Review For Dr Seuss' The Lorax
Unfairly bashed by the anti-environment PR machine, this is a delight. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service May be a diversion for younger children, but it betrays the elegant simplicity of Geisel's vision. Bruce Diones-New Yorker Director Chris Renaud and his team have fun with these dithery, frenetic characters. The film is less special when it slows down and takes a breath of fresh air. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor This tale is filled with delightful characters and it's sugarcoated with vibrant animation and candy colors. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com The badness of the picture is a shock. David Edelstein-New York Magazine Par for the course in blowout CGI adaptations, a great deal of detail and bustle is gained at the expense of charm-for all the miracles these armies of animators can achieve, they have yet to successfully reproduce a humble artist's line. Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice The flat, non-rhyming dialogue and mainly dull new characters don't feel particularly Seussian. But thankfully, the animation does. Andy Lea-Daily Star Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is an entertaining and cautionary tale that stays true to the spirit of the good doctor. Billy Tatum-We Got This Covered Three minutes of substance, 91 minutes of shrill filler. Witney Seibold-CraveOnline A delightful animated feature with special appeal for tree lovers. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Illumination Entertainment has dispensed with almost all of Dr Seuss' endearing dialogue, which is a shame, because the film could do with more of a personality of its own. Martin Roberts-Fan The Fire A mostly harmless, cute and cuddly pop-infused babysitter for the ADD generation, but a wretched adaptation of Seuss' classic work. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD [Hollywood] simply doesn't see girls' and women's lives and needs as worthy of telling stories about... not even when one particular girl's desires are the obvious driver for the story being told. MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher It's a didactic piece with too much prose, too many chases and not enough wit. Small children will probably like it, but they deserve better. Philip French-Observer [UK] The catchy songs, personable characters and heartfelt message mean this is still a sweet and enjoyable concoction. Lucy Barrick-Radio Times It stinks. David Sexton-This is London Musical numbers, gorgeous design and a brilliant motorbike chase through the deliciously surreal Thneedville lift this from being a preachy, eco-friendly plod to a witty and comical adventure. Jayne Nelson-SFX Magazine Hollywood has found it tricky translating the whimsical magic of Dr Seuss' tales from page to screen and the makers of The Lorax don't fully pull off the feat here. Jason Best-Movie Talk Underlying messages of unity and self-sacrifice for a greater good are admirable, drizzled with mawkish sentimentality to sweeten the pill. -Liverpool Echo A film that's fatally lacking in humanity, and looks as flashy, plastic and commercialised as the world Dr Seuss condemned. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] It looks bright and clean and sharp. But there is no charm or life. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] It is like delirium tremens, only less fun. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Younger children should be satisfied. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express When a film misses the point as cretinously as The Lorax does, it really gets the blood up, although perhaps the lesson to learn here is simply that Seuss's aesthetic resists a cinematic treatment. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Lacks personality and charm, and ends up feeling, somewhat ironically, like a cynical exercise in commercialisation. -Film4 Amidst all the padding and razzle-dazzle 3D CGI, the Lorax himself and his grumpy admonitions are pushed to the margins - but the Once-ler's musical number 'How Bad Can I Be?' operates as an anthem for the self-serving, cynical casuistry of our own times. Anton Bitel-Little White Lies
