Green Eggs and Ham

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 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+

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.

It may look likes its for kids but peole of all ages can enjoy! Excellent story with lots of interesting twists and an emotional roller coaster that is on par with Pixar movies!
