In response, Stephanie Sperber, president of Universal partnerships and licensing, said Universal chose to partner with the Mazda CX-5 because it is "a really good choice for consumers to make who may not have the luxury or the money to buy electric or buy hybrid.

Seuss' The Lorax is cute and funny enough, but the moral simplicity of the book gets lost with the zany Hollywood production values. New York magazine film critic David Edelstein on NPR's All Things Considered strongly objected to the movie, arguing that the Hollywood animation and writing formulas washed out the spirit of the book. Demonstrating how the book's text was used in the movie in this excerpt from the review, Edelstein discusses Audrey describing the truffula trees to Ted:.

Lou Dobbs, the host of Lou Dobbs Tonight on the Fox Business Network, has criticized the film as being "insidious nonsense from Hollywood", and accused Hollywood of "trying to indoctrinate children".

The film also garnered some positive reviews from critics such as Richard Roeper, who called it a "solid piece of family entertainment". Roger Moore of the Pittsburgh Tribune called the film "a feast of bright, Seuss colors, and wonderful Seuss design", and supported its environmentalist message. This was the biggest opening for an Illumination Entertainment film and for a feature film adaptation of a book by Dr. Seuss, as well as the second-largest for an environmentalist film.

Top review. Starts slow, still boring in the middle, but great fun towards the end. It's the second movie of Dr. Suess I have watched until now. The first one, which I watched about 3 years ago, Horton hears the who, is still in my top 20 animated movies of all time. I'd already set mediocre expectations for this one with the reviews, ratings and the plot. At the start, we come to know what message we are gonna get at the end. So, it's not pretty suspenseful. Also, it starts slow.

It took almost half the movie to let them come to the track and pick up. It's not slow, but boring in the middle although a few laughs from the little ones which doesn't amuse the giant us too much. No doubt, towards the end, laughs get better and more, however, remain average. The animation is good. Average Animation movie. FAQ 1. Where did Seuss get the inspiration for The Lorax? Details Edit.

Seuss's studio in San Diego overlooked the Pacific and the view was framed by beautiful eucalyptus trees, says Steve Brezzo, a friend, neighbour and former art world colleague. When developers sought permission to fell them to build residential property, Seuss launched a campaign in opposition. The same cannot be said for the Lorax, who failed to overcome corporate greed. And business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies, you know. Pro-business groups, including loggers, attacked it as environmental propaganda and the book was even banned in some schools and libraries.

Recently, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs warned that the film adaptation of The Lorax was indoctrinating children against big industry. The logging industry responded with its own book, The Truax, about responsible forest management. Universal Studios, which produced the new Lorax movie, has created marketing tie-ins with dozens of green products, according to the Associated Press, with the Lorax hawking everything from eco-friendly vacations to fuel-efficient SUVs.

At a school in Virginia recently, more than school children sat through a reading of The Lorax, followed by a presentation from a Mazda marketing executive who urged the children to persuade their parents to test-drive a Mazda SUV, the Washington Post reported. Seuss would most likely have been uncomfortable with the fact that his character is being used directly to market products to children, says Mr Brezzo.

Seuss's original Lorax right is much sparser than the Universal Studios one. An environmental warning.
