That's why I'm easy,
Easy like Sunday morning

Just got back from this and now I have that feeling that came shortly after seeing The Phantom Menace. It's that feeling that comes every time a small piece of your childhood, say for instance, the Cat in the Hat, or Han Solo and Greedo getting ready to pull triggers, start sailing away on a happy ship full of feral butchers. The Cat I remember was funny and likeable, not crude, the old one wouldn't say, "Dirty ho," when looking at a dirty ho in someone's yard, even if it would earn him some laughs. Disappointed, yes. And while we still get that the Cat is a good guy who suddenly messes a lot of things up, in turn becoming the "bad guy" of the story, the film still added a "real bad guy."
The best part was when "Easy" started playing. I thought that it was the Faith No More version.
When the Cat says, "I'll end you," I laughed.
Good luck, goodbye old Cat.
