I LOVE this book by Dr. Seuss. I saw the preview for the movie and I thought, “UGH! Once again Hollywood has taken a great childhood story and RUINED it with some abstract interpretation.” That is really the clean version of what my first thought was. Gotta keep this a family friendly blog!
I vowed that I wasn’t going to see it at all because I was convinced that they had taken a great story and ruined it. But of course I couldn’t stick with that once my boys, Landon age 6 and Nicolas age 3 saw the same ad and started jumping up and down yelling that they wanted to see it. So, reluctantly, I took them to the movie.
I figured at least I might get a nap. Well I was beyond delighted to find that they took the story and didn’t ruin it at all. They took it in the right direction. I think that Dr. Seuss would be proud of what they put up on the screen. The best part wasn’t how I felt about it but seeing the twinkle in my boys eyes as they watched the magic on the screen. They loved every minute of it. So I would say definitely bring your kids to this movie. They will love it and you will like it as well!
