The Lorax

Just not for me. This _Lorax _is almost all filler. The message is still there, but it's lost under a tidal wave of meh.

Final rating: - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal.

The Lorax thneednt have shoved its colourful environmentalist message so brutally. Well, the live-action Cat in the Hat adaptation was a cough massive success cough so it was only a matter of years before another Dr Seuss family-friendly book would have its zany vivid world transferred onto the medium of film.

Such a crap movie for babies. The Lorax is literal orange crap color. Boring garbage made by money hungry pigs.
