	Flak Magazine: Review of The Cat in the Hat, 12.01.03
		This is not to say that Geisel was a bigot moonlighting as a children's author, but as Richard Minear's "Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodore Seuss Geisel," has shown, there's a lot more to Geisel than funny stories about Whos, turtle kingdoms and cats with big hats.
		This, and many of Geisel's children's stories, are political parables, so despite the protests of the Seuss-as-phonician crowd, there shouldn't be any problem with "adding meaning" to "The Cat in the Hat," as long as the recontextualization is respectful and appropriate to this generation of children.
		Geisel's "The Cat in the Hat" works because, despite the absurdity of his images, he has a clear idea of what they're supposed to mean.

		"Theodore Geisel is not as well known as an illustrator and a layout artist as he is for his stories, but those skills were the basis for how we approached this film," says Corenblith.
