2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing mistake., July 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr. Seuss - Daisy-Head Mayzie [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While Daisy Head Maysie has many elements of a good Dr. Seuss book and a thoughtful story line with a good moral, it falls far short of the goals set by Dr. Seuss with his better known books. When the draft of this book was discovered posthumously, it was animated and published. The reason that Dr. Seuss did not do so himself when he was alive is clear. It was still too rough and unpolished. It contains many loose ends, and rhymes that don't quite work. No doubt, Dr. Seuss would have spent more time on it before he had it published. It was shelved for a reason. Stick with his better known works. END

4.0 out of 5 stars daughter's favorite, November 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr. Seuss - Daisy-Head Mayzie [VHS] (VHS Tape)

my 3 year old daughter watches this over and over. it is a neat story and nice music and she loves the umbrella ride daisy gets to take with The Cat in the Hat. I am buying it now because we have checked out the free one at the video store so much I feel guilty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Finest but Sure is Timeless, November 20, 2011

This review is from: Dr. Seuss - Daisy-Head Mayzie [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was just a little kid when this video first came out and my Grandma bought it for me as a present. I remember watching it over and over and over again. Eventually it got put away and was pulled out again just a few days ago when I was organizing movies. My daughter, who is now just short of four years old herself, saw the cover and insisted we watch it. Being in my twenties now I was more skeptical now than I was then. But she absolutely adores it and she is well on her way to memorizing the whole thing as I did at her age.
Watching it with eyes untainted by childhood excitement I have to agree with the other reviews, this may not be the best work of Dr. Seuss but I must say it still has a special place in my heart. As close as it is to my heart I could not give it the full five stars, the reason being that there is just one thing about the story have always bothered me. Even as a little kid, I didn't understand how she could be accused of abandoning her friends in order to pursue fortune when she really didn't seem to have any friends at all in the beginning of the film. That point aside, I must say that even after all these years I know every single word to the story and watching it does make me smile (at least it did the first three times my daughter made me watch it with her). So overall, like I stated in the beginning of this review, Daisy-Head Mayzie may not be Dr. Seuss at his finest but it sure is timeless.
