The Big Picture One of the most beloved characters from Dr. Seuss' vault is suddenly making a comeback, and Warner Bros. Animation is assembling a star-studded cast for their latest project. According to Variety, Bill Hader, Quinta Brunson, Bowen Yang, Xotchil Gomez, Matt Berry, and Paula Pell have all been cast in the new version of The Cat in the Hat. The animated movie will bring the story from the page to the big screen.
The studio knows that a story as recognizable as The Cat in the Hat can only be enhanced by casting acclaimed comedians, so naturally, Hader was selected to voice the titular role. The actor is best known for Barry, the HBO television series he starred in, produced, and created alongside Alec Berg. On the other hand, Brunson has been busy stepping into the shoes of Janine Teagues across three seasons of Abbott Elementary, the successful comedy she created.
