Yertle The Turtle - Andrae Crouch - from "In Search of Dr. Seuss"

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

“If we don’t move faster than turtles we won’t ever see VICTORY” - Dr Seuss

[@lucasclement9368]

Today's version: If we don't move/act faster than turtles we will not have a bright future.

[@allyesine9458]

My childhood in five minutes. This movie literally influenced my entire personality

[@BokanProductions]

What's your personality?

[@sleeperagent2594]

Me

[@thatoneguy609]

It's been so many years since I last watched this movie (I was like a kid at the time) yet this song never left my head.

[@Bdawg9891]

Andrae Crouch - RIP

[@tuckerhawkey9561]

Who?

[@CouchSpud91]

This music video is from In Search of Dr. Seuss, a stylized biography on one of (If not THE) world's greatest writers of children books using his own characters to explain his life's story. It's also great as a history lesson, since much of his work and life is strongly influenced by the world he grew up in. The DVD version is available on Amazon for less than $12, and I highly recommend buying it.

[@ActivistVictor]

1:53 Yertle, you are NOT the world's highest turtle, that honor goes to Michelangelo from the teenage mutant ninja turtles. i mean just listen to him in the old cartoon, he's a total pothead

[@SgtScorpious]

ROFL

[@Hyraethian]

This just came out of no where from the depths of my memories today and I had to know it was real. Now I don't know how I ever forgot.

[@irenetse5418]

I never get tired of watching and listening to Minister Andrae ,Sandra Crouch and the wonderful singers

[@ryanlusby7803]

It's a combination of Gospel and Disco.

[@301aaliyah]

This is my childhood, I would listen to this on repeat as a kid❤️❤️

[@jodi2847]

This special ran on TNT in the mid-90s and is fantastic. Seek out and buy the DVD. Your kids will love it. Among its many celebrity cameos is Robin Williams doing some hilarious improv as he reads Cat in the Hat.

[@unpopularopinions7407]

3:06 god i love this guy’s voice

[@oztippetarius]

Same

[@irenetse5418]

Great creativity Very beautiful.woow!!! How can we forget all these Performances. Well done Minister Andrae Crouch.

[@christophercervantes5753]

The song has numerous meanings to it!!

[@nickbreazeale5610]

there's nothin', no nothin', thats higher than me!

[@ActivistVictor]

sounds like something snoop dogg would say lol

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

One of my favorite songs from this show. As I recall long ago it played on Cartoon Network.

[@kevp9601]

I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE THIS CATCHY DR SEUSS VILLAIN SONG SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! :-D

[@GabyGibson]

My family loves Dr. Seuss. We always watch this on his birthday

[@mrf19741]

I still remember watching this when it debuted with my Family. We all Loved it!

[@ItsYaGirlAvacado]

AHHHH THE MEMORIESSSS I used to absolutely love this song and it's still stuck in my head. I searched for the DVD again today but I was unsuccessful in my search. However, I did find "The Wubulous World Of Dr. Suess"... I was a weird youth XD

[@Luna-zr9wd]

It was a behind the scenes feature!!! At least in my wubulous world of dr.suess and or bts to Horton hears a who either one

[@ThatGuyWalkingBy]

Which season of that show did you prefer? Seasons 1 or 2?

[@ItsYaGirlAvacado]

@@Luna-zr9wd Ohh!! That may have explained where I must have heard it from! :) Either way, still glad to see people are remembering this childhood classic.

[@ItsYaGirlAvacado]

@@ThatGuyWalkingBy I’ll be completely honest with you, I don’t really remember enough to pick a favorite. The disc I had was a mix of both seasons! It was the teal-blue one. :) But Big Bass Thumper Bumper was my favorite song.

[@Kyeju]

I have been searching for this, I kid you not, for twenty five years. The splinter is gone from my mind.

[@michaeldayao1512]

a classic banger

[@oztippetarius]

Watched this as a kid, it still slaps

[@MysticStranger]

This was my favorite number from the whole movie! So good to see this after so many years.

[@joshuapritchett6259]

I think their harmony is pretty good.

[@jakemanzi1203]

I am currently playing Yertel in Seussical Jr and tonight was our opening night! I LOVE THIS!

[@irenetse5418]

Eiii Minister Sandra Crouch Just noticed you singing Great cantata. We trust you are keeping well. Remain blessed

Freedom!!!!

[@thealterist9762]

Maybe all creatures should be free including humans.

[@semiposer6111]

Dem pucking right

[@pf3820]

This is my favorite song

[@WillScarlet16]

I'm going to read Yertle the Turtle to my class on Dr. Seuss' birthday, and I plan to use Donald Trump's voice for Yertle. I think the Dr. would approve.

