Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

"for all the miracles these armies of animators can achieve, they have yet to successfully reproduce a humble artist's line."

what kind of utter trash is this?

I enjoyed reading the book. I tend to think the extended cartoon versions of Dr Seuss books often are silly and dilute the message and quality, though. I saw the coming attractions for the Lorax and it didn't seem at all like the classic book. I hope this time they did it right, at least the reviews were good.

When the Seuss saw this filmBy some strange time-glitch magicHis jaw fell to the floorAnd his face went quite tragicHe folded his arms 'cross his chest without flairAnd just while he was thinking, twirled his beard hairFive long minutes passed before Theodor spokeHis voice filled with such passion it started to croak:"You can't animate without drawing on paper!Who bothers with this, this strange fruitless caper?Animation is feeling! Sketch, colour, and line!(and a lot of Koreans paid low for their time)What is all this bother? It's garish, absurd!"And he strolled into the distance, not saying a word.

I went in just expecting to have fun & enjoy it, and I did. Especially for a kids movie. I thought the 3D was great, went with fun people, ate m&m's and just had fun. Glad I didn't read anything about it beforehand. Way better than the Grinch, in my opinion.

No one cares for how it compares to movies alike. This review should be based on this movie alone and how it is viewed through the audience's eyes.
