Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
jdbarbir Great movie. Family friendly. Nice message, very well produced, fun movie
Mihai Toma The whole action happens in a fictional world where almost all people lived in a "perfect" city (where you had to BUY your fresh air), isolated from the rest of the pollution. There, a young boy, in love with an older girl and desperate to get her attention, promises to get her a REAL tree. In order to keep his promise, he must venture outside the city, and find a curious character who will tell him the story of their world, with both its origins and threats.It's an animation that's supposed to teach children about watching over nature and what can happen if it's destroyed. Unfortunately, it's not what it wants to be. Its action isn't very complex and its characters aren't as "lovely" as they should have been. You don't really care about them or their faith, you just end up wanting to see how it ends (but even the ending doesn't make the movie any favor). On the upside, it has a lot of funny moments which "wakes you up" from time to time and almost all scenes are very colored, a real delight for your eyes.Overall, it's really not what I expected it to be but that doesn't make it a bad movie. Watch it if you find a copy but keep your expectations low (not to be disappointed like I was).
Noah Danny deviate does it again he liter rally plays the borax in all dubs of the movie truly a breathtaking performance ROM one of the all time great actors of Hollywood when i think all star ball park home run hitting animated performances i'm gonna think Danny deviate i this magnum opus (for my magnum dong loll get it that's a reference to his other knockout great smash mouth hit roll as frank Reynolds adoptive father to Dennis and Dee Reynolds in the hit X series its always sunny in Philadelphia, which Will be ring its 12th season on January 4th of 2017 so mark your calendars) another god thing about this rad movie is that evil ass o hare dude hes just totally wicked gnarly evil man he dips all over Betty white whom is 90 something and the leads played exquisitely by zap Efron and some pop star (never stop never stopping see another wack reference for all thou hip people) than he has that gnarly song let it die BOI i would be dam ed if i ever heard a more sinister and evil song but that sigh guy has or backs and totally puts little short man in his place but this cinematic opus would be what it is without its other leading short man Danny deviate wit out him this would be like a 5 or 4 out of 10 flick but with him its a ten IT of ten picture
Filvies144 Now before this film was bad they made 2 awful live-action adaptations, the Grinch, and the Cat in the hat. They were so bad that Dr. Suess's wife did not allow any more of them. Then they made Horton hears a who animated, which was decent. But now lets look at this one.OK, lets start with the plot. The main plot is pretty weak because it's about a boy who lives in a town with no trees but fake designs that people like called thneedvile. He visits the onceler not because he was interested in nature. He gets in trouble by the mayor doing it, but he does it to receive a seed for a truffula tree, for a girl. Yep, that's all. But the good thing is that the plot of the original book with the Lorax and the onceler is pretty good. So the main story is not well written, but the books plot is.The animation is pretty good. The character design has always been a weak point at illumination, but it is decent. The environment is very colorful and looks excellent. So you got to hand it to the animation.The characters I like the most is the onceler . The onceler because he goes through development, and knows that what he did was wrong. Danny DeVito does good as the Lorax, but the Lorax doesn't get enough screen time, but is slightly annoying as the onceler said it best. The other characters are very one dimensional and the mayor would've been a better villain if he had been more sinister.There are 4 surprise musical numbers. All of them are horrendous. With bad lyrics, bad tune, and are very surprising and annoying. They are only a little better than Rebecca Black's Friday, but that's not saying anything at all. These songs are horrid! So the verdict overall is that it's not any better than the just OK Horton hears a who movie. It's just not. The animation is pretty good, but I forgot to tell you that the jokes are pretty bad actually. With only 2 good characters but otherwise a one dimensional cast, a weak main story, and atrocious songs, it is an improvement of the live action films, but it is still just not good. It's just not.Story: 4.5/10 Animation: 7.5/10 Characters: 4.5/10 Songs: 1.25/10 4/10
