So I know the few people who follow this are of the correct age to remember this movie. It was one of my favorite Dr Seuss books and movies. The Lorax, "he speaks for the trees" sent me into the woods on more occasions looking for the furry little guy. It was a good lesson on caring for your environment. It will always hold a special place for me.
Well next month, they are releasing a remake. From the previews I have seen, it looks like they have expounded on the story greatly. And Danny Devito as the Lorax? Are you kidding me?!! Ed Helms as the Once-ler, uggh!!! Bob Holt, a very familiar voice from Saturday morning cartoons (I had to look him up on IMDB lol) was the voice of both the Lorax and the Once-ler in the original. This made a nice continuity, even though in reality, it was likely done for money reasons :)! I'm just so annoyed that they are trying to ruin one of my childhood memories. I'm not seeing it. Very grateful that I don't have a small child! But, it has made me go looking for the original, and I think I found it on DVD. YAY!
