I have been quite surprised with the Dr Seuss films lately. After the disappointment of the first 'Grinch' and 'The Cat In The Hat', this one, 'The Lorax' and the 2018 'Grinch' have all been really well done and very funny and clever too.
It's a lovely story anyway and this version does it great justice with that modern twist to bring it to a new audience. Yet it still contains so many great messages for everyone -
Stand up for what you believe in. Even the smallest voice can and should be heard. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. A persons a person no matter how small. (That's particularly relevant for my Niece Eleanor who is diddy!) And so many more. . .
They have also created such wonderful worlds to look in to. Wouldn't it be so much more fun to live in a world like that where the houses aren't all square and boring and things are all just so much more colourful and fun. I'm sure it could be possible if we tried. Somebody get Kevin McLeod on the phone??
The voice actors are all well chosen too, not necessarily my favourite actors in general, but in these roles they certainly do shine. Jim Carrey was an inspired choice for the ever endearing and loveable Horton, despite the fact he usually aggravates me.
The artists should get a mention too, they have obviously worked hard.
I think this will stand the test of time, being, as it is, another world entirely and having morals that will sadly still need to be taught for at least a few more generations.
