The spirit of the living forest A colorful cartoon about how important it is to take care of nature, and that all technical tricks will not replace the living world, a fascinating and fun three-dimensional adventure unfolds a real beautiful fairy tale, with bright heroes and stunning humor.
But first of all, I want to note not even the ecological meaning, morality or funny forest animals, but the fact that in the first for many, many years in the animated film, pleasant songs, really memorable and long-lasting in memory, chicly written and very windy! The initial song about the city of Vsemnezhville and the final composition “Let it grow!” will be remembered for a long time and will pop up in memory again and again with its winding rhythm and excellent text.
Of course, in addition to the wonderful musical accompaniment, it is impossible not to focus on Denny DeVito, who voiced his hero - furry Lorax in the original, but also in many other languages such as German, Spanish, and, most importantly, Russian! Speaking with an accent, the touching red Lorax is a miracle of charm and a hilarious set of phrases and jokes, regularly surrounded by funny situations.
I do not know how far the potential future shown in the cartoon lives according to the technical laws of stability of capitalism, when beyond the high walls of the industrial city it is no longer visible how nature is dying, how all the forests have been cut down and not a single tree remains. But there are always people who are willing to go against a terrible system, against pseudo-stability and limits. The young generation, demanding freedom, begins a brilliant revolution against the unfolding regime and for the sake of regaining the beauty of the surrounding world. The freedom here is indicated by the air, since the oxygen trees produce completely free and naturally, and the totalitarian magnate, the owner of the city, sells air to local residents for money, profiting from the needs of people.
The revolutionary and rebellious tale of morality about respect for the environment rushes into the distant past, when the trees were still large, real and alive, full of cute bear cubs, wonderful cute fish and other animals, and a person who decided to cut down a tree (obsessed with a thirst for enrichment) calls up a mysterious and mystical creature. The furry and mustachioed Lorax, the spirit of the living forest, a conservationist and the main conscience of the environment, repeatedly tries to ban deforestation, warning of the consequences before it is too late.
The general drama of the devastation of green territories is presented surrounded by hilarious jokes and comic scenes. Funny bears take their soul with their naivety and charm, and wonderful fish sing famous movie melodies and amuse themselves with their various antics. Human heroes came out clear and simple, sometimes slightly caricatured, but still very pleasant and cute in terms of their design and animation.
Pleasant animation in such a wonderful story is even more delightful, and in addition to all the comic elements, there are not a few simply exciting adventures, chases, intrigues and already above the lauded musical numbers. Many supporting characters so gracefully and humorously complement the overall picture that without them, the cartoon would be quite different. Everything here is thought out to the smallest detail and very integrally assembled into one deep and beautiful story. “Lorax” is a fabulous, fun and useful cartoon, both for children and adults. It is a pleasure to watch and review such wonderful animations!
