Daisy-Head Mayzie (1995 TV Movie)
8/10
An endearing animation that is true to the style of Dr Seuss' book illustrations

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this animation, which is on 'The Best of Dr Seuss' DVD alongside 'Horton Hatches the Egg' and 'Butter Battle Book' (both of which are not quite as good as this one). The DVD itself was in a quad-pack with 'Laura's Star,' 'The Powerpuff Girls Movie' and 'The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot.'

The animation is smooth, vibrant and true to the style of the illustrations in Dr Seuss, books while the rhyming narrative was true to the text in the books. The musical score had some fantastical charm and the Cat in the Hat narrating the story was a pleasant surprise. Mayzie is an adorable, endearing character who I deeply sympathise with because other classmates tease her fro the daisy sprouting from her head and she gets upset about nobody loving her until the daisy does the 'loves me, loves me not' tradition.

Overall this is an endearing work of animation and definitely the best of the 'Best of Dr Seuss' DVD. 8/10.
