Ovos Verdes e Presuntos

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+

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.

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!

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!

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 :)))
