Dr. Seuss: The Lorax | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A storybook come to life. It works really well thanks to the keen visual eyes of Renaud and Balda.

Its execution lacks a great deal of finesse and too often opts for methods that cheapen the overall didactic in favour of Hollywood thrills and spills.

While director Chris Renaud's experienced animation-orientated eye may account for some of its successes, the final product ends up being detrimental to a beloved story, and is at best only intermittently engaging.

The animation is absolutely eye-popping with super bright neon colors.

Fortunately, there were lots of kids at the screening. You gotta watch 'em. They were giggling, singing along, bouncing, and happily kicking the reviewer's seat. Bingo.
