Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs & Ham

This particular disc can barely be considered animation with still images being dragged across static backgrounds in true amateur style. The verbal performance of the reader is next door to pathetic and completely lacks energy. I don't know how anyone can consider this a quality commercial product, it really is a waste of money.

We received this DVD as an Xmas gift. My two and eight month old son loves the "Green Eggs and Ham" segment and demands that it be repeated over and over. Only problem I have with the disc is that the whole thing totals maybe 30 minutes and costs about the same as a full-length DVD. Check this out of the library or buy it used, because it's not worth the price. Sony could have fit more than three 10-minute episodes on this disc, no problem.


how can animation be STILL?   December 26, 2003
I wish I had seen the reviews on Amazon before buying this video. There is nothing moving in this video - it is essentially voiceovers over filming of a book shaking up and down. Not worth the DVD it was burned on. A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY!!!


A big disappointment   November 11, 2003
This video was not animated like the classic Chuck Jones features such as "The Cat In The Hat" and "The Grinch". My daughter was rather disappointed to see the camera scanning over pages of the books she already owns along with paper cutouts of the characters floating around as a cheap replacement for animation. We give this video a thumbs down.


toddler gives thumbs up   January 9, 2003
Since this is a video for kids, I am reviewing it for my 2 year-old, who can't type yet. I have 4 of the Beginner Book Videos and my son has been agog about them for going on 3 months. He likes to flip through the book as the videos go along, forcing me to go out and buy Dr. Suess books I didn't have. Perhaps my son loves them because he's crazy about books to begin with, and this feels like the experience of having a book read, with the plus that the semi-animation brings the book alive somewhat. I also have a son almost 4 who loves these. As for my personal interest, I wouldn't give such a glowing review, but IT'S NOT FOR ADULTS. It's for kids. So don't be dissuaded by the adult reviews below.
