The fish are harmonizing because they're hummingfish. And no, they are NOT supposed to be able to walk around on dry land at this point in the story. They're supposed to do that when the water becomes so polluted they can't live there anymore.

The Lorax's job is to speak for the trees, not to stop their destruction physically, although that didn't stop him from trying to send him up the river. The idea is that we are to protect and preserve the environment from ourselves, which is something only we can do, hence why the Lorax doesn't do much. I do agree that this film isn't written well, though. But I think it's better than when Illumination did The Grinch. The Jim Carrey version was better.

You are correct. The book and 1972 short are much better with a much better environmental message. Not to mention they didn't partner with HP or Mazda to advervise themselves, seriously what was Illumination thinking. And "Biggering", the song they were going to use before "How Bad Can I Be", is so much better at expressing the point.

This movie gets way better when u hear "biggering" the original song instead "how bad can i be?" It was replaced cuz they think it was too dark for the tone of the movie, and it is really dark. The movie is a criticism to capitalism, biggering is how unscrupulous tycoons sees the world. There's just a song without 3D animation of biggering but it totally worts it and even if it's just a sketch is way better than HBCIB

Even if the Once-ler would've planted that one seed at any time, people still wouldn't have cared besides Ted, Audrey, and Granny, and O'Hare, knowing how bad the trees would interfere with his business, would've destroyed them, causing deforestation all over again. So he had to trust Ted to do it.

The Lorax may not have been entirely well-received by critics saying the message wasn’t clear about the themes of deforestation and the consequences of greed and industrial pollution. However, it was still pretty good in my book. Ed Helms as the Once-ler (though seen as a human here, but remains unseen in the book) did a wonderful job right alongside Danny Devito’s titular character the Lorax. I can picture Ed Helms in the Once-ler outfit while he plays his guitar to How Bad Can I Be? He’s got that edge. I’ve seen him do it.

I like this movie I think is fun and one of the few Dr Seus books that’s completely accurate to the story I would say. I like that teaches you to not to do deforestation because it wrecks the environment and that’s what the once-Ler did. He didn’t listen to The Lorax and wreck the whole forest and lost his friends 😔 also this movie has great line of star actors likes of Danny Devito, Betty White. Zac Efron and including Taylor Swift as Audrey which is another bonus in why I like this movie 😁❤️ hope you sort of enjoyed it and excited for the next movie reaction 😃😊😄❤️

I always dig your commentaries! I assume you haven't read or are familiar with the original book by Dr. Seuss? I feel this one not only had a hard time stretching the classic Dr. Seuss book out to a feature length, but also just told everything so bluntly and rather over-the-top in a way I don't care for, that I feel clashes with the original book. Feels more like a Despicable Me-esque Illumination romp with the themes slapped onto it (like you said, "surface-level politics") than something where the storytelling works outward from Seuss' concerns about the environment.

🤔 Here's the problem. Usually, the main issue with converting a popular book into a movie is deciding which parts to leave out in order to condense it down to a reasonable length. With Dr. Seuss books, the dilemma is the exact opposite. How do you take a short book that only takes about five minutes to read, and stretch it out into a full length feature? The answer is, you don't. To me, the only truly great film that was ever made out of a Dr. Seuss book was the original 1966 "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" half-hour television special.☺ If you're looking for a full length cartoon feature that's based on a book, Roald Dahl's novels lend themselves a bit better to the 1½ hour format. "James & The Giant Peach" (1996) is a really good Disney musical that everyone seems to have forgotten about. 🍑 "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009) is also pretty good, albeit a bit darker. 🦊👍
