That is, with the exception of a badly placed musical number, which makes any sorrow at the trees being destroyed seem diluted. Danny Devito does a great job as the Lorax, and I feel it's pretty safe to say that the parts of the story actually focusing on the Lorax himself were indeed enjoyable. Naturally, the art style is fantastic and whimsical, as all Seuss work is. Let me get the good parts out of the way first. The movie, on the other hand, left me thoroughly unimpressed. As a kid, I loved the bittersweet end, as it got the message across and made me want to care about preserving nature. It's a charming yet somewhat depressing book as the main character realizes what he's destroyed, yet leaves a glimmer of hope at the end as he passes off the last tree seed to a young boy to plant. If you were ever a child, you are probably familiar with Doctor Seuss's 'The Lorax', a tale of a world where man's greed and selfishness has eradicated all the trees in favor of their escapist man-made town. The other later accused us of never having been kids. Throughout the movie, one of them kept groaning and sighing at the same parts I did. I went to see this movie with two girl friends of mine. Reviewed by drewmeister11 5 / 10 The Lorax himself is fun, but the movie itself is a let down. With only 2 good characters but otherwise a one dimensional cast, a weak main story, and atrocious songs, it is an improvement of the live action films, but it is still just not good. The animation is pretty good, but I forgot to tell you that the jokes are pretty bad actually. These songs are horrid! So the verdict overall is that it's not any better than the just OK Horton hears a who movie. They are only a little better than Rebecca Black's Friday, but that's not saying anything at all. With bad lyrics, bad tune, and are very surprising and annoying. The other characters are very one dimensional and the mayor would've been a better villain if he had been more sinister. Danny DeVito does good as the Lorax, but the Lorax doesn't get enough screen time, but is slightly annoying as the onceler said it best. The onceler because he goes through development, and knows that what he did was wrong. The characters I like the most is the onceler. The environment is very colorful and looks excellent. The character design has always been a weak point at illumination, but it is decent. So the main story is not well written, but the books plot is. But the good thing is that the plot of the original book with the Lorax and the onceler is pretty good. He gets in trouble by the mayor doing it, but he does it to receive a seed for a truffula tree, for a girl. He visits the onceler not because he was interested in nature. The main plot is pretty weak because it's about a boy who lives in a town with no trees but fake designs that people like called thneedvile. Then they made Horton hears a who animated, which was decent. Suess's wife did not allow any more of them. Now before this film was bad they made 2 awful live-action adaptations, the Grinch, and the Cat in the hat.
