DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT (TV)
Summary
A special presentation of the Dr. Seuss children's book "The Cat in the Hat." In this musical tale, two children are left alone at home by their mother on a rainy day. The boy and girl are all set to have a boring day, when a cat in a hat shows up at their door. Against the wishes of the children's goldfish, Karlos K. Krinklebein, who acts as the children's guardian, the cat and his two strange friends, Thing 1 and Thing 2, help the children to have an entertaining day as they wreak havoc throughout the house. The peculiar cat enlists the children to help him search for his family gradunza in a unique fashion, sings Krinklebein a tranquilizing lullabye, teaches the youngsters and the goldfish to say "cat in a hat" in various languages, and even cleans up the house before the children's mother comes home. Songs include: "Nuthin', Nuthin'," "Calculatus Eliminatus," "I'm a Punk," and "A Cat in a Hat." Commercials deleted.
