Story
STORY: A CAT IN A FIX
As Conrad and Sally ponder what to do on a boring rainy day, little do they know that the adventure of a lifetime is about to unfold. Out of nowhere, The Cat in the Hat shows up to brighten the kids' day while their mother is at work.
He has come to show them it's fun to have fun but you have to know how. But soon all that will change, for The Cat has brought along his Red Crate, a portal to his world sealed by a Magic Crab Lock.
Being the nosey boy he is, Conrad decides to pick the lock and open the Red Crate-unleashing magic. With your favorite characters from the movie, the magic transforms their once cute home into utter mayhem.
Now, the house and all its rooms have been turned upside down, and it is up to The Cat to clean up the mess before Conrad and Sally's mother gets home.
