What if Walter Lantz Productions remained opens/Universal Animation Studios/The Cat in the Hat/Transcript

Scene 1
(The film starts with an opening credits which the film companies' logos like "DreamWorks Pictures", "Universal Pictures", and "Imagine Entertainment" are appeared as they're customized in Seuss-formed drawings, and the writings says "DreamWorks Pictures and Universal Pictures presents", "An Imagine Entertainment film", and "With association with Dr. Seuss Enterprises", the title "The Cat in the Hat", and the list of various people who worked on this film, as the Seuss-formed drawings are changed into DreamWoks' Disney-like traditional hand-drawn artstyle and the narrator is heard)

Narrator: There are a gajillions of stories of mischief and fun, but to keep things simple, let's just start with one. About a little girl and a house and a hat, that, oddly enough, was worn by a cat. But soon enough we will get to all that. In the valley that stretches from this hill to that hill, A city is nestled, that city is Anville.

(We cut to the city of Anville as the list continues on-screen)

Alan: Hurry up! We'll miss the movie.

Jim McFinnigan: Any more tutti-frutti?

Alan: I'll check.

Jim McFinnigan: Thanks!

Narrator: It's a town that's not huge, but quite big enough. For buyers and sellers to sell and buy stuff, from shoes and shirts and elongated ladders. To sailboats and gibble-grated berry-juice bladders.

(Horn honks)

Narrator: So our story begins at the corner of Main and Montroob. In the spotless real estate office run by Hank Humberfloob.

(We cut inside Humberfloob Real Estate as the list still continues on-screen)

Joan Walden: (on phone) Humberfloob Real Estate. How can we make your dreams come true? (garbled speaks on phone) What do you mean, you're leaving? You're a babysitter. Babysitters don't leave. They sit. Baby-leavers leave.

Voiceover person: I'm sorry. I really gotta go, Miss Walden.

Joan Walden: Well, I need to come home right away. All right. Thank you, Amy. Sorry (sighs)

Mr. Humberfloob: Attention everyone! It's 9:02. Staff meeting! Staff meeting!

(Some of the workers rushes back to their spots after washing their hands)

Mr. Humberfloob: Look alive, everyone! First I'd like to welcome aboard our newest member of the Humberfloob family, Jim McFlinnagan!

Jim McFinnigan: Mr. Humberfloob, I wanted to thank you...

(His filthy hand holds Mr. Humberfloob's hand, about to shake it, as the rest of the staffs gasp in the shock)

Mr. Humberfloob: (about to outburst in anger) Fired.

Jim McFinnigan: I beg your pardon?

Mr. Humberfloob: Fired.

Jim McFinnigan: (worried) B-But I...

Mr. Humberfloob: (fuming and screams) FIRRRRRRRRRRRRRED-DUH!

(The fearful Jim runs away and Mr. Humberfloob then uses his pocket soap to wash off Jim's filth from his hand until it's clean)

Mr. Humberfloob: (feeling claim) I have to control myself. As you know, tonight is our bimonthly "meet and greet" party. Tonight's host is Joan Walden.

(Staffs applauding to Joan)

Mr. Humberfloob: This is where people can meet our real estate agents in an informal, yet hygienic setting.

Joan Walden: Mr. Humberfloob, I have to get home to my daughter, Sally.

Mr. Humberfloob: Ah, yes. (looks at her frame photograph of Joan's only daughter, Sally) Your only little daughter. Joan, let me make this perfectly clear. If your house is messy as last time.... (bellows) YOU'RE FIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE-DUH!

Joan Walden: That's pretty clear, Mr. Humberfloob.

Mr. Humberfloob: (smiles) Don't worry. I promise.

Joan Walden: My kid'll be on her best behavior.

Mr. Humberfloob: Great.

(Phone rings)

Joan Walden: Humberfloob Real Estate. How can we make your dreams come true? Please hold.

Scene 2
(We zooms out from Humberfloob Real Estate to the subria here we zooms twoards a house as the voice over narrator continues)

Narrator: If you leave Humberfloob's and turn left onto Main, three miles down you'll find Lipplapper Lane, a pleasent-enough street in a pleasant-enough way where a neighbor greeted neighbor with a neighborly "Hey!"

Joan Walden: Hey!

Jim McFinnigan: Hey!

Narrator: Here the hedges were hedged, the weeds were all weeded, and lawns were moved daily, twice daily if needed. And at the end of the street, in a house like any other, something magical would happen to a little girl, who you'll like to meet.

(We enter one of the house where we meet Sally, a young girl who listing of things with her phone)

Sally: Today's to-do list. Number one: make-to do list. Number two: Practice coloring. Number three: Research graduate schools. Number four: Be spontaneous. Number five: Create lasting childhood memories. And number six: Amend will. I think it sounds too much.

(While she checking her to-do list, Nevins, the family dog, naps in the sun, until the glass breaking noise which wakes up the dog as he then goes on to instigate where he stops to spot a mouse TBD)

Sally: What happened, Nevins.
