Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss 1986

5-14-86
In May 1986 Dr. Seuss From Then to Now exhibit premiered at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. It was the first time in 60 years Geisel allowed a retrospective of his work to be displayed. In addition to featuring his 45 books, work from his early careers in advertising and as a political cartoonist, were on display. “Why is humor so important? Without humor we’d have nothing” he told News 8’s Lorraine Kimel. Indeed, without his books there would be a great void in literature. He said he didn’t know how he came up with the characters in his books. No explanation for the Grinch, Horton, Sam-I-Am, Thing One…chalk it up to a brilliant mind. He called La Jolla home from 1951 until his death in 1991.
When I was told I was going to see the Cat in the Hat at Balboa Park, I thought.... sounds fun. Not having children at the time, Dr. Seuss wasn’t really on my radar. But when we drove up and saw that huge cat in the hat on top of the building.... it was impressive.
Dr. Seuss was a quiet man and I found out why when I tried to interview him.

    I was born and grew up in a very small village with no electricity and no transportation. It was a very laid back lifestyle all among the neighbours but seems everybody was having fun and we don't seem to have problem back then. My mates and other children were happy to climb trees, push an old tyre with a stick(It's easy when it starts going), piko, tumbang patis etc. When i was 9 years old, I bought my very first book in a dusty old town market for 20 centavos. Man, that's a lot of money way back then 40 years ago! (especially if that is the only money you have for a year!!) THe book was falling apart but i love the funny drawings of a cat. I thought the artist is clever or silly - the reason i bought the book. I have memorised the Happy Birthday To You and used it to improve my English. So every time i meet a professional looking person i ask them what is the meaning of the words in the poem. I even ask someone what is a doorknob as our houses in the village doesn,t have one. In return, i would gladly recite the Happy birthday to you with pride and twinkle in my eyes. Ah, memories with Dr Seuss

    I never liked Dr. Seuss's books as a kid, but, as an adult, I've really enjoyed the films based on his books and I recently discovered his art gallery (yes! THERE'S A WHOLE ART GALLERY OF HIS) in Hawaii, which blew me away. He truly is an artist and philosopher. The sellers told me he didn't actually want his work to be for kids (and there is some creepy-ass adult-only work he's created. You gotta see it if you visit Maui!), and it's TRUE!!!! He did once say, "writing for children is murder!" He's got a more balanced response in this interview, but you can tell he didn't actually intend for his books to be for kids! No wonder I didn't like him as a kid but find him genius as an adult! That's actually how he intended it! It must be an artist-sees-artist thing.

