I wish they would make more dr.Seuss content. Like the green eggs and ham on netflix

[@matthewwilliams5447]

They said they were making a new season. Wonder when they will.

[@mightyfilm]

Green Eggs and Ham I found far superior to ANY of the theatrical Dr. Seuss movies. Maybe because the episodic medium gives the story more time to shine, maybe because the visual style for something on a TV show budget never shined brighter with such fluid, wonderful animation. But whatever it is, I attribute the success of the project by the simple fact that it should NOT have worked. There is no reason such a project should have been possible, plausible, or achievable. But not only did it work, it became a glorious project of nonsense and heart and pure joy that the movies just couldn't accomplish. Plus, Eddie Izzard plays essentially the same role he did in the forgettable bland and boring Abominable, only... you know... in a GOOD project. And as a straightforward villain instead of the clumsiest surprise villain twist in modern memory.

Kind off a bomb surprise you were doing a Cartoon Evolution on The Grinch, since In some of the other replies for the Charlie Brown videos you were taking a break on the Cartoon Evolution this month. I actually was expecting a Looney Tune (e.g. Taz), but since it's December and almost Christmas, It made sense you went with the Grinch (cause he's the only character other than Scrooge, Santa, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, etc. associated with Christmas). This is the first time you've done a Cartoon Evolution of a character originated from a literature book (in the case Dr. Seuss). Looking forward to the Grinch's voice evolution this week

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Lol I hope a “bomb surprise” is a good surprise. Though - FYI, I did announce this one about a month ago. Make sure to keep an eye on my community board and socials for regular announcements. Not sure I ever said I was taking a break from Evolutions in December - but certainly am in January. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@EChacon]

@@DaveLeeDownUnder No worries, any surprise, or as I said "bomb surprise" is a welcoming surprise.😉 It didn't occur to me until you mentioned this right now you also make Cartoon Evolution announcements via the KZbin Community since, since I thought that was just ONLY meant for exclusive members who have Patreon. But thanks for the reminder so I can keep an eye out on what's coming up, even though you won't make a Cartoon Evolution video until February 2021. Outside of The Grinch, you think you might cover other Dr. Seuss characters (e.g. The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, etc.) in future Cartoon Evolution shorts videos at a later point?

Hey Dave. For the Cartoon Evolution this December, I have an idea who you can do. I was thinking about Christmas characters who has a decent sized evolution and I decided on one of my favorite Christmas characters, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. From what I learned from messing around on Wikipedia, Rudolph himself has been around for about 60 to 70 years and has gone through at least a decent evolution from I believe book to TV. Also, the 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Christmas special is one of my Christmas movies of all time. This is just an idea not a request.

The Meanest one this Holiday Season is still the very best! Chuck Jones version will always be a classic, Jim Carrey will make us laugh and the recent CG was...' Safe' we'll say.

You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch. Best villian song ever! One of my kids' middle school teachers, who once work on special effects for Hollywood films, was the test subject for the Grinch make up used in Ron Howard's version. The stage production of the story was originally presented at The Old Globe Theater here in San Diego. Besides the book, which I was introduced to at story time in my second grade class, my favorite version is the animated TV special.💚💚💚💚

I’m sitting here early in the video hoping that the iterations of The Grinch musical BEFORE the Matthew Morrison-starring televised one were also considered. I found several KZbin videos of it, and while I haven’t watched them I’m sure the Grinch costume for the musical hasn’t always looked like the one we got on TV

[@katiesherman6517]

I grew up with a Grinch doll, that I still own, though it is tucked away in the attic. I watched the Jim Carry interpretation so many times I could quote the entire movie by heart. Coming from a religious family, and being Christian myself, I have never once cared about the under tones (or blatant showing in the newest movie), but even so, I don't really see as that at all anyways. It's more of a message about caring for others and being kind to one another. It's honestly, as mentioned in the video, more anti-commercial it anything. But to answer the question posed at the end of the video, I honestly can't deny that I love the Live action version. I love that in the newest one and this one they develop the Grinch's skills (the stealing Christmas scenes are always my favorite, because they show off how smart and skilled he is!) and yet they also develop him more deeply as a character. He's no longer just a menacing figure, he is a character with emotions and motives and that is amazing!

It's fascinating that Chuck Jones and Dr. Seuss were good friends. No wonder a lot of Looney Tunes alumni worked on animated adaptations of Seuss' stories. Speaking of which, my favorite version of the Grinch is, of course, the 1966 TV special. As for the other incarnations, the book is wonderfully told and illustrated, the live-action film has its pros and cons, and the other two Grinch cartoons are okay at best. I haven't seen "Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss" in ages, and I've yet to see the Illumination film and that new stage show, so I've nothing to say about them.
