Half of what the movie industry puts out makes clear that most problems can be solved with the enthusiastic use of firearms. Lots of what Hollywood does is propaganda of one form or another, and the fact that the town is full of liberals doesn't mean all the propaganda runs in one direction. Seuss intended it, and you couldn't make a Lorax movie that wasn't. Seriously.īut as David Haglund says, of course The Lorax is propaganda-that's just how Dr. Lou Dobbs, always ready to explore new frontiers in bloviating jackassery, sees a conspiracy linking Hollywood, Occupy Wall Street, and the Obama White House, pushing not just the environmental extremism of The Lorax, but also the socialist redistributionism of the children's classic The Borrowers (in its form as a new film called The Secret World of Arrietty) because the tiny little beings steal things like sugar cubes from humans, whom Dobbs believes represent the 1 percent. And did they ever Grist's David Roberts, upon seeing the trailer, called it a "rainbow-barf monstrosity."īut the fact that they've made a movie out of the enviro-rhyming book has made conservatives predictably outraged. Seuss never dreamed of to get it to 90 action-packed minutes. Seuss movies ( Horton Hears a Who, not bad The Cat In the Hat, a soul-sucking crime against nature), but particularly with The Lorax, a rather bleak morality tale with only a couple of characters, they'd have to cram in a whole bunch of humans and events that Dr. Seuss movies!-has finally gotten around to making a full-length version of The Lorax. Seuss kids love movies ergo, kids will love Dr. Seuss' exasperated little dude who tries in vain to protect the Truffula trees never fails to win admiration from any and all who see it.īut now Hollywood has come along, and using its impeccable logic- Kids love Dr. He got it 10 or 15 years ago, and his ink of Dr. I have a friend, a strong environmentalist and all-around lefty of the kind your average conservative talk show host would just love to punch in the face, who has a Lorax tattooed on his shoulder.
