The third in the Notes Alive series with the Minnesota Orchestra is another fine introduction for kids to the arts. This computer-animated version of the Dr. Seuss story about the mood of colors (narrated by Holly Hunter) is combined with footage of a concert symphony. We follow a boy and his dog juggling his various moods, something soaring like a bird ("a blue day") or moping around the house ("a gray day"). The music is outstanding; Richard Einhorn created a new composition, which focuses on the individuality of instruments in the 30-minute piece. A percussive, hand-clapping sequence is quite fun. The animation doesn't seem as fresh in this day and age of A Bug's Life--it's quite bulky. Yet the film is brisk enough to entertain the youngsters and they will undoubtedly ask questions about the various instruments shown. There's also a 15-minute short on the making of the film. It includes interviews with the animators, the composer, and, most notably, with Theodore Geisel's (Dr. Seuss) wife, who talks about her husband's influences and gives a tour of their house. (Other Notes Alive titles are On the Day You Were Born and Nutcracker: The Untold Story.) --Doug Thomas

 Five-Stars Doesn't Begin To Do It Justice January 8, 2007
I think I love this video as much as does any child who has ever seen it. It is just wonderful! Taking Dr. Seuss's last completed book, My Many Colored Days, and making it into a short three-dimensional movie with colors that leap with absolute beauty was a stroke of genius. And I love the music that accompanies it, too! Holly Hunter is a perfect choice for narrator. This video is a rare example of how magical a project can be when everything is gotten just exactly right! No matter how many times I watch it, this video still reaches something in me and makes me happy.

An absolute perfect marriage of music, text and animation. Richard Einhorn's musical setting of this wonderful Dr. Seuss story is pure genious! This musical story takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It's a must for any serious Seuss collector!

I rented this from our local library and found in one week both my children wanting this video over all our other favorites. It highlights the wonderful book by Seuss but also presents the Minnesota orchrestra. The music in this is so wonderfully done and Holly Hunter's narration is perfect. This truly brings to life the different moods color can play in our lives. There is additional footage on the making of the video and a look at the author seen in the eyes of his wife. Enjoyable for the entire family. My 2.5 year daughter has been reciting lines from this story. It has been so much fun and I just had to buy a copy!

This DVD is an excellent way to introduce kids to concert music while exposing them to Dr. Suess. It is very creative. The voice over and animation are very cute and the music is excellent. My 3 year old has no trouble sitting through the 45 minutes and is thoroughly enchanted. I am pleased to put this DVD on whenever she requests it. I feel she is getting something out of the experience and not just "zoning out in front of the tube."
