Production [edit]

Evolution [edit]

DreamWorks Pictures acquired the film rights to the original Dr. Seuss book in 1997.^[vii] Withal, product did non originally offset until after the 2000 Christmas/one-act picture How the Grinch Stole Christmas, based on another Dr. Seuss book of the aforementioned name, became a commercial success. Brian Grazer, the producer of The Grinch, stated: "Considering we grew upward with these books, and considering they have such universal themes and the illustrations ignite such fantasy in your heed as a child—the aggregation of all those feelings—it leaves an indelible, positive memory. And so when I realized I had a chance to convert first The Grinch and and then, The Cat in the Lid, into movies, I was willing to do anything to bring them to the screen."^[eight] Grazer then contacted Bo Welch over the phone with the offer to direct the film, and he accepted.^[9] When production began, songs written by Randy Newman were dropped because they were deemed junior; Newman's cousin, David, instead composed the score for the motion-picture show. Although Welch and a publicist for Myers denied it, several people said Myers had considerable input into the picture'due south direction by telling some of the cast (co-stars Baldwin and Preston) how to perform their scenes.^[10]

Casting [edit]

Tim Allen was originally considered for the function of the Cat. The script was initially based on a version of the original book'southward story conceived by Allen, who admitted that equally a child he was afraid of Seuss' "mischievous feline bodyguard"; "My dream is to give it the edge that scared me," stated Allen.^[11] However, the studio did non commission a screenplay until late February 2001, when Alec Berg, David Mandel and Jeff Schaffer (best known for beingness writers on the television series Seinfeld) were hired by the studio to script the film (replacing the original draft of the film that was written a few years prior past Eric Roth),^[12] so the film would not exist prepare to shoot before the borderline. By this point, Allen was also committed to shooting Disney's The Santa Clause 2, which was also delayed considering Allen wanted a script rewrite.^[xiii] Due to scheduling conflicts with that movie,^[fourteen] he dropped out of the role.^[15] As a result, in March 2002 the part of the Cat was given to Mike Myers,^[16] whom Grazer had an argument with regarding a proposed film accommodation of Myers' Saturday Night Live sketch Sprockets, which Myers cancelled in June 2000 later on being dissatisfied with his ain script for information technology.^[17] Myers stated in an interview that he was a long-time fan of the original Dr. Seuss book, and that it was the first volume he e'er read.^[18]

Makeup and visual furnishings [edit]

Originally, Rick Baker was set to be the prosthetic makeup designer for the motion-picture show after his previous experience with How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but due to conflicts with the studio and production team, particularly with Myers' behavior (showing up late to meetings, refusing to come to makeup tests) and the complex challenge of designing the graphic symbol's makeup, he left the projection and was replaced past Steve Johnson, 1 of his primeval apprentices. The Cat costume was made of angora and human hair and was fitted with a cooling system. To keep Myers cool during the outdoor shoots, a portable air conditioner was available that connected a hose to the accommodate between shots, while the tail and ears were battery-operated.^{[xix] [ improve source needed ]} Danielle Chuchran and Brittany Oaks, who portrayed Affair i and Affair 2, respectively, wore a prosthetic face up mask and wig designed by Johnson likewise. The Fish was considered somewhat of a unique character for Rhythm and Hues Studios (responsible for the visual effects and animation in films such as Cats & Dogs, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Scooby-Doo), in that the grapheme had no shoulders, hips or legs, then all of the concrete performance had to emit from the eyes, caput and fin motion. Sean Hayes, who provided the voice for the Fish, constitute the office significantly different from his usual on-camera jobs; he did not know how the final animation would look, resulting in all of his vocalisation piece of work taking place alone in a sound berth.^[20]

Filming [edit]

Prior to filming, giant props for the flick were stolen from the set; the local police found the props vandalized with graffiti in a shopping mall automobile park in Pomona, California. Despite this, no arrests had been made and filming was to kickoff the side by side week.^[21] Principal photography took place mostly in California from October 2002 to January 2003. The neighborhood and the town center was filmed in a rural valley near Simi Valley, where 24 houses (each 26 feet square and 52 feet tall) were constructed.^[22] The downtown area outdoor shots were filmed forth a Pomona street where a number of antique and gift shops are located. The community decided not to redecorate later on filming ended, so the surreal paint scheme and some of the signage could still be seen today as it appears in the film. Considering of so much smog in the area, the sky had to exist digitally replaced with the cartoon-similar sky and colors of the groundwork had to exist digitally fixed.

According to co-star Amy Loma, Myers was hard to piece of work with on set, refusing to talk to anyone on the production (other than manager Welch) and isolating himself from the cast and coiffure during breaks in filming. She also noted that there would be retakes of scenes because Myers overruled Welch on whether they were good enough or non. In add-on, Hill stated that Myers had an assistant who held chocolates in a Tupperware, and whenever Myers needed a slice of chocolate, his assistant would come over and give him one.^[23]

Music [edit]

The soundtrack was released on November 18, 2003.^[24] Originally, Marc Shaiman was going to compose the score for the moving picture, but due to David Newman already being called for the picture score, Shaiman instead wrote the picture show's songs with Scott Wittman. The soundtrack likewise features a song past Smash Rima oris ("Getting Better"), which makes information technology the tertiary Mike Myers-starring moving-picture show in a row to characteristic a vocal past Blast Mouth after Shrek and Austin Powers in Goldmember. The trailer for the picture uses a version of "Hey! Pachuco!" by the Royal Crown Revue. The soundtrack also includes 2 songs performed by Myers, who plays the True cat. Newman's score won a BMI Movie Music Award.

Roger Ebert of The Chicago Dominicus-Times gave the film two out of four stars. Although he praised the product design, he considered the film to exist "all effects and stunts and CGI and prosthetics, with no room for lightness and joy".^[32] Ebert and co-host Richard Roeper gave the moving-picture show "2 Thumbs Down" on their weekly movie review program.^[33] Roeper said of Myers' functioning that "maybe a part of him was realizing as the movie was being made that a live-action version of The Cat in the Hat just wasn't a great idea."^[33] Ebert compared the film unfavorably to How the Grinch Stole Christmas: "If there is one affair I've learned from these two movies, information technology'south that we don't desire to meet Jim Carrey as a Grinch, and nosotros don't desire to see Mike Myers as a cat.

Leonard Maltin gave the picture show i-and-a-one-half stars out of four in his Movie Guide: "Brightly colored adaptation of the love rhyming volume for immature children is a expose of everything Dr. Seuss e'er stood for, injecting potty humour and adult (wink-wink) jokes into a mixture of heavy-handed slapstick and silliness."
