#dr. seuss on the loose

[321spongebolt]

Now here's the classic version of Thing 5. I like I said before, his design is no different than Thing 1 and Thing 2, the only difference is he wears a black top hat and a dark blue pointed cape. He also carries a magic wand as part of his career as a magician. Thing 5 can turn himself into Bat-Thing by flipping his cape over his head and torso. After a few seconds, Thing 5 flips his cape back to reveal himself in a dark blue Batman mask and gauntlets. As Bat-Thing, Thing 5 can use his magic as superpowers like flying, levitating objects, hypnotizing victims with his pocketwatch, and other sorts of parlor tricks. Down below is my character's bio.

NAME

Thing 5

FRANCHISE

Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat"

BIO

Thing 5 is one of Thing 1 and Thing 2's relatives. He would've been responsible for bringing Cat to life with a magic trick he performed one night that allowed his cat to stand on two feet and talk. This origin may change depending on the releases of the upcoming Dr. Seuss Cinematic Universe movies, "The Cat in the Hat" and "Thing One and Thing Two" by Warner Animation Group (now addressed as Warner Bros. Pictures Animation)

PERSONALITY

Similar to The Cat in the Hat, Thing 5 is playful, witty, and mischievous, but good-natured.

Dr. Seuss on the Loose. Voices including Hans Conried (Captain Hook) and Paul Winchell (Dick Dastardly). You don’t say.

“The Zax,” as told by Captain Hook.

During Green Eggs and Ham, I couldn’t unexperience it as Dick Dastardly performing a puppet show for Muttley doing the voices for Private Meekley chasing Clyde of the Ant Hill Mob around trying to feed him highly experimental army GMOs.

whats ur opinion on dean elliot's scores for chuck jones's MGM shorts and the dr. seuss specials depatie-freleng made? i feel like he's an underrated composer and he needs more attention JUST how radically different his work was from eugene podanny (but still has charm)

IF NOTHING ELSE, his work is VERY amusing to me LOL. i actually haven't really paid attention to the Poddany scores that much to really fully differentiate between him and Elliot (Eugene Poddany is still the "he scored The Wearing of the Grin for some reason!" guy to me, i have a lot of revisiting to do in regards to Jones' T&J shorts).

i'm not really gung-ho on his music on the regular, but i am certainly fascinated by it. i always associate him with very '70s sounding choruses (which i am a bit nostalgic for, we'd watch Seuss on the Loose every year in elementary school for Dr. Seuss week and so songs like this and the flavor profile within are very nostalgic to me LOL) and i wholly admire the campiness for that reason. this is what i think of when i think of Dean Elliot, songs that sound like they play as radio jingles for Casey Kasem

AND, i will give him further credit, the only thing i can remember from A Connecticut Rabbit in King Arthur's Court besides the baffling decision to have Porky read a newspaper for about a minute straight--which is even excessive for me and i do not say that lightly--is the wah-wah guitars and disco-adjacent music stylings for... a 6th century jousting fight?

i'm moreso fascinated by his work than actually a fan/like it, but i genuinely admire the campiness

(ALSO if you’re on mobile and the timestamps don’t work, it’s 0:50 and 17:25 respectively)

For imagination_junkyard on ao3!

>> Context! <<

More Than a Few Loose Screws has brought me a stupid amount of joy this past year! It's been a lot of fun chatting with you in the comments. You seem like such a fun person and I wanted to doodle you a silly thing.

I based this critter off of Mira the Arctic Fox, who I peeped on your insta. >:3 Her body is striped like Mira's shirt and has a cloth-like texture, kinda making her like a plush toy. Her tail turns splits into feet in leggy-form, giving her this floofy, kinda Dr. Seuss-ish feet. Suits the overall accidental plush theme, I guess! I gave her a little Metal plush to torment. >u>

felix and tate @secrettyrant

Whenever Felix caught sight of the newcomer, Tate, the guy always looked adrift. Like someone dropped him in half way through a movie without a script. Not that Felix could claim to be any better. These days, everyone seemed a little unmoored, walking through the world as if waiting for something to make sense again. But there was something about Tate, the way he carried that lostness that always snagged Felix's attention.

Passing by a classroom, Felix caught him in the far corner, scratching at his head like he was trying to dig a thought loose. Not even pausing, Felix just leaned into the doorway, his eyes cutting across the room. There was nothing there...just the same peeling posters and overturned desks that made up the new normal. Whatever Tate was grappling with, it wasn't visible. "ABC's giving you some trouble?" Felix said, his voice dry despite a smirk twitching at the corner of his mouth. The words came easy, but his eyes stayed on Tate. "Might want to give the library a miss, then. I heard they have some Dr Seuss, real serious stuff."

