The 3D-CGI feature Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is an adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. The animated adventure follows the journey of a boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world. Danny DeVito lends his vocal talents to the iconic title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms voices the enigmatic Once-ler. Also bringing their talents to the film are global superstars Zac Efron as Ted, the idealistic young boy who searches for the Lorax, and Taylor Swift as Ashley, the girl of Ted’s dreams. Rob Riggle plays financial king O’Hare, and beloved actress Betty White portrays Ted’s wise Grammy Norma. (Universal Pictures UK)

A truly colourful animated film with an unmissable ecological subtext, which somehow pulls it out of the grey waters of mediocrity, because the bland script and lack of emotions (both humorous and serious) bring down the rating. Through the verses, at times it reminded me a lot of The Grinch, which comes from the same author, but in this case Christmas has been replaced with a plastic and "dead" world.

If someone had a "marathon" of movies, in which both parts of "Happy Feet" were included in any order, along with "Lorax", most likely the last movie would end with the statement that they will never use anything that would mean cutting down trees or causing the melting of glaciers. Right after that, they would open their old refrigerator, kill some annoying bugs along the way, throw a pile of leaflets into unsorted waste, and probably let the water drip as well. "Lorax" is a bit of preaching to the choir, as most people couldn't care less. How do you say it? Casting pearls before swine? Adults aren't interested in the fact that the movie is strongly environmentally friendly, it will probably bother them, but with children, we can only hope that they take away something more than the strange, small, toothless orange mudge. The film has a visually good side, but most of the drawings and proportions of the world and trees have already been created by Dr. Seuss in his illustrated books, which are something for Americans, like books from Lady and the others are for us. In his books, Seuss dealt with various topics and in "Lorax" it is precisely environmentalism. It's pointless to criticize the film for being ecologically oriented, that's the source material. The story is not the most original, but the film contains jokes that are very tolerable. I've seen worse animations (like "Sharks on Dry Land" for example, not to go so far), so I think the film deserves at least an average rating.
