AMAZING. different than the other kids movies that follow the same storyline.

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.

This is one of the worst films that I have ever seen in my life. It's also one of the most unfunny films ever. You know what's really stupid and annoying? Minions. But you know what's even worse? Trying to copy theme as this "film" did with the bears and fish that live in the forest. All they do is make "cute" and "hilarious" noises and faces, that are everything but cute and hilarious! At one point they hum the melody of 'Mission Impossible', because that's a really clever reference that has never been done before. The rest of the "humour" of the film consists of unfunny jokes and dumb pop culture references. I did not laugh once during this film. It was cringe worthy and makes 'Family Guy' look funny in comparison. The songs are the most whitewashed, bland, uninspired and annoying pop songs I heard in a long time. Not a single one was memorable, I forgot most of theme already as they all sound exactly the same. The characters are all horrible. The 'Once-ler' is now a fedora and skinny jeans wearing guitar playing idiot hipster. His "character development" is also hilariously rushed. At first he is good, but than he sings one boring pop song and he is suddenly evil. Great Transition guys, really subtle! But of course, his parents urge him to cut down all the trees, it isn't his fault, you can't have a morally Grey character in a children's film, that would actually force theme to think! Than there is the big corporation guy who is just evil without any other character trait, because any film needs a clearly defined villain, even if the original didn't have one! The main character is voiced over by some old dude and sounds like he is twenty even though he is a child in the movie. Great! The grandma is the most terrible one, because she is just there for unfunny jokes.This movie is one of the biggest Hollywood cash grab I have ever seen. They took a story that had some moral ambiguity to it and dumbed it down as much as they could, because apparently, children are to stupid to think for themselves. The ending in the original movie was bittersweet. The world was still without trees, but the child had a chance to make it a better place. In the new movie, nothing and I mean nothing is left up to imagination. After the kid gets the last seed for a tree, the first thing that happens is a long, boring and stupid car chase scene, then the kid plants the seed, than all the trees grow back and than, and this is the biggest joke of theme all, the Lorax comes back from heaven. That didn't happen in the original, but of course it happens here because of course it does! It is so whitewashed and plays it so save that it becomes unbearable dull. The message of the film is incredibly hypocritical. They say that greedy corporations are bad, even though this film is clearly the product of a greedy corporation! In the original, while the message was clearly pro environment, their was some ambiguity to it and the 'Once-Ler' wasn't even the bad guy. In fact, their really wasn't a bad guy in the original! In this new one their is of course! The corporation is bad and the others are good, end of story! Besides Nazis and Russians there is probably no villain which is more overused than "The Corporation".Don't defend this movie because it was made for kids, after films like 'Rango' or 'Wall-E' or TV-shows like 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', that isn't an excuse any more. Because these things showed how brilliant television or film for children can truly be, as opposed to this abomination.Besides Nazi propaganda, their probably isn't a movie I would less rather watch than this one. Films like 'Birdemic' and 'The Room' are at least really unintentionally funny. I was incredibly entertained by 'Birdemic'. I was incredibly not entertained by 'The Lorax', it was cringeworthy, unfunny, boring, brain melting, horrid, abhorrent, hypocritical slime. I would rather watch 'Three Guys, One Hammer' again!
