If you're wondering how bad The Lorax feature film really was, put succinctly it felt like it was embarrassed about its source material. Few of Seuss' words remain in the dialogue; on the one rare exception, the words were spoken by a character not found in the book and then immediately dismissed as weird.
If The Lorax had Seuss rolling in his grave, The Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers had Seuss spinning hard.
Horton Hears a Who on the other hand is quite good; an honorable example of how Seuss' material can be adapted to a feature film.
- Vexs 11y agoThat cat in the hat movie was an abomination. I mean, the source material isn't much to work with, however they just took the character and plopped him into some nonsense storyline with naught but suggestive glances towards the book. Horton hears a who was pretty good though, and I think that was because the book had a plot that you could work with. The lorax had that possibility, but they just mucked it up.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoA few more low-lights that come to mind, 1) there was a fucking car-chase, 2) When the lorax makes his entrance it looked/sounded like the death-star exploding. Devito was cast perfectly I thought though.
