This "puppetoon" is what got me into Dr. Seuss' second book for children, as someone who has four favorites from this author. I came across the short online on YouTube. But they took off, and then it came back, which made me glad.
For those who have read the original book, you may know that the story's about a boy named Bartholomew Cubbins, who, when he tried to take his hat off in front of the king, another mysteriously appeared. After Bartholomew is was brought to the castle, many people tried, in vain, to take the hat off of his head. In my opinion, it's still a fantastic cartoon, even though they omitted Sir Snipps, the royal hatter, the king's wise men, the king's haughty young nephew, the Grand Duke Wilfred, a fantastic bowman, and the court wizards. I was also unaware that it was an Academy Award nominee. You know, I also would like to see another puppetoon adapted from another Dr. Seuss book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street."
