Unless You Are My Father's Age, I Doubt You've Ever Heard Of This Movie Written By Dr. Seuss. Yeah, It's Weird

Here's the thing about Dr. Seuss (which is pronounced “Zoice,” but some of y'all aren’t ready to have that conversation yet): since so many of us grew up having his books read to us, we don't often think about how OLD some of these stories are.

The Cat in the Hat, which is getting a reboot (even though I'm actually a fan of the absolutely unhinged one starring Mike Myers) was first published in 1957. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (can you believe the Jim Carrey adaptation came out 25 years ago?!) also came out in ‘57, and both of them are incredibly well known.
