Goofy, but Informative.......2007-04-06

This was a cute biographical documentary about the life of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. It was a bit campy at times, but I knew more about the author than I had before after watching the video. I wasn't able to find much in the way of video resources about Dr. Seuss. This was the best, by far, that I've found up to this point.

Excellent Bio for the Family.......2006-01-03

This originally aired on a cable channel, and my then 7 year old and I watched it and were enchanted. Today, it is still one of our favs (which is why I am getting the dvd--our video broke).
This contains excellent information on Dr. Seuss' life, including his childhood, and his work during WWII. My daughter (no in her teens) was so hooked that last year she did her biography research paper in history class on Dr. Suess. her classmates were astounded to learn about the man behind "The Cat in the Hat".
I have used this while babysitting kids (@age 7-10) and they loved it. Little kids probably couldn't follow it, or understand the historical portions.
While it may not be a perfect video for the preschool set, it is interesting, informative, and provides a facinating look at America's fav author for children. Here is a true hero for us all--someone who wanted to inspire children to reach for the stars, to learn more. Unlike so many of the"heros" that our kids have on thier bedroom walls (sports figures, musicians, actors), Dr. Seuss truly can be an inspiration for us all.

Pure Gold.......2005-06-28

I love this movie. My daughter loved it from the time she was five. Does it have some images of Hitler and Stalin? Yes, but they are used to reinforce the influence that anti-semitism had on Ted Giesel's life (Dr. Suess was Jewish). They were not overwhelming to my young child. They did however, provide an opening for us to discuss prejudice and tolerance. This movie has something for both children and adults. My daughter still watches this move and she is twelve.

Wonderfully Done.......2003-10-05

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie when it was on TV. I am so glad to find out that the DVD will be out in time for Christmas. Not only did we enjoy our favorite stories and the wonderful actors and actresses, but we found out so many interesting facts about Ted Geisel himself. This prompted my now 13 year old to start studying this wonderful man on his own. We have purchased a biography about T.G. and have now sent several of the hard cover books as gifts to other children. I cannot tell everyone enough how much our family has enjoyed this movie...Great for adults as well as children!

Truly Awful!.......2003-01-23

This has to qualify as one of the worst films of all time. It has the unfunniest jokes, the most bored-looking stars, and the stupidest makeup of any film! It is an insult to Dr.Seuss, Ted Geisel, AND Theo. LeSeig(His various names). It has a good story to tell but botches it totally. A pain to watch.
