Great movie. Family friendly. Nice message, very well produced, fun movie

This movie touches on such a huge issue in our society, and depicts it in a great way that children and adults alike can watch. LOVE IT

This does no justice to the book and just stinks. Though the animation/CGI is great, this is nothing like the fantastic and whimsical book it was based off of, and basically everyone in here who cuts a tree is a bad guy. Yes, it's a good idea to preserve trees. Yes, we need them around for oxygen. But what's so harmful about cutting one? If you have no trees in your yard, why are you so horrible? The person who owns the home with stumps wasn't necessarily the one that cut the trees down! This is not a memorable or likable movie.

It is disheartening to see people be this stubborn and not willing to remove the rose tainted nostalgia glasses. Lorax is a meaningful story that is as relevant today as it was all those years ago. It was also a children's book at roughly 30 pages. Lorax the movie knows that it can not bring the original story to the big screen successfully because it simply is not long enough to be done in a good way. Even with a script written with new events the movie is not 90 minutes long. So what we instead get is a story of what world would be like after the Lorax book ends. As a children's movie Lorax has some cute humor and beautiful art style, it also has some tunes that kids would easily sing along to and "How bad" always sticks in my head. We have a protagonist that makes sense in the world that we are presented and a side cast that fulfill their purpose. From the modern mom that despite her career making contact with family harder sticking up for her son and supporting him to a wise grandma that yet again fights the stereotype of old people being boring slow and dumb to the big corporate antagonist that fits the mold of so many contemporary big heads in our world. The story is divided in the parts of the original events leading to our story and the parts in the new story. The two story lines work out well with each other by neither overstaying their welcome which many retelling stories fail to do. The premise is simple yet meaningful and that is why this movie matters. While many might look at it and say it is nothing like the book and is filled with clichés I would say it is not supposed to be like the book, it is supposed to convey that message and although that message is delivered softly and sweetly we still get it loud and clear. Our world needs our vigilance or it will die! In my opinion this movie is getting treated unfairly and that is a saddening occurrence since what really should be getting our attention is the moral of the story.
