    I was such a snob when The Lorax was adapted into a movie in 2012 but I'm grading reflective essays for Environmental Literature right now and like a full generation is crediting it as the origin of their ecological consciousness

    Are there any prince movies for kids?. Anyone who knows about kids' movies knows how popular princess movies are, especially Disney princesses. My child is six and absolutely loves them too. My child also loves princes and kings, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that features a character as easily beloved as Elsa or Moana for example. Even worse, a lot of the times male characters are just antagonists or at least stand in the way of the princess. I'd love to see a movie with a young…

    So the Lorax movie made $350m+ on a budget of $70m. Huge success. This in a world where Space Chimps got a sequel . Nut Job got a sequel. But why not the lorax. And the answer is i know why. They're leaving money on the table but. i know why. If you were on tumblr you know why.

    A fun Seussian village from the Lorax film. This was another surprise as I thought my designs were not used, but the village colors and shapes ended up a lot like this. I think things were less loopy and crazy, but there is a strong resemblance to my work in the end. Photoshop.

    I do actually love how much Nintendo emphasises Miyamoto's involvement with the Mario movie because it conjures an image of him diligently watching hundreds of animated films to find a studio to make it, getting to The Lorax, leaning forward in his seat and being like, "Yes, I want these people."

    Good take on Hoppers imo. A funny movie, but it feels afraid to actually say anything substantial about environmentalism. Dr Seuss' The Lorax is a short picture book, but pulls no punches even though it's for kids. And that was 50 years ago! @popdetective.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/YeYgk...

    It’s like when The Lorax movie had a marketing campaign that contradicts it’s own message about capitalism and even environmentalism. It’s more a matter of questioning Disney if they understand what Tron is about.

    Honestly, while I dislike The Cat in the Hat movie far more due to it being the worst kind of auditory and visual overstimulation, The Lorax (2012) I find to be far worse as an adaptation due to how much it callously goes against everything about the story.

    If I had to offer one bit of criticism to the poster though, why is the Lorax film using the characters to sell cars not on the list but Rosalina and Peach being sisters is? I get it was a controversial change, but it doesn't fundamentally ruin the point of Mario the way the Lorax selling cars does.

    There's a fan theory (I think for the Illumination movie, but if anything it works better for the book) that the Lorax is entirely a figment of the Once-ler's imagination. A conscience that the Once-ler ignored. That's why the Lorax can't do anything itself.

    It is objectively funny to hear someone say "animation is cinema" when their favourite movie is The Lorax. But I think stuff like Fantastic Mr. Fox and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio deserve a hell of a lot more respect. They are completely valid to have as your favourite movie.

    I think there are a lot of anti-capitalist/anti-authoritarian sentiments in the entertainment we consume. It's true of this film. But also in kids' movies from *A Bug's Tale* to *The Lorax*. Lately, it's made me think that its function is to keep resistance in the realm of fiction, not reality.

    corporate slop. Seriously, if you haven’t heard Biggering before I’d check it out, it’s a really good song about how people can be absorbed by greed in a corporate setting, and it feels appropriate for a Lorax song, unlike most of the other songs in the movie (even if the Lorax sounds like (2)
