The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Story & message are great (Dr. Seuss) but the majority of the movie tries really hard to be a little bit of everything (A musical, a drama, a romance, action, comedy, etc). Coming from illumination, there's a lot of "minion"-esque humor which is always annoying to adult people, but for youngin's is like candy. I'd still prefer to just read the book or watch the old cartoon personally. Movie: 6/10 Book: 9/10 Danny DeVito: 50/10

I barely pause on movies. Even more rare do I pause and never come back. I can never shake off the feeling of not finishing something that I have started that can be easily finished. The halted story also haunts me on my quiet times, so I would naturally come back to it. But for Lorax, I could easily pause it and never come back. I can put it in a box and stuff it in a a corner in the attic and never look back ever again and I'd be fine with it. The only reason why I was able to finish this god-awful movie was because the internet was down and I was bored to tears.I regretted the very moment I pressed play. I now had to waste my precious time and brain cells. It doesn't help that I saw Taylor Swift contributing to this movie, which made it just a little bit more unappealing.For this one, I was just happy it was over when the movie finally ended. Lorax is the reason why I read synopses and watch trailers.

Now before this film was bad they made 2 awful live-action adaptations, the Grinch, and the Cat in the hat. They were so bad that Dr. Suess's wife did not allow any more of them. Then they made Horton hears a who animated, which was decent. But now lets look at this one.OK, lets start with the plot. The main plot is pretty weak because it's about a boy who lives in a town with no trees but fake designs that people like called thneedvile. He visits the onceler not because he was interested in nature. He gets in trouble by the mayor doing it, but he does it to receive a seed for a truffula tree, for a girl. Yep, that's all. But the good thing is that the plot of the original book with the Lorax and the onceler is pretty good. So the main story is not well written, but the books plot is.The animation is pretty good. The character design has always been a weak point at illumination, but it is decent. The environment is very colorful and looks excellent. So you got to hand it to the animation.The characters I like the most is the onceler . The onceler because he goes through development, and knows that what he did was wrong. Danny DeVito does good as the Lorax, but the Lorax doesn't get enough screen time, but is slightly annoying as the onceler said it best. The other characters are very one dimensional and the mayor would've been a better villain if he had been more sinister.There are 4 surprise musical numbers. All of them are horrendous. With bad lyrics, bad tune, and are very surprising and annoying. They are only a little better than Rebecca Black's Friday, but that's not saying anything at all. These songs are horrid! So the verdict overall is that it's not any better than the just OK Horton hears a who movie. It's just not. The animation is pretty good, but I forgot to tell you that the jokes are pretty bad actually. With only 2 good characters but otherwise a one dimensional cast, a weak main story, and atrocious songs, it is an improvement of the live action films, but it is still just not good. It's just not.Story: 4.5/10 Animation: 7.5/10 Characters: 4.5/10 Songs: 1.25/10 4/10
