Great reason to see THE LORAX next weekend

Probably one of the earliest, best environmentally and corporate greed conscious children's stories ever told, one that I have read to my son too many times to remember, is now a Hollywood movie. I hear the story has been changed in some major ways, but let's hope it stays true to Theodor Geisel's (Dr. Seuss) original intent. I'll be there next saturday with my boy cheering on the Lorax (I hope Danny DeVito as the voice does not play down his important perspective).

from the Huffington Post
Fox Business Network is targeting another children's movie for allegedly brainwashing children with liberal ideas: "Dr Seuss' The Lorax."

The network first slammed "The Muppets" in December. Host Eric Bolling had insisted that the movie, which features an evil oil baron, was part of Hollywood's vendetta against oil companies.

On Tuesday, host Lou Dobbs railed against "The Lorax," along with the Japanese children's film, "The Secret World of Arrietty." "Hollywood is once again trying to indoctrinate our children," he warned. He claimed that the movies were "demonizing the 1% and espousing green energy policies."

Dobbs said "The Lorax" was about "a woodland creature that speaks for the trees and fights rampant industrialism." He replayed a clip of the Lorax demanding to know who chopped down a Truffula Tree.

He compared the movie to the Occupy Wall Street movement, which he said "forever tried to pit the makers against the takers," and President Obama's calls that "everyone should pay their fair share."

"The President's liberal friends in Hollywood targeting a younger demographic using animated movies to sell their agenda to children," he alleged.

His guests, radio hosts Dom Giordano, Matt Patrick and Steve Cochran, agreed.

"What we're doing is creating Occu-toddlers," Patrick said. He directed parents to "buy huge tubs of popcorn, ram it in your face," leave the litter behind and walk out of the movie.

  1. ya know.. The Lorax was published in 1971... and i recall watching Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, and so many more shows that were for the 'lil guy' .. fighting the big business [whether it was wealthy cattlemen fighting a sheepherder, or the railroad fighting to take the land of a farmer, or fights over the individuals water rights as opposed to the large company --- she'att, even the first non-talking movies were about Penelope and the evil railroad tycoon tying her to the train tracks]
    so tell me please!!! ... WTF is wrong with teaching children that we are the stewards of this planet?
