Butter Battle Book (Seuss)

"The Butter Battle Book is a rhyming story written by Dr. Seuss. It was published by Random House Books for Young Readers on January 12, 1984. It is an anti-war story; specifically, a parable about mutually assured destruction and nuclear weapons. The Butter Battle Book was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. This book was written during the Cold War era, and reflects the concerns of the time, especially the perceived possibility that all life on earth could be destroyed in a nuclear war. It can also be seen as a satirical work, with its depiction of a deadly war based on a senseless conflict over something as trivial as a breakfast food. The concept of a war based on toast is similar to the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which was nominally based on the correct end to crack an egg once hard boiled... The book was adapted into an animated TV special in 1989 by filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, narrated by Charles Durning. Seuss himself called the short the most faithful adaptation of his work." -Wikipedia

Can someone seed this? I'd really really love to have this along with the rest of my Dr. Seuss stuff. :)

This version, after yo extract it from the 30-some odd archive files, has pretty bad interlacing artefacts. There is a better version here:

I tried to torrent the one with no interlacing artefacts here: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/6029746

The other one everyone is recommending is a pretty shitty VHS rip (albeit without interlacing) whereas this one is a DVDRip (albeit with interlacing). We just need a decent dvdrip which isn't made by a complete fucking imbecile.
