The flat, non-rhyming dialogue and mainly dull new characters don't feel particularly Seussian. But thankfully, the animation does.

May be a diversion for younger children, but it betrays the elegant simplicity of Geisel's vision.

The badness of the picture is a shock.

Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is an entertaining and cautionary tale that stays true to the spirit of the good doctor.

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.

About as factory-produced a film as it's possible to make about the evils of commercialism, while the bulbous, Haribo-hued animation style reflects none of Seuss's visual wit.

Directors Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda have filled every scene with funny-looking (or sounding) characters, sight gags, and one-liners to provide constant distraction.

It's heart is in the right place, but the execution isn't quite what it needs to be to excel.

A delightful animated feature with special appeal for tree lovers.

This tale is filled with delightful characters and it's sugarcoated with vibrant animation and candy colors.

Three minutes of substance, 91 minutes of shrill filler.

Director Chris Renaud and his team have fun with these dithery, frenetic characters. The film is less special when it slows down and takes a breath of fresh air.
