Entertainment Weekly
The movie is like a less original "WALL•E," but it's still vibrant and touching. - 80
Arizona Republic
There is no denying that the environmental message is heavy-handed. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
This is purely warm, wonderful, wise and hilarious family entertainment that is fantastic movie fun for everyone. - 75
Slant Magazine
The Lorax is a modest gem, failing to significantly enhance its source material's ideas but still delivering a zany, rollicking, multi-character version of Seuss's environmental cautionary tale. - 75
ReelViews
The result is solidly entertaining - not quite as good as "Horton Hears a Who" or "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" - but unquestionably better than "The Cat in the Hat." - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Armed with a splendid voice cast and a gorgeously-rendered 3D-CG landscape, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax entertains while delivering it's pro-environmental, anti-greed message wrapped in a bright package of primary colors that truly pop. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Although the movie's ecological message is dominant, it's not heavy-handed. Rather, the ecological warnings are tossed out with the same joie de vivre the Once-ler displays when tossing marshmallows to the bears. - 60
Time Out
Unfortunately, a new problem rears its head: It seems no young audience member can be trusted to enjoy a thoughtful story without a heroic, borderline-obnoxious surrogate (here, he's voiced by Zac Efron) zooming around on a scooter, bonking villainous heads and saving the day.
