The Lorax

Brohoof’s: 8.7/10 Content Rating: Filly

A common trend in Hollywood seems to turn books into movies, with more notable titles and authors usually comes a bigger price tag for production. So it was no surprise that Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax got a massive budget. The original story was a good one, with deep roots in nature conservation. The producers did their best to mirror the vibrant imagery that Theodore Geisel was able to produce. Filled with humor and a good moral, this is a movie that I could comfortably recommend to just about anyone. The movie has its pitfalls, however. As much emphasis was put into the advertising of the character “The Lorax”, he would have been classified as a supporting role. Furthermore, a great deal of the story was told as a flashback. But details were great, such as voice acting, animation, and art style. Overall I would say that the movie met, but not exceeded expaction.
