Description
My take on those "Hang in There" posters with the cat dangling from the branch, starring Klawdia the hippy kitty.Related content

It's like she's saying, "There's no way I'm letting you cut down this tree."

I'm with her on saving the trees. I'd climb up, but I'm not a spotted skunk.

Ha-ha!
All I'm thinking about is that scene in The Cat in the HatΒ where the cat almost sweared after chopping off his tail and then they censored it and suddenly cut to a "realistic" cat with the same clothes and the words "Hang in there, baby!" across the screen!

Never seen it, but that sounds hilarious.

Well, to be honest, it's a HORRIBLE adaptation of the book! All those pop-cultural references and adult humor kinda ruin the movie, especially seeing how it was supposed to be kid-friendly. It makesΒ The Grinch look like a safer film!

However, there are a few people out there who do like it just for the sake of the jokes they never got when they were younger. I myself like the movie because of the jokes that make it horrible! Mainly because I read the book before and know it inside and out, and I know that the movie just made changes to it just to extend the long-running time. I know the jokes didn't come from the book; this is just what Hollywood does to make the story appealing to both kids and adults: the Seuss style for kids and adult humor for, well, the adults. Which in turn makes the movie a mess. And that's why you will never see another live-action Dr. Seuss movie.

But like I said, I didn't mind because I knew the book before I saw the movie. I don't go by the movie's adaptation of the story. I just know that this is what movies at the time did to stuff based on cartoons and books. The jokes themselves were kinda hidden, so I never got them. Now that I'm older, I find them funnier! But if you're a kid repeating the stuff you see onscreen, that's bad news to parents. That's why smart(er) people don't like the movie.

However, if you just wanna see the jokes, they're pretty funny. Just don't expect it to be a "good film" because there are "funny" moments that don't tie in with the typical Seuss world.

I liked The Grinch, but they probably should have stopped there. Cat in the Hat just looks cheesey and tacky, with none of the stylistic cool of The Grinch. Lesson learned, Hollywood.

Yeah, I agree. I still liked it, though. The music is also something to be admired.

At least they're remaking the live-action Seuss movies in animation by the same team who made The Lorax. Maybe those could be better adaptations.

Hippies also have their problems. 
Very creative job with the complaining bulldog worker.

And, how! I guess there's a reason people laugh at them. Thanks.

I can imagine the Celestiverse's resident environmentalist Terradust with her claws dug right into the other side. Go, hippies!

Terradust, haven't seen her before.
Hippies: good for trees, annoying to everyone else.

Terradust is Stardust's cousin. She has a big silver headdress with green "hair" made from plant fibers. I've never drawn her.

She sounds quite interesting.

I'm glad. I was feeling like doing a parody of something, and this popped into my head.
Thanks for the fave.

You're welcome
I love Klawdia, but you can probably tell why.

As another owner of a hippie chick character, I'm not surprised you'd like her.
