HITLER TURTLE.

That is all. XD

[senseidryan]

John Lithgow was the perfect person to narrate this story, honestly all I can think of is Lord Farquad whenever I hear him speak Yertle's lines!

[thiswebsitehatesme]

@senseidryan i can't believe i didn't realize that it was farquad until you said it.

Yertle the Turtle: the story of how a dictator was overthrown by the lower class.

[GeeLyria]

Dr. Suess is the best<3 It's amazing how he can give such a real message through an Allegory.

[msamyg7]

After reading to my second grade class, years ago, I realized the absolute brilliance of Dr. Seuss! What was I trying to teach my students? Lots of things, but the lesson was explaining the word GREED. Today, I see yertle as 1%, the rest of us the stack, the poorest kids in schools, Mack. Taking money from public edu action is wrong!

[ZoloftSmoothie]

Yertle the Turtle.. possibly the best book ever written on the subject of turtle stacking

[42whatelse]

Because he wrote an tale of the lesson about been a good leather is been true to yourself as a great leader instead of using Facism. But as a great leader as a good kings, and good president. You should not be order to be more then one who is jealous to be the best in life. You will be remain humble; to remain a humble ruler. Don'r be like of the bad leathers in history!

[Meowwearecats]

I love how this is about Hitler,

[aan3]

Hitler, King Leopold in the Congo, European colonialism around the world and don't forget George W. Bush. The Tower of Babel comes to mind.

[madisonartteacher]

Yertle is Scott Walker, Wall Street, ALEC members, Koch Bros and the GOP.

Mac is the rest of us.

I am the 99%.

[mongproductions1]

I actually knew from after reading the story I knew Yertle was based of Hitler.

[ujump411]

I studied this in my 8th grade Social Studies class, and my teacher compared Yertle to Hitler. That was a "fun" day.

[Meowwearecats]

@ujump411 Because he wrote this about Hitler, rofl.

[NaiTaiDai]

Mack took Yertle's place.

[Wesrackley68]

[juliekotulak]

I love that the Red Hot Chili Peppers took this and made it a really awesome song that they still play at concerts. They gave Yertle funk!

[StephanieLisaTara]

fascinating yertle comments........all of dr suess is such a brilliant expression of society on myriad levels....its why he is so adored, revered, remembered!

[Alakazham3]

THAT WAS THE WEAKEST BURP IN THE U N I V E R S E!!!!

[RHCPnewsingles]

ON A FAR AWAY ISLAND!

[communistfun]

yertle is trying to take away my social security, medicaire, medicaid, benefits, union rights, keep me enslaved to corporations, kill my friends with his military, lock me up and call me a terrorist or a dope fiend, or a some other criminal thing, brainwash my everybody with his stupid commericials underfunded and soon to be chartered school system, lock up people in general to scare scare , divide and submiss us etc... just wondering, WTF IS YERTLE'S PROBLEM?

[0lAllan]

If you analyze Dr. Seuss archetypically you’ll find the stories are rather brilliant political and social commentaries (check my comment below for details).

[0lAllan]

I’ve heard the Hitler comparison but Yertle could be seen as any tyrannical ruler(s). Driven mad by power and wanting, leaders throughout history have built empires which ultimately fell. The “powers that be” place too much pressure on the foundation and too much emphasis on their administrative position. Two clichés often come to mind when I think of Yertle the Turtle, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” and “the oppressed often become the oppressor”. Will people ever learn?

[gooddaver]

Works for Steven Harper too.

[duazido]

Love, love, love this!

[TheUbinator]

Yerthe the turtle seems more like Stalin to me. But anyway, he would probably just shoot all the turtles dead and stand on their corpses.

(hope no kids are reading this.)

[PakezSystematicWrath]

John Lithgow has such a great voice!

[MrRuneball]

Dr. Seuss wrote this story basing Yertle the Turtle off of Hitler.

Can you tell?

[YAKICable]

Yertle has SUCH an ego problem

[skateiwill]

dude these are so awesome!!!!!!!!! u r awesome

[MLK010]

I use to watch this over and over again as a little kid

[theeaglesfan005]

my favorite Dr. Seuss story. :)

[dude16aws]

@theeaglesfan005 Yeah until you find out its secretley about hitler

[Dilo22]

@dude16aws lol is it?

[Dilo22]

@dude16aws actually yeah now I can see the juxtapositioning

[MrCranbarry3]

@dude16aws Almost all of Dr. Seuss' stories have that sort of meaning. The Battle of Butter was about the Cold War. Horton Hears a Who was about the bombing on Hiroshima.

[Turbo5Turtle]

@MrCranbarry3 and this ones about Human Rights!!! good point mate\....

[StarrSoccer]

cute