[@noahmizen7001]

Seuss claims that Yertle is based off of napoleon or Mr Hitler

[@k8g8s8]

Very fitting.

[@jodi2847]

So...you're going to engage in the same propaganda that Goebbels did? Nice.

[@WillScarlet16]

​@@jodi2847 Clearly you don't know a thing about Dr. Seuss. If that's propaganda, so are The Lorax and The Sneetches.

[@WillScarlet16]

@@jodi2847 Also, your comparison couldn't be more ridiculous - Goebbels used propaganda to attack powerless people. Using humor to attack the powerful and corrupt is just plain old American free speech, as Dr. Seuss or any other great humorist would tell you.

[@BokanProductions]

I'd love to see more Dr. Seuss books be turned into music videos or at least read by singing instead of reading.

[@nickgray8536]

In search of Dr. Seuss will be on Cartoon Network in 2001 as a cartoon network special presentation version

[@TheAutumnBlossom]

This is cinemaaaaa!!

[@micahmm.4076]

Hallelujah!!!

[@ninjajack6457]

This movie felt like a drug trip as a kid

[@micahmm.4076]

AMEN 🙏🏾

[@coreypeters4170]

3:22, Burp!

[@SudokuBro]

I can't find the movie anywhere on the internet! :,(

[@SudokuBro]

Never mind!

[@301aaliyah]

Yeah I had the dvd that's the only reason I watched it

[@thefrigolifam6307]

lol I was gonna say

[@brianodonnell9571]

Didn't Know Yertle Was A Villain?

[@linuxlover55]

Yertle was Seuss' characterization of Hitler.

[@brianodonnell9571]

+Jay Nelsestuen Yertle Was Only An Antagonist, Like From "The Wubbulous World Of Dr. Seuss"!

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

Brian O'Donnell in Seussical Yertle is a judge so I don’t think he’s always a villain

[@SomeOne-vv7sf]

Exactly as jay nelsestuen said

[@matthewolf4]

First Full Moon of 2020 vibe where are we at?!?@?

[@garveyneal1672]

that's pretty gospel even for dr. seuss himself

[@DW4Ever91]

Em, Okay I'm Just Gonna Come Out and Say it, THEY DON"T LOOK LIKE TURTLES! I Don't Know What They Look Like, But They're NOT TURTLES! They Look More Like Snow Cones with Faces Or Something. WTF? Oh Well Still an Awesome Song Though.

[@filetofsole1]

Yeah I Know, The Costumes are Weird, But ya Gotta Love That Totimo Jive Beat!

[@janeyrevanescence12]

Seeing as it's a tribute to Dr. Seuss...

[@brianodonnell9571]

And This Is Will Be A Honor of Dr. Seuss" "Yertle the Turtle(When It Has It's Other Stories, "Gertrude McFuzz" & "The Big Brag", Then at Random House Home Video's "Dr. Seuss Video Classics"! Even at The Show From Jim Henson, "The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss", He Was Showned as The Antagonist, Then Removed From His Own Story!

[@theeviloverlord6812]

Dr Seuss was of the opinion that most adults take life much to seriously. You are one of those people.

[@brianodonnell9571]

TheEvilOverLord Well, He Had Beginner Book Videos From Random House Home Video!

[@micahmm.4076]

Thanks you Jesus 🙏🏾

[@cloverus9217]

this song radicalized me at age 9

[@noahmizen7001]

Competition who is a better writer with better fame in the afterlife Dr Seuss where all of his books are read by all children from across the globe, Terrible films And a Broadway style musical And toys Or Roald Dahl Whose books are loved by Americans and British people alike Musicals for almost all of his books And movies mostly made by Disney

[@omarkillum8280]

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

[@carlwhitted538]

Sad this can be related to Trump so easily...very sad.

[@SomeOne-vv7sf]

Carl Whitted actually It was made to represent Hitler you idiot

[@m.xdmcbangalter3653]

You're reaching and you're reaching hard my friend. Dr. Seuss made this as a representation of Hitler (An actual tyrant) Not Donald Trump (A man who can't keep his mouth shut). See the difference? This represents Hitler a lot more than it does Trump.

[@fjccommish]

No, actually it relates to Nancy, Chuck, and other leftists like Obama and Hillary. Nice try, loser. Trump "We will follow the law." Nancy Pelosi "I am co-equal to the President!" aka "How dare something try to be higher than me."

[@jodi2847]

Ironically believes this because of Nazi-esque propaganda spread by leftists, nothing to do with reality....sadder.

[@megamike15]

i'm glad trump is out of office so i don't gotta deal with this anymore.

[@frankcabanski9409]

Why is Mac, a HE turtle, played by a woman?

[@oztippetarius]

The comment section was great until this
