I remember growing up reading them and have wonderful memories of reading them to my own children. I admit to being a little unsure about &#8220;Dr. Seuss&#8217; The Lorax&#8221; when it first came out. I wanted it to be a fun family film based on one of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories. Once we saw it, I was very pleased. We all enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to our friends.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3DXU1348PHg?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&#8220;The imaginative world of Dr. Seuss comes to life like never before in this visually spectacular adventure from the creators of\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Despicable Me<\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">!
