 2012, Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment announced plans to produce a CGI adaptation of The Cat in the Hat, but the project never came to fruition. Then, in January 2018, Warner Animation Group and Dr. Seuss Enterprises struck a deal to make new animated movies based on the stories of Theodor Seuss Geisel. A first look at the film was presented by Hader and Bill Damaschke, the president of Warner Bros, at CinemaCon this past April. They featured details such as the Cat's field of work and his previous failed assignments, his co-workers who are similar in fashion and the introduction of additional Thing characters besides Thing One and Thing Two. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Cat in the Hat was written and directed by Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja, with Daniela Mazzucato and Jared Stern marked as producers. In addition, Susan Brandt, president and CEO of Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Hader are credited as executive producers. DNEG Animation will be the animation studio partner. The film is based on Dr Seuss' book with the same name, which was originally published in 1957 and has since become a classic children's book. The book tells the story of a tall anthropomorphic cat who wears a red and white-striped top hat and a red bow tie, who shows up at the house of Sally and her brother one rainy day when their mother is away. Despite the objections from the children's fish, the Cat attempts to entertain the children. In the process, he and his companions, Thing One and Thing Two, destroy the house. As the children and the fish become more alarmed, the Cat produces a machine that he uses to clean everything up and disappears just before the children's mother comes home. This will mark the character's animated big-screen debut. There is already a live-action version of the story, which was released in 2003 and starred Mike Myers as the Cat. The trailer is set to release on Tuesday, July 1 and the film will be out in theaters on February 27, 2026. Iconic Dr Seuss Story 'The Cat In The Hat' Sets Date for Official Trailer first appeared on Parade on Jun 30, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

The 2025 figures mark the lowest representation for actors of color in five years, falling short of the 2022 peak when 42 of 108 nominees (39 per cent) were people of color, representing the highest percentage in Emmy history.

Supporting comedy actress category ties diversity record Liza Colón-Zayas, last year's historic winner as the first Latina to win supporting comedy actress for "The Bear," received another nomination. She joins Jessica Williams, Janelle James, and Sheryl Lee Ralph, tying the 2023 record for most women of color nominated in a single acting category.

Quinta Brunson Signals That ‘Abbott Elementary' May End Soon: ‘Our Show Is Very Time-Consuming'
Series creator and star Quinta Brunson indicated that 'Abbott Elementary' may soon come to a close, just days ahead of the cast's highly anticipated appearance on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' (airing July 9). 'Abbott Elementary' is set to begin its fifth season in the fall, and its first four outings have not only been a ratings hit for ABC but raked in scores of award nominations, a rarity for any network series in 2025. 'We are so fortunate and blessed to be on a network TV show for five seasons, and for people to still be fans,' the Emmy-winning actress and writer told Bustle. 'That being said, I have cast members who would love to pursue other projects, and our show is very time-consuming. We shoot about seven months out of the year. That can stop people from being able to do a lot of other things.' More from IndieWire 'The Morning Show' Season 4 Promises the Exact Drama You Crave 'Wednesday' Season 2 Trailer: Jenna Ortega Tries to Save Her Roommate by Returning to Nevermore The other cast members — which include Sheryl Lee Ralph, Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Williams Stanford Davis, and Chris Perfetti — aren't the only ones looking to explore other projects. Brunson said that she's 'interested in playing against type.' 'I think that's any actor's dream. Right now my type is 'Janine' and 'teacher.' I'm looking forward to moving away from that a little bit,' she said. Brunson added that she's receiving scripts right now and 'waiting for that moment that feels like, 'Oh man, this is exactly what I've been looking for.' She also said that she wanted to use the success of 'Abbott Elementary' to help 'get other people's projects off the ground.' Last month at IndieWire and Disney's FYC Pass the Remote panel series, Brunson described the amount of passion the writers work to pour into each episode, no matter how difficult it can be to deliver 22 episodes a season. 'But I cannot tell you how hard it is to not make absolute garbage,' she said. 'You start going [into Episode] 22 like 'Honestly, I could phone it in.' We've seen other shows do it. We don't want to do that. We want to continue to make good television. We want every episode to be a surprise. We want you to not [say] 'I'm going to go back to the tired episode of the tired show.' We would like to keep it compelling.'
