This goes way way way waaaaay back into my childhood.
The lorax had been one of my most favourite stories i have ever read when i was really really young.
I had always liked the main character, the lorax in the story. I don't know why but since i was a child i was amused by the lorax and i had always thought he was a cute fuzzy little creature. After reading the story, i told myself i wish there was a lorax plush that existed so i could just give him a cuddle because i was very sad when i read at the end of the story that the lorax left.
THEN KA-BLAM! many many years later lorax plushies existed on the internet(and thank lord i was old enough to spend money online.)
In total now i have Four lorax plushies(but the other one is currently in Malaysia so i am gonna bring that plush back with me to Australia) and the other two is on it's way which i have just recently bought online :p
They're all different size and slightly look different. There is one which is made of natural products which is eco friendly.
Also, my friend knew how much i loved the lorax, and he told me there was a movie coming out. Wow, it was like a dream come true. My childhood memories coming to the big theater screen. Yeah yeah i know there is toy story 3 and all that. But hey, The Lorax goes way way back and this one has the biggest impact of nostalgia to me.
Recently, I have bought off the Movie Dvd set online. This set is only available at Walmart and there is no Walmart here in Australia or neither in Malaysia so the only place available was online. Thank lord for internet shopping.
* warning spoilers ahead *
So yes, i have watched the movie. I liked how bright and colourful the truffula trees are~
Oh my god they even got John Powell to compose the music :D He has composed musics for movies like How To Train Your Dragon. I looove love soundtrack music ♥
Though, i didn't expect the last scene of the movie to hit me so emotionally.
This scene had made me burst into tears.
I swear, i had always hated the once-ler in the storybook.
But when i watched this movie, i begin to sympathize for him.
Now the Once-ler is my new favourite character in the movie :)
I am so glad they made a movie out of this. You have no idea how happy i am that my favourite childhood storybook has got it's own movie.
The story of The Lorax will always remain in my heart and soul.
