TV Review: Daisy Head Mayzie (1995)

This is an animated version of Dr Seuss' last book.  Dr. Seuss wrote the book, but it was illustrated after his death.  This short portrays a young girl, Mayzie, who has a daisy grow right out of her head.  AT first she is an object of scorn, even the mayor getting in the act saying the daisy must go.  But then an agent steps forward, and renames the daisy a talent, and signs her to a contract, over the objection of her parents.  She is intent on being famous and having fun.  She has her fun, and gets her money, but they don't buy her happiness, so she goes home where she is loved.
It is sad we cannot have our money and fun and our family and happiness too.
