The Lorax, selling SUV's!!!

Ok so the Lorax was, is, and always will be absolutely hands down my favorite book. You can imagine my excitement when I first heard it was going to be a new movie. The excitement didn't last long, however, when I found out that Danny Devito was playing my favorite character, and Tayler Swift and Zac Efron were costars. The movie cost 70,000,000 (yes that's millions) dollars to make. From what I hear that is a modest price for Hollywood today, but come on, put that money where it will matter.

The Lorax originally came out in 1971, and in '72 an animated TV special came out. I grew up singing along to the musical and still remember the words. It follows the book really well and I love it.

So after you read the book and watch the '72 version how can you not be appalled at the next clip.

Other than the Truffula Tree Certified Mazda CX-5 SUV that gets at best 32 mpg, good, but it's still gas. The Lorax movie has over 70 different product tie ins! 70!! Considering Seuss wrote the book when he was upset with over consumption in his area I think this movie effort is a disrespect to his name.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

 Catch! calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
It's a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all!
You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back.
