The cartoon isn't completely faithful to the book, but it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170840067716 Sun, 23 Jan 2005 20:58:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170840067716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_169583087236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author raymondv - Green Eggs and Ham is a cherished childhood memory. I remember how enchanted I was by the character of Sam-I-Am with his cheerful enthusiasm in promoting the virtues of this delicacy.

I remember how I savored reading Horton Hatches the Egg. Like Seuss&#146s works, this book... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169457716868 Thu, 13 Jan 2005 01:18:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169457716868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165599088260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author raymondv - If only the live-action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas had failed at the box office. Then the suits at Universal wouldn't bother making this abomination. But alas they did. Apparently they figured that all the aspects that made... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165599088260 Wed, 15 Dec 2004 22:37:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165599088260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_122391793284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author raymondv - Those who have read my review of the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas already know that like most Americans, I loved Dr. Seuss as a child.

I have pointed out in my review of the animated television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas that the live-action remake was not only atrocious but was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~121479728772 Wed, 10 Dec 2003 20:53:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_121479728772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120932044420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author raymondv - Growing up in the 1970s and early 1980s, I enjoyed the flood of Christmas TV specials during the holiday season.

Growing up, I only knew about Dr. Seuss's original book How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the delightful half-hour animated adaptation. By the time Universal released this wretched live-action version, I was thirty.

MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL was one of my first exposures to Charles Dickens's renowned Christmas tale. (Another one was a coloring book if I recall.) Through holiday TV viewings as a child in the 1970s (the special originally... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~119206874756 Thu, 20 Nov 2003 00:11:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_119206874756?linkin_id=8003929
