Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Great for a family movie night and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up. A good follow-up to Lady and the Tramp.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: Bright and bouncy, at 24 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The Hoober-Bloob Highway is an animated musical special written by Dr. Seuss. Visit the magical island where Mr. Hoober-Bloob sends babies to Earth in his own musical way.
