      Old Lacey Tales: Who Changed the World?

      As far as the story itself is concerned, this is a positive, environmentally friendly, and healthy environmental theme story. The pictures are colorful and the shapes are super cute, which makes them very suitable for children to watch. However, due to the plot arrangement and presentation techniques of this film, many people think that it is only suitable for children under the age of ten. But I think this "simple" film should convey a more "simple" truth: women change the...

      The Story of Old Reis Inspiring Young People

      He is also a producer, but compared to the Despicable Me of that year, although the style is the same, the laughs are less to the level that only six-year-old children can watch. More than half of the top ten North American box office charts are this animation
      theme every year. It is also nothing new for environmental protection. In an unknown world, a boy destroys all the trees in order to make money, and another boy plants trees for a girl to find tree species. A tycoon who makes a...

      "The Story of Old Leth": Why is mediocrity so fast?

      Maybe because "Despicable Me" surprised me so much that I was looking forward to "The Story of Old Lacey". In my opinion, Guangguang Entertainment Studio is a team full of spirituality. Although they have made a brainless and cute movie like "Save the Bunny", it also makes me full of confidence in their new animation work.

      However, when the singing and dancing scene appeared for the first time in the movie, I started to feel dizzy. Because I have to sing Disney-style lines, and the...

      Dr. Seuss' The Lorax

      This is a film that wears the "environmental protection" coat, but it is a film that makes people "think", "question" and "strive for"! What we do may not feel great at first, but it's like a line in a movie: It's not about whit it is, it's about what it can become. Americans don't just tell a simple story To be the main feature of a schedule, simply play a straightforward environmental protection promotional video, you can only say that you are really just a child who can only watch cartoons....

    Positive review

    Although the film is full of familiar routines, it is still a work that can bring a refreshing feeling, because the protagonists are so cute. ( Comment by Christian Science Monitor ) Every character in the film has been carefully designed. After watching the whole film, I feel as happy as eating candy. ( Richard Roeper web review ) It's   like a "Robot Story" that lacks originality, but it's still full of life and moving. (...e

    Negative reviews

    Although the film has perfect visual effects, it still only indulges in it. From the perspective of the film's line design and character creation, it still lacks the artistic charm of cartoons. ( Village Voice review ) This is a movie that is difficult to find faults, but it is also difficult to find its highlights, because the film lacks surprises from beginning to end, and all the stages are so familiar. ( Newark Star-Ledger review )...

    Movie quotes

    • Ted's Mom: Why do you need a tree? It just... sticks out of the ground and it does what? I don't even know what it does. Look! We've GOT a tree! It's the Oak-a-matic! Three modes! Summer, Fall, Winter, and... Disco!

      [starts dancing]

      Ted's Mom: Come on, honey, dance with the tree.

      Ted: Oh, it hurts, mom. Please stop.

    • Once-ler: It's a girl, isn't it?

      Ted: What? No!

      Once-ler: Really. Because when a guy does something stupid once, well, that's because he's guy. But he does the same stupid thing twice, that's usually to impress some girl.

    • The Lorax: Which way does a tree fall?

      Once-ler: Uh... down?

      The Lorax: A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.
