There’s a lot of care put into an animated version of “Green Eggs and Ham” (Netflix, streaming). But the original 1960 Dr. Seuss book used only 50 words in its six dozen pages, so there may be an awful lot of story filler that may be as unpalatable as the emerald hue of breakfast items. Adam Devine voices the ever-annoying Sam-I-Am; the previously unnamed recipient of his suggestions, now called Guy-Am-I, is voiced by Michael Douglas. Others lending their voice for the lavish kids show: Diane Keaton, Eddie Izzard, Ilana Glazer, Keegan-Michael Key, Tracy Morgan, John Turturro and Jeffrey Wright.
The only other thing the streaming service is premiering today is the Christmas romantic comedy “Let It Snow” (Netflix, streaming) about teens in a snowstorm. The ensemble cast includes Kieran Shipka, Liv Hewson, Jacob Batalon, Mitchell Hope, Shameik Moore, Odeya Rush, Matthew Noszka, Isabela Merced, Mason Gooding, Miles Robbins and Joan Cusack.

Kate Reinders is the drama teacher.
