#Watch the lorax full movie movie
I'm not going to say that big businessmen shouldn't be villains or anything like that, but the point of the original book was that all of mankind had stopped caring, whereas the movie says it's the fault of Once-ler and O'hare entirely, the latter of who deliberately is keeping people clueless about trees. In the movie, it's basically all because of some horribly stereotyped evil characters - Once-ler himself is painted as naive but still a good person, but the creators apparently didn't want him to seem corrupt in chopping down all the trees so they have his redneck family do it for him. It's a case where the book was more dramatic than the story - nature had been ravaged, and nobody cared about it except for one boy. Unfortunately, the part of the story focusing on the boy trying to find a tree was tiresome. You should be upset that the Lorax leaves us, but I was more upset that I WASN'T upset.
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.
