The Cat In The Hat

On a rainy day with nothing to do, two kids have to watch over the house when their mother leaves to run some errands. Not long after she leaves, a cat appears and winds up turning the home upside-down and inside-out and then back to normal right before their mother walks in the door.

This was the first Dr. Seuss special to be produced by DePatie-Freleng. The production originally began at Chuck Jones' MGM Animation studio, but was moved to DePatie-Freleng later.

In Dr. Seuss's original 61-page book, the girl's name, Sally, is mentioned. However, the boy is unnamed.
