Why the Cat in the Hat is better than UP

I'm not going to be the one that defends Cat in the Hat from a critical standpoint, but this discussion looks like a lot of adults crying about the lost innocence of youth. The PG rating suggested that this wasn't for kids -- the "dirty ho" joke crossed the line -- but it clearly was made for kids. Mine loved it (can't say the same for myself).

Hollywood is trying to hard to make kids movies that adults also enjoy, which happens every time a kids movie gets a PG rating. It makes no sense. I enjoyed "Up" but my 1st grader much preferred Cat in the Hat. And why not, Up was serious, dark, and ominous at times -- all great elements of an adult movie that younger kids have trouble relating to. Cat in the Hat had adult elements too but they mostly went right over my daughter's head. What she saw was a fast paced, visually appealing, zany movie that made no sense. Without the adult humor, it would be hard to argue with the movie from a kid's perspective.

So, I'll ask -- I know you hated it (so did I), but what did your kids think about the movie?
