I'm very late to this but I want to backtrack just for a second re: Cat In The Hat.
The entire thing is an insult to Seuss, and the Cat is made to look like someone who should be imprisoned immediately. And permanently. He's creepy.
Further, scenes such as the one in which he's swinging from a tree and the kids beat the be***** out of him are not only insulting and not funny, but are too influential on young children. These scenes imply that it's okay to be out of control. We have enough trouble with violence in this country and we just keep on promoting it in films and T.V. If my son were a child at this time I would not take him to see this bit of utter junk.
