Green Eggs and Ham

It may look likes its for kids but peole of all ages can enjoy! Excellent story with lots of interesting twists and an emotional roller coaster that is on par with Pixar movies!

I went into Green Eggs and Ham because IT.WAS.EVERYWHERE. Everyone said it's really good and eventually I gave in because it looked like something I might like. Even tho I came in with not many expectations, I left very satisfied and happy. I loved the show.

This series has absolutely gorgeous visuals. The animation is unique and high quality. I like how wacky and cute it looks. All the facial expressions and over-exaggerated movements really brought the world to life. The character designs were something I got used to. Don't get me wrong, they are super adorable but not really my taste (never really been a fan of Dr.Seuss' work). The world was very interesting too. I like how they just went with all the cartoon logic machines and weird creatures.

Good voice acting makes good characters. You can really tell that the actors were giving their all to the performance and they totally nailed it. All the characters had a distinguishable voice, speech pattern and vocabulary.

The story was enjoyable to follow. I really got sucked into it after the first episode. The foreshadowing and plot twists were great. They weren't too predictable and they made sense as they came. Every character was unique and fun in their own ways. I was rooting for pretty much everybody except Goat and Snerz

I hope this gets another season :)))

Based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same name, the movie takes the the book and keeps the overall framework intact while reimagining it as a Plains, Trains, and Automobiles type misadventure road story with grumpy inventor Guy (Michael Douglas) and energetic optimist Sam I Am (Adam Devine) being thrown together by circumstance and embarking on a cross country journey involving all manner of complications and characters related directly or indirectly to a creature called a Chickeraffe.

Dr. Seuss has had a rough path in terms of adaptations. While some adaptations like the Chuck Jones How the Grinch Stole Christmas or Friz Freeling Lorax are well respected one off TV specials, other adaptations range from passable to outright disastrous. Green Eggs and Ham is not the first attempt at adapting Seuss for a TV series, but it's easily the most successful. Filled with beautiful animation, imaginative designs that feel true to the Seussian source material, and terrific voice acting from not only our two leads but also from an eclectic group of voice talent including Diane Keaton, Ilana Glazer, Tracy Morgan, and Eddie Izzard to name a few. The show is incredibly clever and can be enjoyed by both children and their parents, but doesn't have feel the need to cram in out of place dirty humor as was seen in The Grinch or Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat. This is a very fine family friendly show that gets by on its creativity, imagination, and genuine likability. Highly recommended!

Green Eggs and Ham is a classic book from Dr. Seuss, one of the most beloved children's book writers ever. First published in 1960, the book has sold over 8 million copies and has now been adapted by Warner Bros. Animation into an animated series for Netflix. It became the most expensive animated program to make, with each episode costing five to six million dollars. But more money doesn't necessarily make it better. Luckily for this series, it did.

As told by narrator Keegan-Michael Key, he introduces us to Sam-I-Am (Adam Devine) who rescues the rare Chickeraffe from a zoo and intends to return it to its natural habitat. After he accidentally swaps his briefcase, containing the Chickeraffe, for that of failed inventor Guy-Am-I (Michael Douglas), Sam and Guy end up on an adventure with EB (Ilana Glazer), a girl who wants to adopt the Chickeraffe as a pet, and EB's overprotective mother Michellee (Diane Keaton), who can't deny the romantic chemistry growing between herself and Guy. The four are unknowingly pursued by Snerz (Eddie Izzard), a poacher who wants to claim the Chickeraffe as a trophy, and his employees, minions McWinkle (Jeffrey Wright) and Gluntz (Jillian Bell) and the bounty hunter Goat (John Turturro).

Produced by Ellen Degeneres' production company, A Very Good Production, each episode title is a place mentioned in the book where Sam-I-Am offered Guy-Am-I to try the titular dish. True to the book, Guy refuses to do so, saying he will not eat them in said location (ie. Train, Car, House, in the Dark, etc). We travel with our two main characters through inventive landscapes that not only rock kids' worlds, but also adults'. Creator Jared Stern (writer of 'The Lego Batman Movie'), infused the timeless tale with modern jokes and pop culture references that would fly right over kids' heads, such as an escape out of prison just like 'Shawshank Redemption' - dialogue and everything. Enjoyable as it blends the well known writing of Dr. Seuss with a more contemporary style of writing to connect with a younger generation that's new to Dr. Seuss' story. Adults who grew up watching 'Matilda' (written by another children's book author - Roald Dahl), might even recognise David Newman's score, as it has a lot of similarities with his work on that particular film.

