Adventure for all
MATTHEW FIELD
In 2003, the world was cursed
forever with the unholy
nightmare-fuel that was Mike
M e ye r ’s live-action adaptation
of Cat in the Hat.
Now in 2019, Netflix seeks
to redeem the sullied name of
Doctor Seuss films with their
new animated series, this time
based on Green Eggs and Ham.
Now by all rights, this series
should not work.
The source material is a 64-
page children’s story by possibly
the greatest nonsense-rhymer
e ve r.
The plot is reminiscent of
1987 comedy Planes, Trains and
Automobiles with Michael
Douglas’ curmudgeonly Guy
Am I filling in for Steve Martin’s
Neal Page and Adam DeVine’s
over-excited Sam I Am taking
over from John Candy’s Del
Griffith.
While the titular food does
make occasional appearances,
the main story is more focused
on Guy and Sam’s attempts to
return a baby chickaraffe to its
rightful home after Sam rescues
it from a zoo.
The duo go through the
expected character beats – Guy
learns to be less of an uptight
jerk and Sam learns to take
things a bit more seriously – but
the addition of Seuss’s
trademark zany randomness
help keep things fresh.
Though the series is meant
for children, there is certainly
enough charm and clever jokes
to give adults something to
enjoy as well.
