My favorite Seuss book, hands down.

Now comes the movie. So much potential!

I remember having to watch this every year on Earth Day in elementary school. Let's hope the movie doesn't go the way of THE GRINCH or THE CAT IN THE HAT.


Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Man, it could be wonderful....or....Jim Carrey could be involved.

It's by the team behind the recent adaptation of Horton Hears A Who.
They did a pretty good job, IMO.

The recent live-action adaptations have made me physically sick. This isn't going that route, but it does have things in common with the equally disgusting Horton.

I'll stick with the books.

Love the book, love the animated film.....

Oh, for the love of Seuss...please don't ruin it!!!

I also love the Grinch and absolutely loathe the Jim Carey version.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

After clicking on the link I thought the reason they had that photo of Chris Meledandri is because he's the actor they chose to do the voice of the Lorax.

There's a slight resemblance, no?

Love, love, LOVE this book. I used to have whole sections of it memorized as a kid. I hope they do it justice. But, of course, I'll be seeing it anyway.

Now if only they turn the Butter Battle Book into a short film to be played Pixar-style at the beginning, I'd be all set.
