* NarmCharm: The characters-turned-real, and the various props and food are absolutely RIDICULOUS, all in costume, personality, look, and substance. (Especially given a serious Shakespearean actor like Sir Patrick Stewart!) Yet... There's a surprising fascination at how REAL and PHYSICAL the producers managed to make them, in addition to how much Dr. Seuss' whimsical ideas and stories influenced many a child-of-the-past and are now influencing present young children. It's hard not to drop your jaw in awe.
* NightmareFuel: The hallway containing Seuss's political cartoons is surprisingly creepy, especially with some of them showing frightening images of an elephant-ostrich hybrid and people being cooked in a pot with (presumably) Hitler pouring the liquid into a box labeled "The Mold" on the side. The unsettling background music and abrupt alarm at the end doesn't help.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Two of the stories that Kathy explores are the live-action ''[=McElligot=]'s Pool'' segment and ''And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street'' (a ''WesternAnimation/{{Puppetoons}}'' short), one of the animated segments that were re-edited to avoid the topic of racism and other questionable content. Come March 2, 2021, and these shorts are now sure to raise some eyebrows now that the original ''[=McElligot=]'s Pool'' and ''Mulberry Street'' are two of the six Dr. Seuss books that were pulled from publication due to racist and/or hurtful imagery.
