I hesitate to criticize an adaptation of Dr. Seuss that is credited to Dr. Seuss himself, but I do think that the story suffers from being expanded for TV. I suppose that the point of the story was supposed to be emphasized by the added idea that just as in the larger world there is only one creature, much ridiculed, who believes in the smaller one, so too in the smaller world there is only one creature, much ridiculed, who believes in the larger one; but I think that rather than being emphasized, the point is weakened. The population that is being threatened is no longer any more innocent than the population threatening it; the only tension left is between the unbelieving majority and the lone believers. In addition, the longer the phenomenon of the tiny world is dwelt on, the more opportunity there is for inconsistencies to be noticed. How do the tiny people know what an elephant is? (That question is actually raised.) Or a dinosaur? (That question isn't.) One or two of the songs are nice, but still I prefer the book.
