Interesting, the first Illumination’s “Lorax”<\/a> trailer finally came out. You will probably find some visual similarities with “Horton hears a Who” as “Lorax” is also based on Dr Seuss’ illustrated books and Maurice Nobel’s interpretation in that 1972 short film<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now “Lorax<\/a>” seems to have a more lighted tone that the book and short film but it definitely looks much more serious than also Mac Guff produced “Despicable Me”. I hope it gets a good reception by the public. As noted by Sergio Pablos in that recent “Frame by Frame” interview<\/a>, comedies are much safer to market and sell to investors and the wider audience. <\/p>\n

Illumination is taking a gamble by adapting the long time seen controversial Lorax book to the screen, let’s see if the aura created by Despicable Me and soon coming Despicable Me 2 will help to propel “Lorax” and Mac Guff to the level of an other studio known to regularly take similar gambles, namely Pixar, and establishes Mac Guff as a new solid player in that feature animation top 5.<\/p>\n

And here is the Maurice Noble’s art directed short film if you haven’t seen it yet.<\/p>\n
