Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Cat in the Hat is a 2003 film adaptation to the book of the same name, with the titular character portrayed by Mike Myers. In this version, the kids Conrad (Spencer Breslin) and Sally (Dakota Fanning) are helping their mother, Joan (Kelly Preston), get ready for a party thrown for her office in hopes of impressing her boss, though Conrad is presented to be something of a trouble maker and at odds with with Joan. Not helping the familial situation is a sleazy neighbor, Larry Quinn (Alec Baldwin), who is doting on Joan and trying to convince her to send Conrad off to military school while he tries to gain an easy life.Joan soon sets off for work, leaving the kids with nothing to do until the titular Cat shows up to bring them some fun. But things quickly escalate out of hand, especially when the Cat pulls out his crate and tells Conrad never to open it. Naturally Conrad doesn't listen and things go From Bad to Worse as Larry soon gets involved and Conrad, Sally and Cat have to fix up the mess before their mother gets home.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Annoying Younger Sibling: Inverted with the kids. Conrad is the obnoxious irresponsible older sibling while Sally is the reserved controlling sibling.

Adaptation Expansion
 The Cat in the Hat / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: This is based on a 500 word picture book intended for kindergarteners, after all. For one thing, there's a dog, Mom throwing a house party, an evil neighbor (Alec Baldwin) trying to woo Mom and get the boy shipped off to miliary school, the Cat's universe (likely the world of Who) intruding on this one, etc.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "He [Thing 2] says, feel free to call him 'Thing A' if you like. He will also accept 'Super Thing', 'Thing King', 'Kid Dynamite', 'Chocolate Thun-da!'...or 'Ben'."

Accidental Misnaming

comment
Accidental Misnaming: Cat keeps getting Conrad's name wrong. Even on the contract he's noted "(AKA Gorman)", which isn't even close to his name.
