The Cat In The Hat gets Grinches
29 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Dr. Seuss two famous characters The Cat In The Hat and The Grinch meet for the first time in this crossover tv special.

The Grinch (voiced by Mason Adams) starts his day in a good mood until his reflection gets him to repeat the Grinch's oath.

" A Grinch is unhelpful, unfriendly, unkind, with ungracious thoughts, in an unhealthy mind. A Grinch is uncheerful, uncouth, and unclean. Now say this together: I'M FRIGHTFULLY MEAN! My eyes are both shifty, my fingers are thrifty. My mouth will not smile, not half of an inch! I'm a Grinch! I am a Grinch. I'M A GRINCH! "

Then the Grinch makes his dog Max (voiced by Frank Welker) help in his plot to make the day of The Cat In The Hat (voiced by Bob Holt) as awful as possible.

The voice acting is very good as both Mason and Bob give their best to give different voices for Grinch and Cat in the Hat which helps make the characters stick out. Bob also works as the Narrator both Frank and Mason voice other characters to even out the playing field for the special.

The music matches the style of Dr. Seuss cartoons and each piece of music helps the story as it progresses. Along with original songs for the cartoon that the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat sing. With my favorite song being "Master of Everyone's Ears" as the Grinch being a threat to the Cat in the Hat my second favorite song in the special is "Did You"? The song the Cat in the Hat sings as he questions why the Grinch is the Grinch.

The animation is superb with some of the smoothest animations in any cartoon as the characters could be believable like they came out of the books along with the background look like the books. The team really took their time to bring the special to life. Especially with the efforts that went into the effects that were use in the special.

Overall for a crossover special it is a good attempt for fans of the characters it definitely is something not to be missed

I give The Grinch grinches The Cat In The Hat an 8 out of 10.