The wonderful storybook 2D-animation works well with the more modern 3D-animation, but it's the voice cast, and in particular Adam Devine, who work magic with the source material that has truly been elevated. Devine, who's known for his more adult humour in 'Workaholics', brings a certain charm to Sam-I-Am, overly excited by everything that happens around him and totally obsessed with Green Eggs and Ham. But it's the heart and story behind his love for the dish that will hit home to many of us.

Each episode dives even deeper into subjects such as, deception, love, friendship, success and dreams. With such a vividly colourful world on your screen, you can't help but let your eyes drift away from what's right in front of you, and explore what's in the background. Some episodes will interest you more than others, in my case the "Box" and "Goat" episode didn't really work entirely, although they are part of the bigger picture and there's never really any filler episodes to get to the final destination of these beloved characters.

Green Eggs and Ham is 13 episodes of fun for the entire family. Staying true to its source material, this series handles the beloved book with respect and gracefully modernises parts of the story, without letting go of its fantastical setting and unique characters.

Why hello there, internet passerby, Ive got something on which to feast your eye. A review of a particular Netflix show, In the style of Suess, let's see how this goes. I will try my best to keep it short and sweet But informative, helpful and a literary treat. And so wiith a finite number of words to cram, Lets talk about Netflix's Green Eggs and Ham.

First off the animation, the easiest to cover, As this show blends motion and color like no other. Every frame a drawing paying homage to Suess' art, While modernizing his style without losing the heart.

Now to the cast, and what can I say? The ensemble gathered here has blown me away. From Jeffery Wright's cop loke grumble throughout, To guest star voices that carry a lot of clout! John Turturro is memorable as the Goat, and Ms. Keaton's Michelee helps keep the show afloat.

But none of these stand out like our too leading men, Adam Devine and Michael Douglass are convincing best friends. Douglass gives his Guy a sense of maturity, While still reflecting goodness and virtue and purity. But Adam Devine really knocks it out of the part, with his happiness, hopefulness, and plenty of snark. To say that these two impressed me greatly, Is an understatement more than anything said lately.

The characters are where this story shines, which each and every one given a memorable line. From the smallest cameo to a series main, The characters of this story do well to entertain. But again at the heart of the entire thing, Are these two best friends to be, and the nuance they bring. Guy is a good guy, a guy without blame, While Sam is a nice guy, and those are not the same. We learn more about them as the show goes on, They have much, much MUCH more depth than they let on. I wont spoil these for you passers by, But know that theres more to then than meets the eye.

The story of the series is just what you'd expect, Wacky, zany, silly, as good as it gets. But as you reach the latter half of the season, You'll wanna keep watching, you'll have good reason. This show has a heart of gold at its center, With lessons and advice as to a student from a mentor. Some truly heart wrenching moments coupled with joy, Watching this makes you feel like a youthful boy.

The jokes are all great, some spoken, some visual, Some tongue in cheek, and some meant to be literal. But they all land, and they all are appropriate For both the kids who watch and the adults who go along with it. Anyone can watch this show, best believe it, If that wasn't the case, it wouldn't have been greenlit.

I believe I've gone over all my main points, But before I go I have for you one last joint. The books that spawned this show and many others, Were great because they were page turners from cover to cover. Not complex, not deep but very simplistic, With a heart and soul and an eye for the artistic. They were filled to the brim with color and joy, To appeal to any man, woman, girl or boy. Thus they've been passed down generation to generation, Those books have graced the hands of children in every nation. To bring that kind of childlike wonder, To a screen is a task worth taking under. So I give my props to all involved, including Ellen Degeneres, the producer above all. The cast and crew did a phenomenal job Of adapting and respecting Dr. Suess who started it all. And for recreating the love Dr Suess put in back then, In my book Green Eggs and Ham is a 10/10!
