A truly colourful animated film with an unmissable ecological subtext, which somehow pulls it out of the grey waters of mediocrity, because the bland script and lack of emotions (both humorous and serious) bring down the rating. Through the verses, at times it reminded me a lot of The Grinch, which comes from the same author, but in this case Christmas has been replaced with a plastic and "dead" world.

If someone had a "marathon" of movies, in which both parts of "Happy Feet" were included in any order, along with "Lorax", most likely the last movie would end with the statement that they will never use anything that would mean cutting down trees or causing the melting of glaciers. Right after that, they would open their old refrigerator, kill some annoying bugs along the way, throw a pile of leaflets into unsorted waste, and probably let the water drip as well. "Lorax" is a bit of preaching to the choir, as most people couldn't care less. How do you say it? Casting pearls before swine? Adults aren't interested in the fact that the movie is strongly environmentally friendly, it will probably bother them, but with children, we can only hope that they take away something more than the strange, small, toothless orange mudge. The film has a visually good side, but most of the drawings and proportions of the world and trees have already been created by Dr. Seuss in his illustrated books, which are something for Americans, like books from Lady and the others are for us. In his books, Seuss dealt with various topics and in "Lorax" it is precisely environmentalism. It's pointless to criticize the film for being ecologically oriented, that's the source material. The story is not the most original, but the film contains jokes that are very tolerable. I've seen worse animations (like "Sharks on Dry Land" for example, not to go so far), so I think the film deserves at least an average rating.
