Green Eggs and Ham

Green Eggs and Ham is a classic book from Dr. Seuss, one of the greatest children's book writers to ever live. When I first saw the trailer for this, I was skeptical, as Dr. Seuss' works has had a long reputation of having a mixed-to-negative reception since the 2000's (especially with the horrible live-action Cat In The Hat movie that basically was so bad and filled with a lot of kid-unfriendly content, that Dr. Seuss' widow banned any more live action films, hence why starting with Horton Hears A Who, they have been strictly computer animated).

This new cartoon (exclusive to Netflix) basically takes the book and makes it fresh. In this, Sam-I-Am breaks a Chickeraffe out of the zoo with the intention of bringing it back into its habitat. However, he gets his suitcase mixed up with failed inventor Guy-I-Am (who is the guy Sam harasses in the original book), and the two are on the run, as a greedy businessman named wants the Chickeraffe as a trophy, and has hired two bounty hunters to hunt the duo down.

Yeah, this is a different plot than the book's plot of Sam harassing Guy to eat the title meal until he breaks and does it, although it is still squeezed in, with each episode being based on a part of the book where Guy will not eat them in. Also, the series is written well, and the new characters add to Sam and Guy's adventure.

I never expected myself to be sucked in by a Netflix show based off of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham, but for whatever reason the show-runners committed hard to this premise. It's definitely directed towards kids, but the execution is nothing short of brilliant. The animation is beautiful, it has tons of really clever sight-gags and jokes, even if some of them don't land, you barely notice because the show runs at such a brisk pace. I don't know, but everything about the show felt very genuine and sweet, and it's nice to see a Seuss adaptation that's not completely awful.

I was utterly surprised!

Not only was the animation magnificent. Even though they made it a full narrative, they still kept the overall spirit of both the book and Dr. Seuss in general. The writing was intelligent and could appeal to both kids and adults. They also really had great themes of friendship, making amends, and doing what you want.

A+

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 :)))

At first look, "Green Eggs and Ham" looks like the kind of show who would only appeal to a little kid. But oh boy, you are wrong. At least I was. The trailer was pretty convincing. Most of the jokes were funny and the style of animation was amazing. But once I saw the full show, I was gaged.

"Green Eggs and Ham" is a show for all ages. It's a family friendly show because the jokes are easy to understand, and the animation is colorful. The characters are cute and they never say anything that would be inappropriate for a kid. So you can watch this with kids.

But this show is not just for kids. Here are the reasons why you as an adult can enjoy "Green Eggs and Ham"

1-The world building in this show is extensive and awesome, every single location feels so different than the last one and the amount of detail is just perfect. It's easy to believe that this world is real even though a lot of things are so cartoony. But if you let yourself be wrapped up in this universe you would enjoy it

2-The twists: This is something that you might not expect but this is a show full of twists and a lot of them will catch you off guard. Let yourself be surprised for the awesome writing in the show.

3-And I save the best for last. First, the main characters represent in some way the targets audience. Guy is totally the adults of the show who are grown up and don't seem open to new things, and Sam are the kids who are full of energy and optimistic.

And the other thing about the characters is that they are deep. Like every single character of this show has a reason to act the way they act, even the villain. They have a backstory and real emotions about their past. It is so rewarding the viewers.

So it doesn't matter your age, this show is totally for you if you are into comedy and animation.
