Default The Lorax

I know that several CP users have avatars based on this book/cartoon. what do you think about the movie coming out? and bingo/youneedathneed what do you guys think about this, it used to be a kind of an inside thing and it's about to become mainstream?



Danny devito is a good call as the narrator/Lorax but i think it's pretty lame that zack effron is in it.

btw i saw this trailer while going to see tin tin which my girlfriend is in love with. I thought that movie would disappoint, but i liked it and she absolutely loved it. Just goes to show when they commercialize something from your childhood they don't always bung it up.

I loved the Lorax movie that used to get shown when I was a kid in schools, I have no doubt that this will totally destroy that love, given the movie conversions for children's books I have seen come out in recent years. ie Horton Hears a Hoo and Cat in the Hat

I think it looks cool. I'm not sure that the Lorax is really an inside thing though; its a popular book for kids written by a guy who is likely the most popular childrens author as whole.

Looks great. What's wrong wtih Zac Effron? He's not that bad of an actor, really. I love me some Dr Suess and I can't wait to take my little girl to this, the art looks fantastic. I really wish Suess would have been able to create landscapes in 3D with the animation capabilities that are being used today... his artwork and vision is so amazing.
