As you might recall, I gave Illumination Entertainment's take on the Theodor Geisel classic a positive review back in March. The Blu-ray likewise doesn't disappoint.
The high-definition presentation is as perfect as you could ask for. Colors (check out those truffula trees) are superbly brilliant and crisp, making the picture appear glossy.
Extras, however, aren't as shiny—unless you're under 10.
The "mini-movies" included with the combo packs aren't much. Of the three, Forces of Nature is probably best, but only because it acts as a deleted scene from the movie. Parents—except the hearing-impaired—will rue the moment they press play on Serenade.

Ugh, this has JUST hit theaters in the UK and you have the blu-ray already. And we still don't have Brave!
It annoys me that we have to wait so long. They have enough money to promote the film in different countries at the same time and we see the US promotions on websites a good 3 months in advance. By the time it eventually hits the cinema the excitment has long worn off.
And we have to wait till Feburary for Paperman/ Wreck-it Ralph!
Humbug.
Consider yourselves lucky.
Despite the review given by the author, I was extremely disappointed by The Lorax. Barely managed to be funny and had some very amateurish scenes. The writing for this film was just not good at all.
Dr. Seuss...sorry this happened.
I'm with crocko. No offense, Mike.
I rented the Lorax with Blockbuster at Home just last week and because I have been reading Dr. Seuss books since I was a kid, think I might have been more excited to see it than the kids. They loved it and although the animation was top notch, I think crocko33 was right about one thing. This film did leave a lot to be desired. I was talking to my supervisor at Dish today and he said that they can’t just copy Dr. Seuss’ story verbatim and expect people to pay millions of dollars to see it. I see his point, but the kid in me just wants the story I remember back. It is definitely worth the rental, but I am happy I didn’t buy it.
