Cees T From the fairy tale period between "behave or die" and "everything is awesome". 6.5/10 - Dark but good. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Christopher B While most Dr. Seuss' film's don't blow be away from a film perspective, each has a viable message and one that usually is timeless and still holds true, even today. "The Lorax" was a television special and while it only runs 25 minutes in length, contains a poignant message about capitalism as well as protecting our earth's natural resources and utilizing them with respect for our planet. In this short piece we witness one's greed and what a lust for money can do to the environment as we lose all our trees to industry. The film still proves very true, maybe even more so now in today's economy then when it was first released. While this is a grave and darker adaptation, both kids and adults can learn some viable ideals from heading the Lorax's warnings.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member With its appealing animation, faithfulness to the source material with nary any padding in sight and getting its message about protecting nature across in a much less heavy-handed manner than the Illumination movie (the lack of hypocritical marketing tie-ins helps), the '70s adaptation of The Lorax is, just like the 1966 Grinch cartoon, a television special that's an absolute timeless classic. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member While a well-animated movie and modern interpretation of the Dr. Seuss classic, unfortunately it didn't impact me the way the book did when I was a kid. The Lorax is my favorite Dr. Seuss book. It always seemed like the most serious. And when I saw the first animated interpretation of the book as a child, the story flat-out depressed me. This one, not so much. It wasn't a bad movie, but the Lorax him(it)self was not as prominent in this movie as I would have expected him to be. There is a time during the movie where he is, but other than that 20 minute piece, he is almost an afterthought. And because of that, the message wasn't as impactful. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A very fun movie to watch as a kid, but not of top level Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
