Wow just wow

Eco-warriors? Anti-capitalist? NO WAY, HOSAY!
The muppets was a great movie, and The Lorax looks good.

Whoever did it though, is an IDIOT

I like the original, not the 3D movie.


I love this movie.

Yeah.

And whoever says that humans being the biggest threat to nature is false is an idiot.

The Lorax is probably the best childrens movie ever.


My little cousin just saw it and is now talking about saving trees and not cutting them down.

If that's a bad thing, then Christmas is a holiday based on greed.


Seriously, those people are stupid.

Anyone banning this movie or discouraging it is exactly the type of completely idiotic, uneducated, stupidity it is warning about.

I completley agree.

Also, Not to start anything here, but did anyone else think the young Once-Ler looked like Willy Wonka in his coat, glasses, and top hat? (The new wonka, not the gene wilder one.)

Haven't seen it.
Looks kinda boring. 

I think that it's taken the soul out of Seuss and replaced it with merchandising and an attempt at making the maximum amount of money possible by catering to kids' wants. (An ihop breakfast with a Lorax THEME? REALLY?) And really? Zac Efron?

That aside, though, it IS cute and the cgi has a lot of work put into it.

And it DOES have a moral, but..

Not really sure what to think

...The once-ler is still willy wonka.

Umm

  The Truffula Forest reminds me of the Chocolate Room, so I think they might've actually used it for inspiration

I liked it.

I watched The Secret World of Arrietty and The Lorax. The Lorax was a good movie, but it kind of made me uncomfortable, partly because the movie theater was mainly little kids and old people (this was true with both of them). Also, The Secret World of Arrietty has almost nothing to do with the environment - it's about (spoilers) an insane maid who tries to kill things because "they exist and sometimes take pins and sugar cubes."How did he get to that conclusion >_>

I thought it was a great movie. Betty White did GREAT. I really liked the "How bad can I be" scene. Mostly because it's so true. What did you think? 

I haven't seen it yet, as I live in Australia and it comes out on the 29  . I have seen heaps of pictures and one of my online friends has seen it and loved it. I am super looking forward to the "How Bad Can I Be?" scence, as I love the song and The Once-Ler in general ;D.

The actual scene is kind of creepy/disturbing. It shows the horrible effects of the factory on the animals, along with a GIANT 50 FOOT ONCE-LER.

OMG!
