Umm the movie was really...touching. This guy was barfing next to me the whole time and it made me feel so good and refreshed, the smell of warm puke in the morning. It really just changed my life. The way the elephant jumped over the moon it made my heart sing!!!!The baby next to me had a little bit of a messie diaper. I loved it. It couldn't have been a better movie. Oh and I accidently farted on my grandma during the scary part.

I also think that the filmmakers demonstrated great imagination in incorporating other forms of animation in brief sequences throughout the film. This included a Dr. Seuss-style illustrated sequence, and a Pokemon-style anime sequence. Who says you have to be limited by computer animation when telling a story?

I have to disagree that it was the worst computer animation, have seen a lot worse. Shrek didn't impress me in the animation department, a lot of newer Disney films have looked horrible (excluding Pixar films & Meet the Robinsons). To me I felt finally someone got what a Dr. Seuss story should like. I felt they were very true to the illustrations in Dr Suess books (I have read them to my 3 kids repeatedly over the last 16 years). Grinch & Cat in the Hat were horrible films (find the original cartoons which are great) 7 of us went ranging in ages from 2 - 39. We all loved the film and its amazing to have a family movie that has a positive message, which is so rare these days. And too hear my 2 year old nephew belly laugh for 90 minutes is precious.

I was very excited taking my little brother to see this movie. However, I seemed to have found it very disappointing. To me, its one of the worst computer animated movies I've ever seen.

You're correct... once you consider the source. It's just that Hollywood so frequently misuses the source. It surprised me that they got it right this time. Even Ron Howard didn't get it right in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

You have made me interested in seeing this because I had no faith that Hollywood could get it right. "Surprisingly, there is a simplified parable of philosophy to be gleaned from the story." Considering the source, it's not surprisingly at all. Many of the Dr's stories are parables: The Loraz, The Sneetches, etc.
