Haha! Oh, I want to see that clip now. I recall seeing The Lorax in some car commercial, but I didn’t realize it was for a regular gas-consuming SUV! Geez, was that really a good idea? 
I heard somewhere that they had adults voice the kids because they thought that the kid’s voices would change durring recording. Just thought i’d clarify. 
Yes, I remember hearing about young male actors in particular going through puberty during the voiceovers for animated films, like Flounder in TLM. A 12-year-old boy would be a pretty hard character to cast, and I’ll honestly say that the combination of the look of the character in The Lorax and Efron’s voice make him look a LOT older, at least 15 or 16.
Totally see it, I put the link to that clip in my post. It was hilarious.
There are examples of that happening. But in this movie’s case, I doubt it’d be a problem
-
Despite what the trailers show, Ted was not a huuuuge character who carried the bulk of the film. Honestly, how long would it take to do his lines? Not long enough for his voice to completely change
-
His character is pretty young, probably of the age right before those changes take place.
Ok, so I saw this move back in the theaters. It was pretty good. I later read the book, and it’s pretty much the same, but all the other stuff, such as [spoil]Ted’s crush on Audrey and the whole O’Hare Air thing[/spoil] was made up for the film. The part about the [spoil]animals swimming in the marshmallows was kinda cute, and the musical number where the Once-ler becomes powerful[/spoil] was pretty fun.
And in my review, I’d say it was more environmental than any other story with somewhat similar premises…
And here’s my biggest critique of the movie, IMO:
O’Hare Air is practically Fire Nation Phase 2. Especially when Audrey’s tree painting gets censored.
gets tomatoed for Avatar reference
So… that’s my review. Pretty good film. The music is what really did it for me. 
I COULD hate this movie; it definitely has a lot in it to want my hate (especially since it pretty much misses the point of the original), but… I’ve seen Mike Meyer’s The Cat In the Hat, so what else you got?
I didn’t think this film was bad. It was cute and silly, but not in a dumb way. I’m sure it could have been better, but overall I thought it was cute. I did notice how things were similar to WALL-E, but those parts didn’t upset me or anything. It’s from a book, that kind of stuff is expected.
And I kinda thought Ted and Audrey were cute together. 
You mean the environmental stuff? Yeah, that’s in the book (and take in mind, the book was written LONG before Captain Planet).
Yes. I didn’t mean the climax, the very end, I know that part’s not in the book. Just the stuff before it. I guess the whole environmental vibe was from the book. Sorry if I was confusing.
Yeah, the “happy ending” was NOT part of the book, in fact, it ends on a pretty bittersweet note.
I thought this movie was way too jumpy. I personally thought the added characters were ridiculous.
Interesting obsession Chris Meledandri seems to have with Dr. Seuss adaptations. While I wouldn’t say they’re awful, they seem to be super quirky and out-there, and unlike the humor of films like Ice Age and Despicable Me. I know he plans to make a series of more Dr. Seuss films at Illumination Entertainment.
Oh no really? No offense but I really hate his adaptations. I love his original ideas.
I want to take a moment and say that the score was perfect. Songs aside, the background music was beautiful.
