The Lorax

Dr. Suesss fans will be delighted with this charming film about a boy trying to impress a girt with a tree, something practically unknown in the plastic city of Thneedville. The animation is terrific. Alien loved the Suessian creatures, poetic verse, and the song & dance numbers. The movie runs a bit long and slow to hold the attention span of the wee little ones for long. It is also heavy handed on its environmental message.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "let it grow" stars out of 4.
