As if their fruitless attack on The Muppets wasn’t pathetic enough, the propagandatrons at Fox News are continuing to attempt to scare their viewers with that most dreaded of boogeymen – Liberal Hollywood!
Recently Fox Business News anchor Lou Dobbs accused the recently released Disney/Studio Ghibli animated Japanese import The Secret World of Arriety and the soon-to-be-released CGI-animated kids’ comedy Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax of indoctrinating America’s youth into an evil, anti-capitalist, eco-friendly liberal mindset.
Universal Pictures premiered a new TV spot for their upcoming release Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, the latest beloved children’s book from the venerated author to get the CG-animated film treated, during last night’s Super Bowl.
To say that the first trailer for Fox’s upcoming adaptation of The Lorax was impressive is putting it lightly.
With the Despicable Me team of Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda behind the project, the upcoming animated flick looks like an absolute charmer, and something to make the month of March, 2012, all the more interesting. And now, we have even more to back that thought. The Australian trailer for the film has been released, and it looks mighty fine.
One of the trickier names to try and adapt for the big screen has been Dr. Seuss. Be it the fallible live-action takes on The Grinch and The Cat In The Hat or the shockingly watchable Horton Hears A Who, the big screen takes on Seuss’ works have been hit or miss.
And now it’s The Lorax‘s turn.
The first trailer for the upcoming Chris Renaud-directed take on the tale has hit, and it is quite stunning. Watch it here below.
Next up on the list of Dr. Seuss‘s classic stories to adapt is The Lorax.
Things began with live-adaptations of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, which was decent, and The Cat in the Hat, which was forgettable. After that, it was decided to try the computer animated path with a Horton Hears A Who! movie that could be considered the best of the Dr. Seuss movies we’ve seen, if not on par with The Grinch.
Sadly, none of these movies have risen beyond being just average fun to being great, but can all of that change with The Lorax?
The movie will use the same computer animated style of Horton Hears A Who! and now has an entertaining voice cast to help bring it to life.
Click on over to the other side to see who’s voicing who, and to get your first peek at the Lorax in all of his computer animated glory.
