Television Special
There was an animated TV special in 1989 by animator and filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, narrated by Charles Durning and produced by and aired on TNT. The special followed the book closely, notably in its preservation of the original cliffhanger ending of said book, hence the title card "The end... maybe." in the conclusion of the story. Seuss himself called the short the most faithful adaptation of his work.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or special:
“So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“I have a special grudge against those who have the same faults as I do.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
