Der Kater mit Hut

I was given season 3 of this show on DVD - naturally I had to watch it even though this is a kids learning show. I have to say it's a good teaching show, a bit comical at times and really entertaining musical show!

If I had small children I would want them to watch this show to help teach them several things. The show isn't ABC's, 123's - it's "how does a boat float?", "what makes a ball bounce", "how shadows are created" - that type of learning.

The animation is spot on Dr. Seuss. Martin Short does a good job as The Cat in the Hat.

Highly recommended for small children - parents may enjoy watching it with their kids.

9/10.

Pay no attention to the other reviews, they clearly didn't really watch the show. My 5 and 3 year old love this show and after every episode we've ask the kids what they learned and every time the kids learned (at least) one thing from every story.

It's fun, bright and educational.

Season 3 really leans into the wackiness that was Dr Seuss, but still maintains its educational achievements.

The fact that the Cat is voiced by fellow Canadian is an added bonus.

The hour long Halloween and Christmas specials are good as well. Fun and still educational.

Can't recommend this enough to families with young kids.

Surprised this show made its debut on PBS as it doesn't meet their usual learning standards. Martin Short as The Cat is fantastic, of course, but none of the information they provide about animals is detailed enough to challenge youngsters.

The animation was a surprise in that they kept to the original style (this is based off a series of non-fiction books that also parody Dr. Seuss' style), but it seems forced and the shading on some characters seems awkward as they move around. A revamp in how the characters look would have been a welcome addition to a show that really seems a bit short-sighted overall...

With other shows like "Dinosaur Train," "Sid the Science Kid" and "Curious George" in the current PBS lineup, this show seems downright simplistic. Not to mention the confusion of mixing fake words with real science terms: a reason LeSeig never wrote non-fiction.

It's too bad, too. Could've been a great show!

I've always watched PBA television shows with my kids. They are 9 and 12 and we've been watching these shows since they were born. This is an excellent way for me to spend time with them, reminisce on when I read The Cat in the Hat, and now - able to share the new adventures with them as well. It's an excellent show! The rhymes are great! The stories show huge imagination. All of us who remember the book series also remember that the imagination was always the large part of the series. Now, coming to life on television, is even better. The experiences the kids and Cat in the Hat go through are funny and exciting! My kids enjoy the show. I enjoy the show!

It was alright, I enjoyed the words that were used in this film, The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!

But it could never top its predecessor The Cat in the Hat (2003)

I ask of you to watch THAT instead, for that film is the greatest film ever created

thanks
