did anyone see The Lorax?

I love the book and read it to the kids all the time.

Movie came out yesterday and I'm either going to rent or buy it today.

If it sucked - I just want to rent it for them. lol

It was okay. The animation and colors were neat, but holy shit, was it preachy.

Ditto. My DS liked it, but its not one of his favorites.

I liked it! I'm also a fan of the book and I recognized several of the lines from the book in the movie. While several things were added, it stayed true to the general theme of the book, which is a big deal for me.

It was just okay. I say rent it. I don't think it's a repeat viewing

[wildfloweragain]

Rent it. The lorax is one of my favorite books but there was a lot of other stuff going on in the movie that wasnt like the book at all. Escaping from the authority a la The Giver and teen romance, if I remember correctly.

DD enjoyed it. I am not planning to buy it though.

I bootlegged an audio copy of the book. It's read by Ted Danson and is like 20 minutes long. It was my best friend when I was teaching.

I bought it yesterday but haven't watched it yet. I hear Danny devito and imagine him saying, " speak for the trees, shitbird" and "this tree is tits!" a la Frank Reynolds. Lol!