Descriptions taken from Wikipedia.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) - Renaissance

A stop-motion animated film, produced and conceived by Tim Burton. 109,440 frames were taken in total. Originally started as a poem Burton wrote while working as an animator for Walt Disney Productions. It was initially released through Touchstone Pictures due to concerns it was "too dark and scary for kids," but has been reissued through Walt Disney Pictures. Catherine O'Hara voices Sally, and Paul Reubens voices Lock. Halloween Town was inspired by German Expressionism and Christmas Town by Dr. Seuss.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) - Renaissance

Loosely based on the novel, Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. Demi Moore voices Esmeralda, and Jason Alexander voices Hugo. (Side note: I'm excited to learn that Kevin Kline voiced Captain Phoebus here, but also Tulio from The Road to El Dorado, and Mr. Fischoeder in Bob's Burgers.) Claude Frollo was inspired by Ralph Fiennes' Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. It is currently the only Disney animated feature to have a major focus on religious faith. Many of the songs were adapted from Latin prayers.

Raging at the Wind: Contemporary Censors of Texts Created by Others

In the second paragraph of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” the narrator stops to play with the idea that although the phrase “dead as a doornail” is immediately and so broadly recognized that it borders on being cliché, and that he thinks “dead as a coffin nail” would be more fresh and accurate, he finishes by observing that “the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile, and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it” (Carol 1).

Well, this is the generation of those with “unhallowed hands.”  I have written before about my dismay concerning the decision to remove various books or illustrations by Dr. Seuss. Specifically “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street” which wonderfully portrays a child’s imagination let loose, and was told by some on this platform that it was all well and good. Now, however, I suppose most of you know that Roald Dahl’s children’s books "James and the Giant Peach," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Witches," and "Charlie and the Glass Elevator" are being rewritten to remove language deemed offensive by the publisher Puffin. (Penguin, the parent company, has indicated they are going to publish uncensored versions as if that makes things better). 

Meanwhile, Alan Gribben a professor at Auburn University has an edition of Huck Finn in which he removes the N-word as well as Injun and replaced them with “slave” and “Indian.“  And now I understand that according to a new report in "The Sunday Telegraph," new editions of Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels will omit offensive passages when released this spring by Ian Fleming Publications.  And like Dr. Seuss, it’s the people who control the text who are doing this so they can get away with it legally.  My comment to all of these second-rate unimaginative pariahs is "keep your lousy, “unhallowed hands” off other people’s art!" 

Would Dahl care?  Of course, he would!  Dahl was notorious for fighting editors over his word choices, but he’s gone now and the foundation can do what it likes.  My impotent fury on his behalf feels like raging at the wind.  Only in this age is the writer faced with the possibility that his actual text, never mind film interpretations of it, might be altered by people who no more understand the creative process nor have any ability to shape imaginative text than deep sea-lantern fish understand the nature of sunscreen. 

Publishers should NOT have the right to alter an author's intended words because they can.  Even if it is legal: It’s wrong, and if I ever become a published author I am going to include in my contract that NO such alterations can ever be made by my publishers or my offspring no matter how many generations pass.  Dickens didn’t think of this because he couldn’t imagine it.  Congrats you woke folk, you’ve created a whole new clause in contracts!

At least when the Victorians Charles and Mary Lamb rewrote the stories of Shakespeare they called it “Tales from Shakespeare: Designed for the Use of Young Persons” And perhaps one could claim that these Dahl, Twain, and Seuss books are intended to protect children who need protecting. I think that is an error and would suggest just finding an alternative author. However with the censoring of Ian Fleming’s adult spy novels, the pernicious nature of these so-called editors are revealed.  It’s almost amusing.  Rather than accept the fundamental fact that different ages have different ways of thinking (which is part of the benefit of reading literature) and that the artist’s vision is sacred, they now insist that everyone see things as they do, and if authors take is not 100% acceptable, then their works are just altered to do so.  It’s like putting a pair of briefs on Michelangelo’s “David.” 

Years ago Christians were accused of being closed-minded censors. A lot of parents got upset with the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” and a lot of liberals had a good laugh at their expense.  But no Christian parent suggested that the F word be removed from J.D. Salenger’s book while keeping his name on the cover!  Final thought: Write your own damn books and leaves those written by masters alone.  If you're so wise and clever, write your own books!

Be warned: I am a rhymer. Alert yourselves and be alarmed! Inveterate begrimer Of poetry, I come well armed To toss at every moon and June Words cliched and predictable, Reciting in my sing-song tune All platitudes inflictable. Be warned: I am a rhymer. A devotee of Dr Seuss, An echoer, a chimer, Notorious for letting loose On helpless consonants and vowels. I make them match, despite the scowls From critics of this bardic art. A hopeless metricist at heart, There's none can stop me once I start, For though they wince and cringe and curse I carry on from bad to verse.

FRIKIANOSTALGIA 36

DR. SEUSS ON THE LOOSE (1973), THE BUTTER BATTLE BOOK (1989)

[deathsbsf]

Long road from a girl who used her misfortune as an excuse,

She blamed everyone for the reason why the screws in her brain had gone loose.

Reminiscing about the older days, now she finds herself trying to rhyme like Dr. Seuss—

Grown to be susceptible to cannabis, yet would never go for booze.

Troubled by problems, all seeming to be brung by dudes,

She suffers, dealing with life paths feeling like there’s not many to choose,

Wishing she was a little girl who still didn’t know how to tie her shoes.
