Dr. Seuss Horton Hatches the Egg If I Ran the Circus

Buy This Item Dr. Seuss Horton Hatches the Egg If I Ran the Circus by Random House Home Video  Available from Amazon  $7.98  on 9-22-2008     Billy Crystal has fun with this beloved tale of Horton the empathetic elephant who sees a need--in this case an egg that needs some sitting on--and does whatever it takes to fill it. He gives Horton's voice an earnest goofball quality and errant mother bird Mayzie a loopy Southern belle accent. While Horton may be the embodiment of the Golden Rule, Morris McGurkus of <I>If I Ran the Circus</I>, the second story on this 30-minute tape, is a classic Seuss daydreamer. Sitting behind the local store, he envisions a fantastic Circus McGurkus, complete with horn-tooting apes with two or three tongues, wink-hooded hoodwinks, and storeowner Sneelock pipe-smoking his way through a series of daredevil performances. Both stories feature illustrations from the books with some minor animation added. <I>--Kimberly Heinrichs</I> Reader Reviews My favorite childhood story with a great catch line.... "I meant what I said and I said what I meant"... great phrase to live by!!!! Horton Hatches the Egg is wonderful!!!!
