As for cringe one of the only things that ever hits me hard in that department is when they have an awkward and introverted character try to act smooth or cool to impress someone their crushing on. Maybe I'm speaking too much from personal experience but someone with that personality type would not pull that! They know good and damn well that they'd make a spectacular fool of themselves and fear of doing just that is why they haven't approached this person already! This doesn't happen except in scripted moments. Moments that I swear are designed to test what level of sympathetic embarrassment it takes for you to cringe so so hard your ribs squish your lungs.

I didn't know that I needed to see anything this badly, but this, this, I need to see! Anything Dr. Seuss I need to see, especially something filled with this level of happiness.

The best change they did was when Guy actually tries the green eggs and ham. It’s not out of defeat, it’s out of his own will to prove he cares about Sam. That alone is a great change in how it’s telling people that you should try things at your own pace (like when Guy was at his family’s house and decided to try it somewhere he was comfortable). As someone who does have trouble trying new things, it really helps to do it at your own pace and it may mean experimenting to find the right way to do it.

I actually have a strange but kind of fun memory of this story. Back when I was 5 years old my kindergarten teacher had us read Green Eggs and Ham during class, and after we finished the book, the next day she came to class with green eggs and ham for us to eat for a little snack that day. It just made the day more interesting and it's stuck with me ever since.

something this show does really well is making chaotic scenes relaxing. In many works that get humor and story beats out of chaotic high action scenes, it just stresses me out. It's too much for me to process at once and I just want things to slow down again. In shows like this that doesn't happen, every element that is added to the chaos is set up and then followed up, no scene like that lingers too long, and the animation is fluid enough that I can process what I'm looking at. Instead of thinking "Oh no, this is gonna be a lot" I think "Oh this is gonna be a lot! I can't wait to see it!"

Chuck Jones didn't work on The Lorax. That was DePatie-Freleng Enterprises. Chuck Jones did however work on The Cat in the Hat (which began development at MGM around the time they shut down their animation studio again and fired Chuck Jones in which development of the special was moved over to DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and while Chuck's name is on the special, he left during production after a dispute with Ted Giesel. After that, Chuck broke off on his own doing cartoon adaptations of children's literature like A Cricket in Time Squares, and even 3 cartoons based on stories from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling (one of which, Rikki Tikki Tavi gained a cult following)

This show was really great. I wasn't originally expecting much from it based upon what I saw in the trailers but it surpassed all my expectations. I thought they were going to bloat the story with boring fluff but they actually made it engaging. I thought the characters were going to be caricatures but they had depth. The animation is top notch and gleefully reminded me of the hay days of when we got quality hand drawn animation from Disney, Warner Bros and Don Bloth. The only thing I really disliked about it was main villain as he felt more flat and cookie cutter cut out villain. I really hope we get another season.

How can this and almost everything that isn't DC Live Action, be 95% consistent and well written?

@judgem0rt1s23

2 жыл бұрын

I think that's because cartoons in general are able to get away with a lot of stuff that live action just can't. Also I think there's this unspoken thing of "It's live action, so everything needs to be more realistic", like that bit in the first X-Men movie where Cyclops mentioned how stupid it would be for real life super heroes like them to where weird costumes like the ones they had in the comics.

Dr.Seuss was some of the first books I was introduced to as a young child. Reading has always held a special place in my heart because of the financial sacrifices my grandmother gave to ensure that I had a proper education and learned to read. She purchased a subscription to several children's books that advanced as you aged. The first shipment came when I couldn't even read and I just used the books to build a tower or town to play with my dolls. Once I started attending school and learned how to read I then started reading them. It was like a whole new world to me. Once I started reading my grandmother and aunts took time with us to encourage us to keep reading by listening to us and guiding us in word pronouncement. Looking back I was truly blessed to have a family that encouraged education and made sure we learned something in what little way they could.

That bit at the end about not wanting a season 2 but wanting more in general is a phenomenon I've only ever really felt with Calvin and Hobbes, which was to me what Green Eggs and Ham was to you growing up (Although I really loved Dr. Suess' works as well). Calvin and Hobbes was something I always wanted more of in some way, shape, or form. With that said... I'm on the fence about Bill Watterson continuing it, because as he put it he very well could continue making Calvin and Hobbes strips to the end of time, but ultimately he'd be retreading old ground over and over again. We saw how *fun* that is with the Simpsons... And yet, to this day I want more of it. Toys and merchandise would've been good (lord knows I and a billion others would've emptied our wallets for that) but Watterson himself avoided that because he felt marketing his characters cheapened their value, which for a long time I didn't understand until I looked real hard at Garfield. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Wanting more out of something is a natural yet specific phenomenon... but is getting a healthy dose of "more" something that can be given without some dollops of disappointment sprinkled on top? Edit: That being said, that one Robot Chicken sketch they did of Calvin and Hobbes was a screaming riot, and easily one of my favorite moments in that show.

I kinda liked the idea of him being a bad guy, it sort of twisted expectations of his nice personality but they didn’t make him secretly evil. Like others would have.

This show hit me in ways I didn't expect, in no small part to me relating to both Sam and Guy in different ways. Sam changing himself over and over just to find something that will keep someone around long term heavily reminds me of grade school me throwing myself into various social groups and hoping someone would decide to keep me. Guy coming from a loving and supportive home but feels like the failure in a group of successes even though they don't care about that reminds me of my family and how much I keep hurting myself believing I am not worth the same as my siblings. I genuinely cried at several points in this show because it hits in some very personal ways I just was not prepared to face that day.

Probably the absolute best adaptation of a Seuss book we ever got. I'd say maybe the best we ever will get, but who would have thought the absolute best adaptation would happen this long after Seuss died?

