DOCTOR DeSOTO is as wryly delightful in animated form as William Steig's original story -- and when I ordered books from Scholastic for my child, I was pleased to discover that our copy of Steig's PETE'S A PIZZA would be accompanied by a videotape of animated short films based on PETE..., THE AMAZING BONE, and DOCTOR DeSOTO. We enjoyed them all -- every one of them is a treat, and all have excellent narration, too. PETE... is narrated by Chevy Chase, ...BONE is narrated by John Lithgow -- but who is doing that crisply witty, very British narration for DOCTOR DeSOTO? It's not mentioned anywhere in the short or on the videotape packaging or even in the IMDb write-up! Maybe that means the narrator simply isn't anybody famous, but hey, everybody deserves credit for good work, don't they? If anyone can identify the narrator of DOCTOR DeSOTO, let the gang at IMDb know, won't you? In any event, you might try ordering this videotape through scholastic.com, just so you can see that excellent animated versions of William Steig's urbanely witty, warm, inventive tales didn't start with the Oscar-nominated SHREK! :-)
