The Polar Express is a great children's book, that takes fifteen minutes tops to read. How you can stretch that out into a feature film is baffling.

I said the same thing about "The Grinch." Good thing Dr. Seuss wasn't alive to see it.

Is "Goodnight Moon" in production yet?

Re: Dr Seuss

Don't give too many props to Seuss. When his first wife took seriously ill, he carried on an affair openly with the young wife of a younger couple that Mr & Mrs Seuss (actually Mr. & Mrs. Theodor Geisel) were good friends with.

By some accounts, he made no attempt to hide the affair from his ailing and bed ridden wife, who subsequently committed suicide - probably from a combo of the great pain she was in as well as the emotional pain seeing her hubband and his young girlfriend around the house, etc.

After his first wife killed herself, he married his young girlfriend, and she has been his wife until he passed away.

She is reportedly the main force (on the Seuss estate side of the equasion) to market the Seuss properties in film. A pretty big moneyminded woman.
