Let's be real here, this movie was garbage

This film is an insult to all other really good CG animated movies like Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon, Toy Story, etc.

You don't even need to concern yourself with the propaganda discussion happening around here. It really is horrible all on it's own, no need to knock it down any further with talk of it brainwashing your children.

How about it just sucks so don't bother letting them watch it?

I feel like I could type a full review that is really long and contains all the flaws but the movie doesn't even deserve that much. But if one thing just stuck out like a sore thumb it would be the character of the Lorax. He was sent there to protect the forest.....and he didn't at all. Not even a little bit. One man and his family destroy the forest with no resistance.

Lorax gets all sad and leaves. You know, after he has just been sitting by letting this destruction come to the forest. The like 20-30 years later the man that destroyed the forest has 1 seed left to give the kid. This seed of course is pretty much magical because it seems to grow right away which triggers the once dead forest to now start growing again.....umm, ok wth?

Lorax descends from the heavens (lol) and tells the man he did a good job and they hug in the end.

Doesn't get much worse than this folks.

The Lorax was a positive movie about loving our planet and looking after one another. I don't understand how that is a bad thing? The movie didn't suck, it was well thought out. The lorax is a protector and guardian which means he can't just go around killing people. That would be wrong. He gave the Once-ler a fair chance at turning a new leaf. The Once-ler didn't listen so he had to learn his lesson the hard way. At the end the trees came back and a lesson was learned.

That's the thing about the world, The earth will be fine at the end of the day... But will the people inside the earth be fine? Now that's questionable. I think your children learned a valuable lesson from the movie.
