WMG / The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!

Go To

The parents know that their kids are telling the truth and actually going with The Cat in the Hat and they don't mind.
  • After all, they always come back home safely, the Cat makes sure that they buckle up, and they learn some neat stuff.
  • For what it's worth, the 1970s animated special ended with the kids' mother telling them that she met the Cat in the Hat on his way out.
    • And he was carrying a moss-covered three-handled family gradunza, to boot.
  • It's also worth noting that as soon as they get permission in this series, they immediately and with no loss of volume yell to the Cat "We can go! We can go!" and he ecstatically bellows back "I know, I know!!" Neither of the moms is deaf, so they're either in on it, in deep denial, or we're supposed to assume some sort of only-the-children-can-hear-him situation... which doesn't really explain why their parents are also apparently ignoring the literal brass band parade that is the Thingamajigger taking off.

The Thingamajigger was developed in the same factory (Or by the same person) where The Magic School Bus was created

Both have weird elaborate buttons that can do literally anything, both can shrink, can turn into a submarine, etc...

None of it is real.
The "Cat in the Hat" is actually the nickname of the neighborhood drug dealer. The Thingamajigger is just his car, Thing 1 and Thing 2 are his lackeys, Sally and Nick are addicted to drugs and hallucinate EVERYTHING, Fish is an undercover cop, and the "neat stuff" they learn is actually government conspiracy theories that their drug-addled minds misconstrue as actual lessons.

Sally's brother Conrad became her cousin instead and lives with a different family.
