The writer/director will share a behind-the-scenes look in-person at Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s upcoming animated feature, which hits theaters next February; conference runs October 12-17 in Turin, Italy.
VIEW Conference has just announced that writer-director Alessandro Carloni will be presenting a behind-the-scenes look at his upcoming animated film, The Cat in the Hat, which hits theaters February 27, 2026. The film, from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, is based on the iconic Dr. Seuss book and stars Bill Hader in the titular role.
In the film, you meet the Cat in the Hat you don’t know! In the wonderfully whimsical tradition of Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat comes to the big screen in his animated theatrical feature film debut, an all-new, epic adventure with an edge, where mischief, magic and mayhem reign supreme. Doing what he does best, the Cat — voiced by Hader — spreads joy to kids in his hilarious, signature and singularly irreverent way, transporting them and audiences on a fantastical journey through a world they’ve never seen before. It is the first in a planned Warner Bros. Pictures Animation series of Dr. Seuss films, and features an innovative combination of animation styles.
“We are so excited to present this peek at the making of The Cat in the Hat at VIEW Conference 2025,” says Conference Director Dr. Maria Elena Gutierrez. “Director Alessandro Carloni has an incredible track record as a filmmaker, and his new movie promises to be something truly special.”
