 Artistic License – History: Aside from the confusion over the "Hitler Lives" segment as detailed below, this film also clearly sidesteps over the cause of the death of Dr. Seuss' first wife, Helen, namely that she committed suicide, mostly due to her husband's affair with Audrey, who would become his second wife. The film also incorrectly states that he fell in love with Audrey after the death of Helen. This was altered, no doubt, due to the age of the target audience.

 Adaptation Distillation: Horton Hatches the Egg, The Lorax, and The Butter Battle Book in particular get trimmed pretty heavily to fit into this 90-minute documentary.
