I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Don't Believe the Hype

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

AMAZING. different than the other kids movies that follow the same storyline.

This movie seemed to get a lot of hate for no reason. I really, truly enjoyed it. Sure, it wasn't really a faithful adaptation, but what really is? This movie has a great message about the environment and trees in the form of a little kid's movie.But just because it's for little kids doesn't mean I can't enjoy it too. I genuinely like the songs, particularly 'how bad can I be' though the others are really good too.The CGI isn't brilliant, but it's pretty convincing, and the movie looks really nice in general.

I have just watched this movie earlier this evening, and i was expecting utter tripe. But, I actually found it watchable.This movie is heavily bashed, and yeah, it isn't a perfect movie. Its trendy, it'll become dated, and the message is hammered into your skull. I think really, though, it didn't do a terrible job of adapting the book, and the message is still pretty well emulated here. Humanity appears to be restricted to a single walled city known as Thneedville, a false utopia akin to judge dread. The ecosystem has long ago collapsed, and oxygen is subsequently manufactured in factories, and is thus commercialised. Living here is ted, his presumably widowed mother and also probable widow grandma Norma. Every several months, ted buys a new toy to crash into the garden of his crush, Audrey. Audrey informs ted that she is obsessed with trees, and she'd marry anyone who could get her one. Despite not caring about trees, ted thinks Audrey looks hot, so he decides to hunt for one. Thankfully, grandma Norma knows of a hermit, the onceller, who might know something about them. Ted sneaks out of the poorly guarded city, and ventures into the smoggy neighbouring wasteland, barely avoiding decapitation from the ocean of axe-wielding deactivated robots. He meets the insane onceller, who tells ted snippets of his past over the course of a few days, conveniently, so that the movie can cut back to ted and Audrey and not shift all their screen time onto the onceller and the lorax. The onceller and his mule, Melvin, ravage the habitat of the adorably marketable barbaloots, swamy-swans and amphibious humming 'fish.' While he tried to be sustainable, his evil family show up and push him into going full-blown industrialist, destroying the entire forest, and running his business into the ground. Years later, a new villain rises. The tyrannical Aloysius O'Hare, who sells air. He isn't too happy about trees making a comeback, and since ted has listened to the onceller and gotten a truffula tree seed off the old man, O'Hare will do anything he can to stop him. After a surprisingly good chase, ted plants the seed, and nature returns. What DAMNS this movie is the overly positive ending. The book left on a cliffhanger, and this new ending was clearly happy. This removed the mystery and cliffhanger of the book. That said, the movie is colourful, harmless, it isn't horrible nor does it have any bad messages. Its got mostly juvenile humour, as a 22 year old, I didn't get much of a laugh from it. In fact, my 53 year old dad enjoyed it more than I did. There isn't much to it that challenges or entertain adults, but if you have kiddywinks that want to watch something Dr Seuss based, then this is not a bad choice. It has bright colours, lots of jokes, and a nicely done message about the importance of deep ecology. It really is a true kids film, don't expect any clever jokes or sharp wit, like, say, DreamWorks, Disney or Pixar.

The Lorax is basically about a boy who lives in a plastic world who wants to find a tree for his crush. Venturing out of town to find "The Once-ler," the boy is told (through flashback) the story of the Lorax, why all the trees are gone and why trying to become a business owner is inherently evil.The Lorax was a disappointment to say the least. The story was half- baked, the songs were forgettable and the environmental message was so obvious and preachy, I felt the need to go home and turn on all my appliances, then go out to rent an SUV and drive down the nearest street spraying chlorofluorocarbons in the air just to get the sanctimonious taste out of my mouth. And I consider myself an environmentalist! Well, I recycle anyway.That's not to say the movie is terrible, its not.I just don't see anyone liking it a lot.For its story is as plastic as its main character's home,read the book instead, it's an interesting tome.For this dubious adaption has an odious ring,and its basically an excuse to get Taylor Swift to sing.That and an excuse to shoehorn some corporate tie-in from companies eager to re-brand with an environmentally friendly message. Seriously 70 brands including the Mazda CX-5, IHOP, Target, Pottery Barn, Whole Foods, Comcast Xfinity, Seven Generation Diapers, and HP have all participated in tie-ins for this Dr. Seuss adaptation. I'm not saying I'm not in favor of tie-ins, I just find it ironic that a movie that preaches conservation so vehemently is, in equal measure, a boorish corporate shill.
