fun and silly.. cat in the hat.. good little dvd.. 3 stories, each as rediculous as each other.. not too long, but long enough to get a good load of washing done and maybe even the washing up!

Really enjoyed this 3 part tales of Dr.Seuss
Brilliant old style Dr.Seuss, just beware that the fish does shot himself in the head but this is from the original book if watching with younger children. 3 episodes of true Dr.Seuss fun and adventure really enjoyed this dvd 5 stars

The gag is funny if you know who Peter Lorre is (as most ...
Some people have criticized a joke in "Horton Hatches an Egg." A fish with Peter Lorre's face sees Horton sitting on an egg while crossing the ocean attached to a ship. The fish, in Peter Lorre's voice, says, "Now, I've seen everything.He then pulls out a gun and shoots himself. The gag is based on several other similar gags in other cartoons. The gag is funny if you know who Peter Lorre is (as most people watching the cartoon in the 1940s in a movie theater would). Lorre was know for the psychotic characters he often played. Children under 12 today would just find it bizarre and momentarily amusing and forget about it in two seconds.Apparently some parents are afraid their children are so stupid that they are going to somehow get a gun and imitate the fish. It would be a great shame if anybody follows these parents obsessions with protecting their children and do not get this DVD because of it. "Horton Hatches an Egg" has an incredibly beautiful message of self sacrifice and love for children ever shown in a cartoon. One has to adore Horton's fantastic slogan, "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful 100%." It is one of the great messages for children in any animated movie."I would recommend this DVD to any parent, "100%."

Fun!
I bought this video to use in my 2nd grade classroom as we celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday. It has three cartoons and they are about 20 min each. I have a book and an activity, which go with each cartoon, so this DVD is perfect.

It could be worse: A review that's in verse
Not included in "Hats off to Seuss" is"Horton Hatches the Egg," an exclusiveCartoon to this set, but the other two are,So one has to decide if the price is too farTo pay for one episode, however perfect.I myself happened to find it was worth it.If Hats off to Seuss, which contains mostly allThe specials from yesteryear isn't your call,You'll find two more episodes here. Take a look.It has Daisy-Head Mayzie and Butter Battle Book.Chuck Jones made "Mayzie" and "Horton," you know.The guy who's most famous for Buggs, Daffy, and co.While Ralph Bakshi made the original Lord of the Rings,Here "Butter Battle" is one of his things.Two cartoonists prestiged lend their talents to SeussAnd I promise, none of these look like a deuce.They seem remastered, good fidelity.Without Universal's films of vulgarityNo Jim Carrey here to yell, oh no no.No cats making out with a gardening hoe.No Paris Hilton to dance at a rave.Nothing to make Geisel roll in his graveBecause he was there, supervising these films.Even if animators were at the helmsSo I promise you this, o worried parentShould you pass this up? I say no, I dare-n't

Fun and eduactional
This is a great video to show a class if discussing Dr. Suess. Note that it is a little long so it may require to class periods to see the whole thing but it's really engaging.