    I got a lot of Dr. Seuss books, Some Dr. Seuss beginner book videos on VHS, One Dr. Seuss animated TV special on VHS that Mrs. Gale my Preschool teacher gave to me called Green Eggs and Ham and other stories and two live action Dr. Seuss movies. Both the live action Grinch movie and the live action Cat in the hat movie are by far the best live action Dr. Seuss film adaptations. I'm not a huge fan of the Illumination animated Dr. Seuss films that we got after Audrey Geisel forbidden future live action Dr. Seuss adaptations on Ted's work because sometimes they can be misguided to the books, the animated TV specials and the first two live action Dr. Seuss films. I mean they did OK but they are not as good as the first three I was telling you about. After all both the live action Grinch and The Cat In The Hat movie are like a cartoon world come to life where you have one world where it's Christmas all the time with a backstory of The Grinch, The Mayor and Martha May when they were kids and another world where it's like Austin Powers because the sets, props and costumes are bright and colorful. Plus they both give you a difference and comparison to both the book and TV specials. Other than that it's been 18 years since the live action Cat in the Hat movie was released in 2003 and I really love this movie. No really. Yes I know it got bad reviews but it's still a really good movie to watch and it's entertaining and I still watch this all the time. Mike Myers is a cool Cat In The Hat, Dakota Fanning is a cute Sally, Spencer Breslin is a great Conrad. The whole cast in this movie is great. If this is not your favorite live action Dr. Seuss film that's fine. Because it's just another version. This was never meant to replace the TV special. The live action version is just a different take on. This one talks about the characters of Sally and Conrad that were in the book and TV special that go on the adventures with The Cat and learning how to get along with each other. Also in the end of the movie they did share the blame and they both learned a lesion and it is a good character development for Sally and Conrad. The TV special will always be a classic that would make people laugh. But the live action version also makes people laugh. Can we all just get along. I mean that is what enjoying movies is all about. Enjoying both of them in different ways. I think I know why some people don't like this live action Cat In The Hat movie because it's kind of ripping off a movie that Mike Myers has been into before this movie. Like the Austin Powers movie series and it can be very hard for the viewers to understand whats going on and remember every little thing that's happening in the movie. So I don't blame this movie for being a bad one. I love how funny the movie is. This movie comes off as a really good Mike Myers flick and they took some of the best stuff from the Austin Powers movie series and create their own spin on things to extend the running time of the movie without going to far. Even though this live action Dr. Seuss movie is ripping off the Austin Powers movie series it's got a little twist to it. But it's still funny. Not only that there is no bad words in this movie. Like the live action Grinch movie this is comedy also done right. The critics are wrong about this movie. I don't listen to them of what they have to say about this movie. I just watch the movie and what my thoughts are on the movie to see if I like it or not. For me I like this movie. It's confusing why some people don't. I really don't know why some people don't like this live action remake of The Cat In The Hat. Some people prefer the live action Grinch movie. For me that's just wrong. I love both of theses live action Dr. Seuss films. But hey if we all hate the same thing then life would be boring. Just like Jim Carrey in the live action Grinch movie Mike Myers as The Cat In The Hat can be funny too. Also Alec Baldwin's performance as Larry Quinn is what made this movie for me. He really steals the show as the main antagonist who is a child hatting jellies lover of a signal Mom trying to marry Joan for her wealth and get rid of her son Conrad by sending him to military school. Not only that he is also a Slob, a lier and a dog knaper. And of cores the coolest villain defeat of what Larry got deserved in movie history. Larry got covered in purple slime in the end of the movie. Such a great thing they did. But over all I think this a good film because when I was a kid the live action Grinch movie was my first live action Dr. Seuss movie that I saw on DVD and the live action Cat in the Hat movie was my second and I grew up with this movie and I have a different opinion it and both of theses live action Dr. Seuss movies are both entertaining and funny. Plus the 2003 movie Cat In The Hat is another live action Dr. Seuss adaptation that's a classic. Although there are some kids from the 1970's that saw the TV special and they think that is way more better than the Mike Myers Cat In The Hat movie you should find time to see them both. They are both worth watching and I can recommend to everyone who loves The Cat In The Hat. Rather if it's in cartoon animation or live action. I hope Universal Pictures will do a live action sequel based off the original sequel The Cat In The Hat Comes Back someday in the future. Since Audrey Geisel died in 2018 there is still hope for a live action sequel. I got an idea for The Cat In The Hat Comes Back live action remake. How about they would make it like Mary Poppins Returns but with a little twist to it. Because the two child stars Dakota Fanning and Spencer Breslin who played Sally and Conrad who are now in their 20s and 30s and Kelly Preston who played their Mom died last year. Alec Baldwin who played Larry is still alive and Mike Myers who played The Cat In The Hat is still alive too. So maybe Larry will come back to the Walden house to get his revenge on Sally and Conrad where Conrad is now married with kids of his own and Sally became an Aunt to Conrad's kids and The Cat will come back to help the family. By the way, I think I know why Audrey Geisel forbidden any future live action movies on Ted’s work because in the live action Cat In The Hat movie with all the subplots, the adult humor and the rip off the Austin Powers movie series. You can tell that they are running out of ideas for future live action Dr. Seuss adaptations. The Live Action Cat In The Hat movie was a good way to end the live action Dr. Seuss adaptations. Or is it? But who knows when they are going to do another live action Dr. Seuss adaptation. When The Cat In The Hat Comes Back Live Action Remake dose come down the line in the movie making business I bet they will bring back the 2003 cast and do a better job than they did with the first movie. It's been a very long time since the 2003 movie was released and it's about time they would do a sequel. When the live action Cat In The Hat movie get's it's 20th anniversary in 2023 then The Cat In The Hat Comes Back Live Action Remake will happen. I made a petition on Change.org about the idea if you want to take a look. chng.it/nrndd8gy

