Movie Reviews of Dr. Seuss - The Cat in the Hat
Movie Review: Gentle fun for pre-schoolers
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1970s video version of Dr. Seuss's classic is a welcome throwback to the days of low-key, low-tech shows for kids. Of all the DVDs in her home video library-which, of course, includes many of the Disney persuasion--this is one of the few that my 3-year-old granddaughter feels totally comfortable with. To quote her, "It's not scary." Need I say more? Simply drawn, with no jarring special effects, and gently narrated in the guy-next-door voice of Alan Sherman, this is a winner. The second feature, featuring sweetly drawn renderings of careers one might choose when one "grows up," is a bonus.
Summary of Dr. Seuss - The Cat in the Hat
Geared toward younger viewers, this Beginner Book Video is a static, nonmusical version of the classic Dr. Seuss tale The Cat in the Hat (1957). It should not be confused with the 1972 TV special. While actors voice original narration and dialogue, original illustrations are brought to life via cutouts, with the result that there is some activity, but characters' lips don't move when they speak. School-aged children and adults may find the effect off-putting. (On the plus side, the Cat in the Hat is voiced by Allan Sherman.) The second story, Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be a Vet! (1980), was written by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) under the pseudonym Theo. LeSieg, and is animated in the same fashion. Dr. Seuss did not illustrate the original story. As in the Beginner Book original, Michael J. Smollin is credited with the artwork. --Kathleen C. FennessySimilar DVD Movies
