Movie Reviews of Dr. Seuss - The Lorax/Pontoffel Pock & His Magic Piano
Movie Review: Extreme Fading In The Lorax But Good Nonetheless
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lorax is one my favorite Dr. Seuss cartoons. Obviously Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) had many different things on his mind when he wrote The Lorax. While many kids enjoy this story, many of them, most likely, will not be able to see one of the messages Dr. Seuss incorporated into the story: Corporate greed.
The cartoon is very well done, but I noticed extreme color fadings on the cartoon. It's not as crisp and bright as the ones I've seen growing up. In fact, this is the worst presentation I've seen The Lorax in. There are also a few scenes where the color finally gets brighter, but then a few seconds later, it turns to dull coloring again.
I have not seen the second cartoon on this DVD but plan to soon.
In a nutshell, The Lorax is a fine cartoon. But the extreme color fading of the film is most likely the worst presentation it has been given in. It is still worth the buy.
