Our take: My youngest downloaded the digital copy on to her iPod Touch and has watched the movie about 10 times. When mom and dad sat down to watch with her she had the show all memorized, the songs she sung with pride, and she prepared us for the funny parts as well as the sad parts. When I ask my 6 year old what the movie is truly about she answers, “not to cut down all the trees or we won’t be able to breathe!” Does this mean that when in the fall my husband goes with his brothers and uncles to cut firewood that my daughter will protest, I hope not. The movie does get somewhat preachy, but we try to ignore that and enjoy the colorful, sweet parts of the movie that make it entertainment instead of animated politics.

The music and the songs were an much loved bonus, my daughter bounced about the house reciting tunes, while we watched the movie I caught my son mouthing the catchy tunes as well (he’s 11). The kids picked up quickly on the idea of not needing to be the richest person alive if it means hurting people, my son says, “I don’t need to be rich, I just want to be happy!” Wow, pangs to the heart for sure! But, when it comes down to it, the things that made the kids laugh are really what watching entertaining tv is about, ask my daughter her favorite part of the movie, when “the Lorax says ‘why do you even have a toothbrush, you don’t have a beard!'” Totally silly, not even sure what it’s about (thought the brush was for his beard)…but makes the kids smile.

Movie was sent for honest review.

From the creators of Despicable Me and the imagination of Dr. Seuss comes the 3D-CG feature Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, an adaptation of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. The animated adventure follows the journey of a 12-year-old 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 will lend his vocal talents to the iconic title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms will voice the enigmatic Once-ler. Also bringing their talents to the film are global superstars Zac Efron as Ted, the idealistic youth who searches for the Lorax, and Taylor Swift as Audrey, the girl of Ted’s dreams. Rob Riggle will play financial king O’Hare, and beloved actress Betty White will portray Ted’s wise Grammy Norma.

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is the third feature created by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me, Hop).
