Horton hears a Who was done well, I think all things considered. But as for the Lorax? A few seconds into the trailer and my heart BROKE.

Interjected love story? Robots? Lazers? Being able to see the Once-ler?

@MutantAnomaly I was mistaken then :D thanks for correcting me.

I love the fact that Mr. Giesel flat out told every Pro-Life group not to use a line from one of his books. This guy was awesome. :)

@TheGerogero

Not everything is in her control. Hollywood executives have ways of completely taking properties out of their rightful owners control and having their own way with it. She couldn't possibly keep up with life on set with a film crew or even make it to every board meeting to make sure that Geisel's creations are handled properly. She's done what she can to protect his legacy, and she deserves credit for that. On top of that, she's openly hated just about every movie adaptation.

@crock703 Audrey eventually forbade any more live-action adaptations of dr. seuss's work, due to the reception of the Grinch and Cat in the Hat movies.

For people who search for this after watching epic rap battles of history, u r a douche bag.
