Goofs, Errors Corrections and Differences

  • This is a review of the Goofs, Errors, Corrections and Differences between the video and the book.
  • On page 1 on the video of this book there are some differences. In the book the text "Red, Blue, and Pickle Color" are not used. The Cat in the Hat's glasses are already in a "Pickle Color"; but, as the video begins you will see that the Cat's glasses lens are red then then the camera zooms into the cat as his lens are now blue. The Camera zooms in again as the lens are now in the pickle color green.
  • On the top of page 2, some changes are made. More blue coloring has been added to fit into the scenery in the video where you will see the Cat reading in bed as the young cat looks into the window. Notice in the video that the window and the picture frame have a little less from how they looked in the book.
  • On the bottom of page 2 there are a few differences. In the book, the Cat's glasses, you will notice that the right lens is purple and the left lens is brown, the Cat was not blinking none of his eyes. During this time his is pointing his umbrella to the subtitles "Purple" and "Brown" and the young cat is looking in that direction the Cat in the hat is pointing. Now, In the video, both the left and right lens turn from purple to brown and during that change of colors, The Cat is blinking his right eye in purple, then blinks his left eye in brown. Notice that his umbrella is not in this scene cause the words have been taken out from this scene and young cat is not facing the right but facing left looking at the cat in the hat instead. The editors have also moved young cat up a little bit.
  • On page 3 on the book, you will see the hills in the background and the clouds and the light yellow sky. you will see the young cat climbing up a big Circle where the Cat is seen upside down while walking and a bird is shocked at what the cat is doing as he flies in the scene. In the video, you will see him right side up and then he swirls upside down. Notice that the layer of this Cat has grown a few times from the size he was in the book. The hills have been moved up and the first tree has been moved over to the right a little, the second tree has been moved more on the left, the green house has been moved up a bit in the same place but on another part of the hill. The clouds and the flying bird are not in this scene on the video like in the book. the Bold text on the circle was gone too.
  • Due to the Cat's hat being cut off on the top of page 4 in the book, the editors drew and painted in his hat however they painted it wrong because the cat's hat always had 3 red and 2 white stripes, not one white and 2 red. Young Cats hat was cut from the page too but the edits drew and painted his hat in correctly. Also in the book he was standing on the older Cat's Back but, in the video they took him from the older cat's back and put him beside the older cat and rotated him up a little. On the bottom of page 4 of the video everything is the same except the background still being blue and not green like it was in the book.
  • On page 5, everything is the same but the Cat's whiskers on the left have been bold.
  • On page 6-7 on the video of this book, the scene is zoomed into the cat's book being balanced on the handle of his umbrella that is being balanced n the brown grass. The cat's hand has been cut off from the body and used to point at the words he is saying as the camera is zoomed in. Then the hand is back on the body as the camera phases to the full scene and zooms out slowly viewing the full scene. Young Cat has been brought in a little closer going right as well as the tree behind him and the other tree by the older Cat has been brought in going left being close to the him.
  • On page 8-9 on the video of this book, the camera is zoomed into the big cat as he is reading his green book. The green and the cats hands have been moved up to his face to make it seem like he is reading. There are a few changes to the scene The cat's hat (that was slumping) from the recent page 6-7 is used to replace his messed up hat he was normally wearing in the book. He is wearing the slumping hat at the time and his eye browns are not red at the time but black. Then the scene changes back to how it was in the book where his hat is now messed up with more red and white stripes and his eyebrows have turned red. Some of the small pink squiggly lines have been erased out the scene which explains why you only see a few. Young cat is 4 steps closer to the Cat in the Hat and the red slumped tree, "that was a perfectly fine tree in the last scene" has been moved closer to the young cat but also moved down a few paces too.
  • On page 10-11 on the video of this book, the scenery has been a little expanded. The first tree you see has an error where is cut off on the bottom to the it being cut on the page but the top of the tree has been drawn and painted in.Tree #4 has been moved in between tree#2 and tree#3. The cat and young cat are phasing in from the right then they phase quickly leaving the scene as Jim Thurman "the voice of the Cat in the Hat as the narrator" reads a little faster. The tree that is cut off from the page on the left has been erased in the scene and another tree is moved to the bottom. If you look closely at the bottom of the screen of this scene, the bottom trees are cut at the bottom and a cloud in the sky is missing only showing one cloud.
  • Everything is the same on page 12 on the top as the camera is zooming out the scene where Cat and young cat are by the trees. On the bottom of page 12 the bees have been rotated up and are moving their wings bee#1 is moved behind bee#2 and bee#3 is in front of bee#2. In the video, the Cat's tail is not much squiggly and pointed back and but in the book its squiggly but a little part of is cut from the page of the book. The knee with yellow shorts is rotated up from being slanted down to the left and most of the purple background scene has been painted in to fill and fit the t.v. screen.
  • On page 13 on the video of of this book on the upper page scene of "Knees on Trees" everything is the same as the camera is zooming at a blue bird looking at a knee and on the bottom page scene the 3 bees you saw earlier are in a purple background in the video but all white in the book. The 3 Numbers 3 comes in under the bees one by one and not at the same time.
