    • Trivia

    • Quotes

      Ted: So this *is* really all your fault. You destroyed everything.

      Once-ler: Yes. And each day since the Lorax left, I've sat here regretting everything I've done. Staring at that word, "unless", and wondering what it meant. But now I'm thinking... well, maybe you're the reason the Lorax left that word there.

      Ted: Me? Why would he leave that for me?

      Once-ler: Because unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Starts slow, still boring in the middle, but great fun towards the end
    It's the second movie of Dr. Suess I have watched until now. The first one, which I watched about 3 years ago, Horton hears the who, is still in my top 20 animated movies of all time. I'd already set mediocre expectations for this one with the reviews, ratings and the plot. At the start, we come to know what message we are gonna get at the end. So, it's not pretty suspenseful. Also, it starts slow. It took almost half the movie to let them come to the track and pick up. It's not slow, but boring in the middle although a few laughs from the little ones which doesn't amuse the giant us too much. No doubt, towards the end, laughs get better and more, however, remain average. The last few minutes are fun, rest it's average/below average stuff. The animation is good. Average Animation movie. Exact 6/10
