Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Dr. Seuss on the Loose" is a 25-minute short film from 1973, so this one will have its 45th anniversary next year. The director is Hawley Pratt, but the more known name of this animated movie is of course the writer Dr. Seuss, an institution for children anywhere on the planet (well, except deepest Africa perhaps). He is known for the Lorax and the Cat in the Hat and the latter also appears in here, namely as a presenter of 3 relatively short films that fit in this under half an hour. The first about Sneetches is solid, as is the second about Zax, the shortest from the bunch. But the most memorable thing here is of course the story about Sam-I-Am and the Green Eggs and Ham he tries to serve to his pal, who keeps refusing for a long long time. Amazing work by Paul Winchell too, the man who voices both characters, the "waiter" and the "hater". If you know Seuss a bit, you also know that it relies more on the charm and comedy of the plays on words than on spectacular animation. It looks really retro here, even much older than fifty years old to be honest. Animation is very simple, but it works and elevates the already pretty good voice-over material. It's one of my favorites from Seuss and I recommend checking it out. Certainly ahead of its time.

Woodyanders This choice Dr. Seuss TV special offers three excellent and immensely entertaining stories in a tight 25-minute format. First and most profound segment, "The Sneetches" - Star-bellied sneetches shun their fellow sneetches with no stars on their stomachs in this breezy and charming, yet still relevant parable about prejudice and discrimination. Second nifty yarn, "The Zax" - Amusing vignette on stubbornness about a north-going zax and a south-going zax who obdurately refuse to get out of each other's way. Third and most delightfully madcap outing, "Green Eggs and Ham" - Persistent little Sam-I-Am (voiced with disarming sweetness by Paul Winchell) tries to convince a sour and recalcitrant grouch to sample his favorite dish of green eggs and ham. This particular tale rates as the program's definite hilarious apex, with Dr. Seuss' trademark clever rhymes and infectiously gonzo sense of the absurd operating at their gloriously goofy peak. As usual, it's an absolute joy to see Dr. Seuss' fertile and (over)active imagination at work. The stories all have a pertinent message, but fortunately never become too preachy or heavy-handed. The Cat in the Hat (marvelously voiced with lip-smacking hearty aplomb by Allan Sherman) makes for an extremely jovial and appealing host. The animation is quite vivid and impressive. Dean Elliott's groovy and lively score is likewise right-on funky and effective. A complete treat.

Guitar-8 One of the best Dr. Seuss specials of them all.Paul Winchell provided the voices of both the grouch & Sam-I-Am in that classic children's tale!The best part was when the fox, the goat, the mouse & the dogs sang part of the tune @ the end.

SimpsonsRock11 I love Dr. Seuss animated specials, and this is one of the best! I especially love the "Sneetches", and of course, I have a soft spot for "Green Eggs and Ham"! I love the songs they sing in the entire special, my favorites being the songs the backup singers sing in "Green Eggs and Ham" and the one before "The Zax" and all the songs from the Sneetches.
