Some people have criticized a joke in "Horton Hatches an Egg." A fish with Peter Lorre's face sees Horton sitting on an egg while crossing the ocean attached to a ship. The fish, in Peter Lorre's voice, says, "Now, I've seen everything.He then pulls out a gun and shoots himself. The gag is based on several other similar gags in other cartoons. The gag is funny if you know who Peter Lorre is (as most people watching the cartoon in the 1940s in a movie theater would). Lorre was know for the psychotic characters he often played. Children under 12 today would just find it bizarre and momentarily amusing and forget about it in two seconds. Apparently some parents are afraid their children are so stupid that they are going to somehow get a gun and imitate the fish. It would be a great shame if anybody follows these parents obsessions with protecting their children and do not get this DVD because of it. "Horton Hatches an Egg" has an incredibly beautiful message of self sacrifice and love for children ever shown in a cartoon. One has to adore Horton's fantastic slogan, "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful 100%." It is one of the great messages for children in any animated movie." I would recommend this DVD to any parent, "100%."

I bought this video to use in my 2nd grade classroom as we celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday. It has three cartoons and they are about 20 min each. I have a book and an activity, which go with each cartoon, so this DVD is perfect.

This is a great video to show a class if discussing Dr. Suess. Note that it is a little long so it may require to class periods to see the whole thing but it's really engaging.

Not included in "Hats off to Seuss" is "Horton Hatches the Egg," an exclusive Cartoon to this set, but the other two are, So one has to decide if the price is too far To pay for one episode, however perfect. I myself happened to find it was worth it. If Hats off to Seuss, which contains mostly all The specials from yesteryear isn't your call, You'll find two more episodes here. Take a look. It has Daisy-Head Mayzie and Butter Battle Book. Chuck Jones made "Mayzie" and "Horton," you know. The guy who's most famous for Buggs, Daffy, and co. While Ralph Bakshi made the original Lord of the Rings, Here "Butter Battle" is one of his things. Two cartoonists prestiged lend their talents to Seuss And I promise, none of these look like a deuce. They seem remastered, good fidelity. Without Universal's films of vulgarity No Jim Carrey here to yell, oh no no. No cats making out with a gardening hoe. No Paris Hilton to dance at a rave. Nothing to make Geisel roll in his grave Because he was there, supervising these films. Even if animators were at the helms So I promise you this, o worried parent Should you pass this up? I say no, I dare-n't

A classic for kids and adults alike. It comes with various episodes and a tiny bit of extras. My nephew loves it and so do i!
