Green Eggs and Ham (2019–2022)

Now this is a Dr. Seuss adaptation

[9/10 · 13 November 2019]

I was utterly surprised!

Not only was the animation magnificent. Even though they made it a full narrative, they still kept the overall spirit of both the book and Dr. Seuss in general. The writing was intelligent and could appeal to both kids and adults. They also really had great themes of friendship, making amends, and doing what you want.

A+

The Cat in the Hat (2003)

How did this get green lit?

[1/10 · 6 August 2014]

If Dr. Seuss were alive to see this piece of garbage, he would either have a heart attack or kick the living crap out of whoever produced this thing you people call a movie. To me this feels almost like a parody of Dr. Seuss than an actual adaption. My biggest gripe though was with the dirty jokes and sexual innuendo. THIS IS A DR. SEUSS MOVIE, DIRTY JOKES HAVE NO PLACE IN THIS!!! I also felt Mike Myers was severely miscast as the Cat in the Hat. What is the deal with that accent. It sounds like a cross between a Yiddish accent and the lion from The Wizard of Oz. That laugh got really annoying after a while too. I really hated the cat costume. It looks like he he got stuck with only two facial expressions and when Myers moves he looks stiff. Do not get me started on the gratuitous scenes such as the cat in dress after getting hit in the balls with a bat or the party booth with Paris Hilton. To say that most of the special effects suck would be an understatement. The one thing that makes it really terrible though is even if you had never heard of the Cat in the Hat or Dr. Seuss and just watched this, you would still say its a terrible movie. Here I quote the Nostalgia Critic, "By adding grown-up humor, you make it more childish, by modernizing the dialogue you make it more dated and by changing the source material it shows you have no respect for what is already perfect." Avoid this travesty and read the book and then watch the 1971 cartoon.
