Yeah, Lou Dobbs was railing about about this last week. This and the Secret World of Arietty. I don't get that one at all.

I'm amazed when I watch some of the cartoons I watched as a kid in the early 70s -- Bugs Bunny in drag and playing the monster's gay hairdresser.

The talking heads would have exploded if they existed back then.

They said the same thing about The Muppets -- that it was anti-capitalist.

Don't pregnant republicans want to eat mercury-free fish too? Or are they fine with it?

A book about conservation is "indoctrination". Yet they can make movies about toy robots in order to sell a billion dollars worth of merchandise, and that's America, baby!

Are you kidding? Sensible reforestation to continue to be able to produce thneeds would be right up any free-market conservative's alley.

Don't forget Nixon started the EPA.

I found this article interesting, Though I think the consumerism at play with 70 product tie-ins including a Mazda cross-over(non-hybrid) SUV that is "truffala approved" makes the film a lot less ideological then Seuss had intended.

I was not crazy about the movie - they departed too far from the original story. However, the highlight of evening was during the number where the Oncler was singing if it was bad (cutting down trees) to do what comes naturally (making thneeds). A little voice in the audience called out "that is bad". I was like yes! one more convert to the liberal agenda

I read some of the comments in the article- wouldn't have surprised me if they started suggested book burning. Of Dr Seuss. Insanity.

First the attack on birth control, now Dr Seuss. This election year is really getting out of control. I fear to see what is next.

I'm as liberal as they come, and am pretty pro-environment. But the Lorax kind of sucks. It's not the message so much as its ham-fisted ideological message.

I don't know what these conservatives are all worried about. The free market determines everything. So, if the message of the Lorax is as bad as they insist it is, the movie will flop, right?

Oh, wait. Number 1 movie of the week. Shit. So much for those arguments.

Agreed! Look at this smelly homeless dude:



Jesus, he looks like John Lithgow on a three-week meth bender.

Take a bath, hippie! Hah!

I have noticed that this poster likes to talk about how people "smell" in various threads. S/he also cannot spell and dislikes punctuation.
