'The Cat in the Hat'. - Plot: The Cat must help children Gabby and Sebastian cope with moving, risking the loss of his magical hat. - Directors: Alessandro Carloni and Erika Rivinoja; the Cat is voiced in Ukrainian by Pavlo Skorohodko. - Release in Ukraine: pre-premieres on October 31, wide release on November 5, 2026. The Ukrainian dub of Warner Bros.' animated film 'The Cat in the Hat' has added two prominent names to its cast. Singer Kazhanna and TV presenter Lyudmyla Barbir, known to audiences as a host on the '1+1 Ukraine' TV channel, have joined the voice cast. Viewers will be able to hear the artists' voices in cinemas as early as the beginning of November, with pre-premiere screenings starting on October 31, 2026. ### Who's Behind the Voices: Singer and TV Presenter Kazhanna has voiced one of the film's female characters. The creators are keeping the character's name under wraps for now, inviting audiences to discover it during the screening. The singer herself described the film as follows: 'This is a story about imagination, mischief, adventures, and the kind of chaos that sometimes even adults need.' Lyudmyla Barbir is already familiar with voice acting for animated characters: previously, she lent her voice to Dynamite in the animated film 'Planes: Fire & Rescue'. ### Plot: A Mission That Could Cost a Hat The new story focuses on one of Dr. Seuss's most famous characters. This time, the Cat receives a crucial assignment from the Institute of Incredible Imagination and Inspiration—to help siblings Gabby and Sebastian, who are struggling to cope with moving to another city. However, the character, capable of turning any task into chaos, risks going overboard once again: if the mission fails, he could lose his magical hat. ### Directing and the Ukrainian Version The film is directed by Alessandro Carloni, who worked on 'Kung Fu Panda 3', and Erika Rivinoja. In the Ukrainian version, the main character is voiced by Pavlo Skorohodko. Thus, the familiar image of the Cat beloved by fans is joined by the voices of two Ukrainian artists, making the dub one of the notable events of the autumn animation box office. ### Release: Dates and Pre-Premieres ''The Cat in the Hat' will be released in Ukrainian cinemas on November 5, 2026.
