4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Dr. Seuss at his best., January 12, 2004

This review is from: Dr. Seuss - Green Eggs and Ham and Other Favorites (Grinch Night) (DVD)

This DVD contains four digitally remastered (great image quality) classic Dr. Seuss stories:
* Green Eggs and Ham: about Sam-I-Am and his never ending quest to make people sample the dish he loves best.
* The Sneetches: about a narrow-minded and prejudiced group of creatures who don't accept others who don't look exactly like them.
* The Zax: about two hardheaded and proud beings who waste a whole lifetime for not yielding the right of way.
* Grinch Night: about a courageous kid who faces the Grinch and saves his whole town from his malicious Halloween tricks and terrors. (A must see on Halloween night).
It also contains two wonderful sing-along songs: He Will Eat Them and Grinches Inches Closer.
Not only does this collection of cartoons contains the marvelous songs and poetry of Dr. Seuss, it is also a great way to teach kids about human values like open-mindedness, tolerance and acceptance, humility, courage and selflessness. They are filled with original art and are also very entertaining.
Buy this DVD for your kids and enjoy it with them. I would also recommend buying Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat and Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's just say it had a lifelong impact..., January 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr. Seuss - It's Grinch Night [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My earliest memory is the first time I saw "Grinch Night"--when I was about two years old. Bad mistake on my parents' part...that movie scared me silent. I hardly understood the plot, but I remembered very specific aspects of it: the line about Eukariah's glasses, the weird orange bird that's always featured on the cover, the Grinch's flying eyebrows, and this big hovering ballon-thing with huge eyes...I had nightmares for years.

I watched it again when I was seven (actually I was forced to watch it because we watched it in class for Halloween), and it still scared me to death--even more so because I understood the plot. And then I didn't have the courage to watch it again until I was thirteen years old.

And, even though I still have nightmares about it, I have an awesome new respect for it--the combined efforts of Dr. Seuss and Joe Raposo created the perfect spooky atmosphere for a children's Halloween special that wasn't even remotely corny. Highly recommended--just not for two-year-olds. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Halloween is Grinch Night, July 17, 2005

This review is from: Dr. Seuss - It's Grinch Night [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My review is on the Emmy Award winning "Halloween is Grinch Night", shortened later to just "Grinch Night" for some reason. It's a 30 minute Halloween special that originally aired on CBS in 1977. The Grinch Night story is not well known, but those that have seen it hold a special place for it in their hearts. Obviously not all of the animated specials of Seuss stories have been on the same level as the "The Grinch that Stole Christmas", but they are very enjoyable in their own right. The narrator and the Grinch is voiced this time by Hans Conried. There are two Seuss songs, "He Will Eat Them", and "Grinch's Inches Closer", both hilarious as you might expect.

Without giving away the whole story, you see the Grinch didn't stay good after Christmas and is back to being dastardly and mean. The citizens of Whoville notice the sour-sweet wind blowing and know that it means GRINCH NIGHT is coming. The "Whos" lock up their doors and windows to hide as this wind means that the Grinch is coming to terrify them on Halloween night. A boy named Eukariah decides that the Grinch must be stopped, so he faces his fears and confronts the Grinch and his countless monsters and spooks he has brought to attack the town. It is an enjoyable tale for the holiday.

Dr. Seuss personal influence is always apparent in his specials. He was the Producer this time along with Warner Brothers Studio's Friz Freleng. His original story and artwork comes alive. There is a different, more muted color scheme than most of his other films, but that is mostly due to the story occurring at night and the Halloween theme.

There are about 4 different releases of this story on vhs. This story also appears on a newer DVD with Green Eggs and Ham and 2 other short stories.
