In true Dr. Seuss fashion, The Lorax is here and fun. We had an opportunity to review this DVD, and the kids enjoyed it. Adalynn loved the colors and Lili loved all the rhyming. Just like the books, Dr. Seuss has the rhyming down pat in The Lorax!
It’s not a super long movie either – the time is just right. Both girls sat through and enjoyed it with me. Lili was so curious as to what was going on. It was fun to talk to her about it. Here is a little abut the movie:
Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax is the classic TV special that tells the tale of how an enterprising but greedy villain named the Once-ler, strips a forest of its lush Truffula trees, bringing them to near extinction for the sake of profit.
It’s the Lorax’s job to “speak for the trees,” the wondrous Truffulas, that make up the beautiful forest in which various wildlife live, including Brown Bar-ba-loots, the Swamee-Swans, the Humming-Fish and the Lorax himself. The Once-ler, bewitched by the beauty of the Truffulas, greedily chops them down so he can mass produce versatile garments, called “Thneeds” out of the Truffula’s colorful tufts. As the trees swiftly disappear, so do the Brown Bar-ba-loots, the Swamee-Swans and the Humming-Fish. The wise old Lorax continuously warns the Once-ler but his words of wisdom are for naught as the “Thneed” business booms and the Once-ler is blinded by greed. What will it take for the Once-ler to learn his lesson? Will the Truffula trees become extinct or is there hope for regeneration? my SIMPLE star rating :: 4 out of 5 stars
