The Cat in the Hat's Umbrella

Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat movie was released in theaters in Nov. 2003. The film was a box-office disappointment, critics and audiences alike were not happy with the humor, screenplay, performances and unfaithfulness to the 1957 Dr. SUESS book.

Watching the cupcake scene in the YouTube film clip that I shared above makes me glad I never wasted my time watching the movie! I don't think it was intended for my generation, but I also don't think it was necessarily intended for children!

In the kitchen scene, The Cat, played by Mike Meyers, is in the kitchen baking cupcakes using the KupKake-inator which is presented as an "amazing" kitchen device that can make cupcakes out of anything—whether it's edible or not.
The "recipe" involves placing ridiculous items into the machine, such as:
A fire extinguisher
Ketchup
A pack of hot dogs
and putting the entire machine into the oven to bake.

When the oven explodes, the Cat produces an umbrella to shield himself from the purple gooey mess.

When props from the movie were being sold my grandson purchased the movie umbrella and intends to have it framed along with the certificate of authentication. Since he has his own income neither his mother or I felt we should ask what he paid for it!

Have you seen the movie?

You mentioned a very old picture where laughter, happiness and disappointment are mixed. I still love looking at old pictures. In them, there is sweetness, education and joy filled with laughter and happiness.

We had watched this movie before and it makes my children curious about how the cat cooked. MY daughter loves cat that why she like watching this movie.

The idea of buying the umbrella made me laugh!

If the clip was a true testimony of the rest of the film, I'm glad I didn't see it either.

Kids value the strangest things! I think you have to be a big Mike Meyers fan to enjoy that movie.

I can see why the movie didn’t win over critics, but it’s so fun that your grandson turned the umbrella into a collectible.😀

That is really cool! That certification from Universal makes all the difference in the world value wise. It was a shame the movie didn't do better, but it was kind of the end of Mike Meyers hot streak of successful movies. Authentic Hollywood memorabilia is always "ultra" cool in my eyes!

This is sometime I call good risk management and futuristic investment.

Somebody from nowhere can review that film and re-act it with copyright permission in the future and boom the umbrella 🌂 will become a great asset for sale.

I dig your grandson style.

That was what happened to Ultima token when I soled mine out of ignorance.

Today my friends are making fortune out of it and am here biting my finger .

Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
