Legacy
Mike Myers stated in an interview (on the day the film was released) that he expected there to be a sequel, since there was a sequel to the book. It was rumored that a sequel based on The Cat in the Hat Comes Back was planned, a little more than a month before the film's release. However, Dr. Seuss's widow Audrey Geisel was unimpressed with the film, saying that Myers "was not fit to play the lanky “puddy cat” who is prone to suavely twirl his tail." As a result, she would not allow any more live-action adaptations of her husband's works, and the sequel was cancelled as a result.
On March 15, 2012, a CGI-animated remake of the film was announced, following the success of The Lorax. Development of the film has yet to begin, and there has been no announcement of its release date.