    @@Malkmusianful * _coNical_ hat Also I read '........ Mulberry Street' and 'If I Ran the Zoo' when I was little, and, now that I'm older, I can confidently say that I am undeniably not a racist. The only feeling I remember having about the "racist" characters in question was my admiration that they were able to carry such a large fictional animal on their heads or run with wooden Geta (下駄) shoes while simultaneously eating with chopsticks. Of course reality and the laws of physics don't apply as much in the world of Dr. Seuss. Even as a child, I understood that a Dr. Seuss book, a cartoon, or anything of that nature was a fantastical depiction of the writers' and illustrators' imaginations, and nothing more. I knew the more human-looking characters do not represent or try to represent anyone I might see on the street. They don't even look totally human (I'm thinking of the Whoos in Whoovile for example). My focus was most likely on everything else on the colorful pages. Stereotypes exist for a reason (i.e. they stem from reality, but are usually extrapolated or exaggerated, usually for comedic purposes) and they are not _always_ injurious; not to mention every race on the planet has its own customs and dress, about which it is completely acceptable to poke fun every now and then, in my opinion. It's ultimately up to parents what they read to their children, and up to anyone older who decides to read Dr. Seuss, or anything else that is even widely considered dated/obsolete, taboo, offensive, or just questionable (or not), to form an understanding of why that may be. I fully disagree with "retiring" these books from print or banning them from platforms & services, as opposed to perhaps either tastefully altering / removing the controversial illustrations, printing them much less often, attaching a disclaimer, or something else. I also don't understand why the word "discontinue" isn't used here. For historical & educational purposes alone, these books and others that might be considered outmoded or repugnant should be protected and treasured for everything *else* they have to offer. Theodore Seuss Geisel was a man who lived in a _very_ different zeitgeist than the one in which we now live (1904-'91 vs. 2021-) and had held (specifically anti-asiatic) views; obviously beyond-the-pale (although understandable for the place and time period). Fortunately that completely changed. This is evidenced by the fact that he had the line in '........ Mulberry Street' changed from "A Chinaman that eats with sticks" to "a Chinese man . . . ." (also "Chinese boy . . . ." in some printings). The character's skin color changed from yellow to paper-white (like most of the other more human-looking characters). He also wrote 'Come over to My House' (illustrated by Richard Erdoes; 1966), and The Sneetches and Other Stories (org. published in 1953) - arguably the greatest (properly) anti-racist story about tolerance and acceptance of all time. According to Wikipedia, he was also "a liberal, [democrat], and moralist who expressed [the] views in his books through the use of ridicule, satire, wordplay, nonsense words, and wild drawings to take aim at bullies, hypocrites, and demagogues". He used his book 'Horton Hears a Who!' (1954) as an allegory for the American post-war occupation of Japan, and dedicated it to a Japanese friend; a far cry from his anterior support of the internment of Japanese-Americans during W.W.II "in order to prevent sabotage". As problematic as his life story and changed political views are to modern ears, it is arguably inspiring, in that he formed a much better understanding of the human condition and the fundamental insignificance of immutable differences among us. I believe people these days NEED to understand (and appreciate) historical figures, from their most commendable stances and laudable successes to their most shameful debacles. Understand history, through its evils and its triumphs and everything else. Take the good with the bad.

    Dr Seuss Enterprises stopped printing those 6 books because of pressure from a paid book subscription service called The Conscious Kid. It's run by a married couple named Katie Ishizuka and Ramon Stephens. They released two studies in 2017 and 2019 saying Seuss books are racist. Spread the word.
