Bottom Line: The world of Dr. Seuss comes to eye-poppingly vibrant, 3-D life in this eco-friendly, greed-bashing, moderation-is-a-good-thing, cautionary tale. The colors are vivid, the musical numbers cheesy and the message is about as subtle as a mule kick to the temple. Short on story and chaotically lively, my boys still dubbed it the best kid-themed movie they’ve seen this year (update: BRAVE is now their favorite of the year). Parents probably won’t find it as creatively engaging and heartfelt as movies like DESPICABLE ME and HORTON HEARS A WHO – but the kids…they’ll lap this save-the-trees-messaged flick up with a shovel.
