Although Theodor Seuss Geisel puts two of his favorite characters together here, this children's comedy isn't as good or funny as the original stories by themselves. "The Grinch that stole Christmas" of 1966 is something of a classic, and "The Cat in the Hat" is another favorite.
Still, this is animated fun that the whole family should still enjoy - these decades after Dr. Seuss first appeared.
