this movie is a trip i saw it on TCM the other night and i was blown away.

too bad they don't make seuss movies like this anymore. so far in recent years hollywood has destroyed the grinch, desecrated and absolutely fucked beyond all possible recognition the cat in the hat (mike meyers should go to hell for that), and turned horton hears a who into a voice recognition game packed with as many celebrety voices as possible but no imagination or wonder.

The kids that were 8 years old when they watched this film would all later drop acid during the summer of 1967. This is not a coincidence.

I saw this movie on TCM a few years back and I wonder why it isn't considered a classic like The Wizard of Oz. This movie is awesome!
