The Lorax, a Dr. Seuss classic coming to theaters

Variety reported yesterday that Universal Pictures purchased the rights to a Dr. Seuss classic, "The Lorax". The book was originally published in 1971 and it tells the story of a little creature who is environmentally friendly. Sounds like a good idea with all this talk of Global Warming. It will be done in much the same style as Horton Hears a Who, 3D animation.

This news is fine with me, as long as we don't get another The Cat in the Hat. My god, that movie was awful, even children should be offended at how dumb that movie is. How the Grinch Stole Christmas though, now that's another story. I loved Jim Carrey in that.

Either way, Dr. Seuss classics are coming to life as the years go by. Good thing? Or should they stay a creative part of a child's imagination? You be the judge.
