    The Lorax

    I took my 9 yr old and 15 year old. This movie is definitely for all ages! It was well scripted. The animals were so cute, especially the bears! I highly recommend this movie for all ages.

    The Lorax Falls a bit too Short

    First, I have to say that the animation was beautiful! I couldn't imagine better looking Truffula Trees, Humming-Fish, Brown Bar-ba-loots, and Swomee-Swans. The Truffula forest and all of it's creatures were perfect!

    The story strayed too far from the book for me. The songs were not good and the mysterious "Oncler" was a human?? I didn't get it??

    The Lorax

    I thought it was an extremely good movie and a good way to remind us as well as teach children to think of the result of our actions. As a whole, I feel we, as a generation, take things for granted thinking our actions have no effect on what is really valuable in our lives. The pleasures of nature and how much it enriches our lives and generations to come.
