amazing movie
i love that it teaches young children to take care of the environment such a powerful message. i love that it showed the impact our choices can make but also gave hope we can turn it around if we work together.The animation, voice and storyline made this a win.

serenity now
I cannot say I like this movie. I can say It helps me through my 3 am anxiety attacks. I have listened to it 100 times and i still notice new parts of the movie I did not see each time. I had to break down and buy it because they keep taking it off the streaming services. It is the only movie I can stand to hear through and through in these moments. Thanks.

Classic story of greed over the environment.
Classic story of greed over the environment. What a shame this lesson hasn't penetrated the hearts and minds of policy makers. Great for everyone.

An honest review of The Lorax combo pack
Review of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax Combo Pack (Two Discs: Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet)I preordered this movie set a while ago, with the expected delivery date by August 7 (as advertised). The movie discs arrived today (August 7) as promised. Thank you, Amazon, for keeping your word.I was pleasantly surprised that the packaging was a standard bubble-lined envelope, instead of a medium/large box like the days of old. Less packaging, less materials to have to send out for recycling (in the true spirit of the movie's "save the planet" theme).I purchased the set that included blue-ray + DVD + digital copy + Ultraviolet access. As soon as I received the text message that it was delivered, I came home to watch the movie again with my daughter. She was eagerly anticipating the arrival of this movie, so suffice it to say that her hum drum summer day was instantly made by the opening of this package.The blu-ray movie clearly shows the intricacy of the animation. My daughter watches the DVD on her portable DVD player. The digital copy is accessible to my HTPC (home theater PC) so that we can watch the movie from almost anywhere at home. In addition, the ultraviolet copy allows you to keep a copy in the cloud, and to stream from any computer, iPad/tablet, iPhone, and more. So we're good to go.There are three new mini-movies included in the combo disc pack ("Wagon-ho," "Forces of Nature," and "Serenade"). These are available on both the blu-ray and DVD. Also included are:-The Making of the Mini-Movies-Deleted Scenes-Seuss to Scene-Once-ler's Wagon-Games-Sing-Along... and other things we haven't tried.I initially thought the the DVD has the feature film + a few bonus features, and that no mini-movies are included on the DVD disc. It turns out that the DVD in this combo pack also includes the mini-movies, as well as the other bonus features (the making of the "mini-movies" and other bonus features that are also included in the blu-ray disc). It is possible that the 1-disc version (DVD only) only contains the feature film + bonus features, with no mini-movies included. I did not get the 1-disc (DVD only) version, so I cannot attest to this.The movie itself has been reviewed by many others here, so I will include a movie review with a later update. For now, I will keep this review on the packaging and discs.Yes, the movie follows the theme from the Dr. Seuss book, plus more. Drop in the bucket... save the world one tree at a time... don't waste precious resources... any situation can be made into a song and dance number. Take your pick. I don't really care much for the songs, none of which I could remember even after watching the movie in the theaters. Or maybe it's just me."A 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world." IMDB summary.The character voice overs are made up of an all-star cast, consisting of Danny Devito (The Lorax), Ed Helms (The Once-Ler), Zac Efron (Ted), Taylor Swift (Audrey), and Betty White (Grammy Norma). It is an interesting take on the story, but I was slightly disappointed with many of the book interpretation. Oh well.Probably the most relevant line from this story is the most appropriate in this day and age:"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,nothing is going to get better. It's not."
