Dr Seuss' The Lorax Reviews

This strangely insincere-sounding documentary from a Comcast-owned mega studio about the dangers of large corporate interests (not, as you might have thought, about the environment - surprised me, too) was an admittedly fun romp for children. But if you think too much about it, the magic fades.

Brilliant for so many reasons. Want to watch it again for the script alone.

What This Is Crazy I Like This Movie It;s More Better Then The Cat In The Hat Movie

The Lorax has some very beautiful animation, and holds a beautiful message, but delivers it the wrong way, using slapstick and gags rather than some serious drama. The Lorax is based on Dr. Seuss' children's story, which is great in itself. However, the wonderful message involving trees and demonstrating how a singular person can change the world is blurred by the unwanted and out-of-place comedy. The voice-acting is satisfactory, with Danny DeVito's voice suiting the eponymous Lorax quite well. The screenplay, however, is another aspect that stops this movie from reaching perfection. The 21st century catchphrases and urban language seem out of place among the harmonious rhymes and don't match with the innocent tone of the story. Otherwise, the visuals are dazzling, and the Dr. Seuss-inspired landscapes and characters are charming to look at. Overall, The Lorax is not a bad film, but could have conveyed the morality in its source material in a more sincere and decided manner.

Usually love Dr. Seuss but found this pretty boring :-S

Feels like it takes forever to get to Dr. Suess's point with this story, which is basically how all the movies made from his books feel, sadly. Many of the selections for voices in this also felt wrong to me. It stylistically over the top, and not in a good way.

A mess focused on a desperate love story between teens.

While Dr. Seuss' The Lorax isn't a perfect animated movie, it should be great towards children only. It also has a meaningful message towards the environment and talented voice acting.

I was expecting more Lorax! Have it's moment of cuteness but mainly tells the mistake of a greedy, materialistic human being and how he is looking for redemption. Not very comical or memorable.

it rocks it desersves 100.

Such a cute family movie!

good surprise, interesting, great story and learning, loved it, despite some cliches...

Awful movie. You might like if you like getting beat over the head with liberal propaganda.

Love Dr.Seuss. I believe in saving the world and this movie really shows how important trees are and what we could be missing out on one day.

"The Lorax" es una pelicula animada basada en un cuento de Dr. Seuss (del cual ya se adaptaron los cuentos de "The Grinch", "The Cat In The Hat" y "Horton Hears A Who"). El intento del director Chris Reanud es el de hacer un panfleto ecologico adornado con momentos divertidos y el resultado es muy irregular. "The Lorax" es un producto vacio y olvidable, como los que se consumen en la ciudad donde se desarrolla la historia.

It wasn't what was expected.

Great kids movie. Both of mine loved it so much they went a second time.

The story jumps through the hoops of "leading you there".. using a musical number {or 4} to re-tell a tale through characters so the audience has a better understanding. CG is Stunning, after a while you quite imagining the actors doing the voice overs and the opening, closing and "how bad can I be" numbers are the most rememberable.. Hey, my Toddler Girl loves it.

Interesting, but somehow rendered elements from many many more animations.

It looks pretty and is largely entertaining, but is a big step down from Despicable Me.
