The first trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of The Cat In The Hat, from Warner Bros. Animation, has been released this morning.

Not looking to change the story up too much, it looks like we’ll see a bit more about where Cat comes from, but he will end up at the home of Gabby and Sebastian, where he’ll be looking to add cheer to their lives since they’re struggling after recently moving towns.

Check out the trailer for The Cat In The Hat below.

Starring Bill Hader as the titular Cat in a Hat, the film also features the voices of Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry, Quinta Brunson, Paula Pell, Tiago Martinez, Giancarlo Esposito, America Ferrera, Bowen Yang, and Tituss Burgess. And the film is being directed by Alessandro Carloni, in his follow-up project to Kung Fu Panda 3 and Erica Rivinoja, for whom this will be their first time in the director’s chair. The pair is also behind the script for the film, which, of course, is based on the popular children’s books by Dr. Seuss.

The Cat In The Hat is set to release on February 26, 2026. An Australian release date hasn’t been confirmed yet.