Beautiful video Shady! Netflix's Green Eggs & Ham was a series that shouldn't have worked, but it did. and now we're waiting for Season 2

“The fox isn’t wearing Sox!” Had me dying 🤦‍♀️🤣

I *love* this show and want more of it - totally waiting on season 2. It's candied vegetables for my eyes and brain.

It greatly captures and pleases the eyes. It's style reminds me of Chuck Jones.

Speaking of under appreciated shows that deserve more kid cosmic seems to have fallen in a similar way with green eggs and ham

Green Eggs and Ham always seemed like a weird story to me. Like, I get that it's about trying new things, but I kind of feel like oddly discolored food is something you shouldn't try.

this show was great when it came out i watched it thinking it was gonna be a funny and nothing serious show but it surprised me. The scene that Doorags doesn't want to spoil made me aw out loud. It was a touching moment

There is not enough love of this show in the world. Been trying to get my friends to watch it cause it is actually awesome. Great review man. Also. Comparing Michelle to gollum made me do a spit take. Well done.

I found out about this show 20 minutes ago when I saw you posted this video. I'm a lifelong Seuss fan. Holy crap, this cartoon is BEAUTIFUL. It looks _aggressively_ hand-drawn, as if to shove the fact in your face. When it's moving it looks like you can see un-erased excess pencilwork, but when you pause you can see how deliberate everything is. And contrasted with the shading and palette. It immediately reminded me of The Iron Giant, even though it looks nothing like that movie. I need to watch this.

So you finally decided to cover this masterpiece. It far surpasses Shrek.

The last scene where Michellee had a misunderstanding with Guy was the only one that annoyed me. The other ones I could understand cause Guy WAS lying to her but all he did in the last one was walk into the same room and was clearly just as shocked as everyone else and yet somehow Mischellee believes that he did something because... why? Because he just so happened to be in the same building while there was an important event going on?...??? Even Guy seemed annoyed at that point, it was the only time he actually fired back while she was going off on him.

What a coincidence, I just started my third rewatch of this show and it's as charming as it was when it first came out.

Also season 2 isn’t required the show runner making the decision should be fired. But seriously id love to see other new stories by this crew since the green eggs and ham story was already wrapped up.

I forgot this came out and I really wanted to watch it

tbh, there is a thing of "learned helplessness" that exists within guy's arc. he feels helpless, powerless, incapable of doing anything. when you're in that bad of a position, you begin to feel like the world is just against you, and you just stop trying altogether. to get out of it, you need someone to take your hands, and show you that you CAN impact the world and that you're NOT helpless. This is effectively that for guy. It's his journey showing that he can make a difference to people, and he isn't just some failure.

YES FINALLY someone is talking about this

I think you would love the video game wandersong which shows the other side of optimism beautifully. if you like sam being an optimist who has a sad backstory and is only an optimist for him to make friends and live a happy life, this doesn't mean they are just someone who is happy all the time. good video!

welp you convinced me rag im gonna watch it

I really liked this series, was very surprised how much depth they gave the characters and the twisting storyline

I begrudgingly watched this with my nieces and nephew on a Saturday...... glad I did, is an excellent show.

That segment at 14:30 regarding the concept of adaptations is so poignant. To add my two cents, I think the biggest hurdle with an adaptation is the transition of mediums: folktale, (comic) book, film, tv, videogame. Green Eggs and Ham epitomizes said transition.

Best Dr Seuss adaptation of all time, hands down

I had high hopes for the show, after seeing the trailer and hearing that it was hand drawn, I was sold. This is definitely a worthwhile show. It really made a whole world around a book made on a bet. I played it at first for background noise, but I had to go back and actually watch it. The colors are great, the characters are great and the story is amazing. I think Seuss would have been proud of this.

I'll watch it for the animation, alone.

I’ve seen the season, Shady. I think I’m gonna know your arguments, and might agree. But I have to make a point out first. As a straight-up adaptation, it isn’t alluring. You are not getting the book, and only the book. Which brings me to the other hand. As an adaptation given the extreme liberties WB was given, yes. This shit is absolutely worth it and then some. As you’ve said, this series so far still has the roots. And the adventure in the series can keep kids rather locked in most of the time. By the way, the animation is very much frame-by-frame…and look at the art style. It’s remiscent of one Chuck Jones. It isn’t exact, but the style is HEAVILY inspired. And I think THAT is one reason why you are drawn to it. (Add) the Michellee cringe is kind of (I THINK) intended to make kids and adults…cringe. I do believe it’s absolutely meant to be the way we view it. As for the things between her and Guy, I personally DID find them a little more impactful. Accidental mishaps and misconceptions eroding her trust until the last two (?) episodes (for those who didn’t watch, I won’t give that away) literally illustrates what it’s like to have a complex relationship…albeit in the exaggerated and highly fantastical manner they chose to do so.🤣

I will forever be haunted by this story

This has to be the best adaptation I've ever seen

To be honest while I did like Michellee and e.b. I’m disappointed they were only in there for the romantic subplot. And it’s the only reason their there. Sure they had characters development but they could be dropped from the plot. Some have speculated their was going the be a romance between guy and Sam considering it was produced by Ellen’s animation company. So I’ve always wondered if that’s why they included the female characters. But green eggs and ham doesn’t need a romantic element to it. I’m not saying they can’t for either but to put in another character solely for the purpose of romance is kinda disrespectful towards that character. But I did like the twist but they did some questionable things. Also I wonder if some reviewers were put off because they assumed it was going to be bad or was going to be written for very small children or they already read the book and knew the plot.

This show is a masterpiece 👏 🙌 ✨️
