It could be worse: A review that's in verse

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2017

Not included in "Hats off to Seuss" is
"Horton Hatches the Egg," an exclusive
Cartoon to this set, but the other two are,
So one has to decide if the price is too far
To pay for one episode, however perfect.
I myself happened to find it was worth it.

If Hats off to Seuss, which contains mostly all
The specials from yesteryear isn't your call,
You'll find two more episodes here. Take a look.
It has Daisy-Head Mayzie and Butter Battle Book.
Chuck Jones made "Mayzie" and "Horton," you know.
The guy who's most famous for Buggs, Daffy, and co.
While Ralph Bakshi made the original Lord of the Rings,
Here "Butter Battle" is one of his things.

Two cartoonists prestiged lend their talents to Seuss
And I promise, none of these look like a deuce.
They seem remastered, good fidelity.
Without Universal's films of vulgarity
No Jim Carrey here to yell, oh no no.
No cats making out with a gardening hoe.
No Paris Hilton to dance at a rave.
Nothing to make Geisel roll in his grave

Because he was there, supervising these films.
Even if animators were at the helms
So I promise you this, o worried parent
Should you pass this up? I say no, I dare-n't

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2017

Some people have criticized a joke in "Horton Hatches an Egg." A fish with Peter Lorre's face sees Horton sitting on an egg while crossing the ocean attached to a ship. The fish, in Peter Lorre's voice, says, "Now, I've seen everything.He then pulls out a gun and shoots himself. The gag is based on several other similar gags in other cartoons. The gag is funny if you know who Peter Lorre is (as most people watching the cartoon in the 1940s in a movie theater would). Lorre was know for the psychotic characters he often played. Children under 12 today would just find it bizarre and momentarily amusing and forget about it in two seconds.
Apparently some parents are afraid their children are so stupid that they are going to somehow get a gun and imitate the fish. It would be a great shame if anybody follows these parents obsessions with protecting their children and do not get this DVD because of it. "Horton Hatches an Egg" has an incredibly beautiful message of self sacrifice and love for children ever shown in a cartoon. One has to adore Horton's fantastic slogan, "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful 100%." It is one of the great messages for children in any animated movie."
I would recommend this DVD to any parent, "100%."

Dr. Seuss - Not for kids? That's nothing new.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2012

Starting out as an editorial writer for his views on isolationism and militarism during WWII, Dr. Seuss' political cartoons of the 1940s are used in classrooms of general and higher education across the world. His works are referenced beyond the history class - into all of the Social Sciences as well as English and Lit courses. As a mother, there is a value of Dr. Seuss' works that are for children, and there are many more that are beyond the children section of your public library. It is similar to popular shows of our childhoos like Ren and Stimpy, Simpsons, South Park - animation does not appropriate tv for kids make. Neither does colorful pictures and sing-song paragraphs. Of course the tales in these movies is not intended for a younger audience 100%, but there is no shame on Dr. Seuss for his legacy. The political mindfulness and focus was the purpose of his tales, cleverly hidden within silly names, characters, made-up words, and unreal sketches. Why 4-stars then? Simply the audio quality of the DVD is not the best. I understand it derived from an original VHS format, but with all of the digital sound options and editing we have available to us these days, I was expecting the voices to be clearer, especially in a classroom setting.

My son loves the butter battle book so I got this despite the bad reviews thinking that it couldn't be that bad.....well it is. It's HORRIBLE!!! The first movie Daisy-Head Mayzie teaches bullying and is not for children at all! It teaches kids to hate what's different and sell out your friends and family to be famous. Of course it has a good moral in the end that family is more important but it's done in a very poor fashion. I'm glad I screened this movie before letting my son watch it. He will never watch Daisy-Head Mayzie! I can't believe other reviewer actually showed this to their children.

The Butter Battle movie, has weird voices and songs that are hard to understand at times. The animation seems to be a little bit choppy as well. I decided to let my son watch this movie because he likes the book so much but he hated the movie and had no interest in it. I don't blame him either.

Much like the Butter Battle clip the Horton movie has strange voices that are difficult to understand. The animation is better then that of other Dr. Seuss DVD's like Green Eggs and Ham but Green Eggs and Ham DVD is WAY WAY better! There is also a fish who shoot's himself in the head with a gun on screen for no real reason. Children can watch the fish shoot himself and that's why this is not a children's clip. I also hate how this movie teaches that it's okay to abandon your baby (aka the egg). My niece asked if all mothers left their babies while they were growing.

I really, really wish I would have listened to other reviewers and not wasted my money on this movie. We are huge Dr. Seuss fans and we're ashamed for Dr. Seuss that this was even put out. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

This is for my 4 year old nephew's Easter basket. His mother will love it, since she watches this with him. I myself am not a fan of Dr. Suess, but for the price it is worth it.
