So...they've remade The Lorax

Just saw the commercial for The Lorax on ...TNT or some channel - I'm watching Law and Order.

I had the sound down...but the main character, according to the commercial...is a young boy. At one point he is tugged down to the ground by a young girl.

I turned the sound on just to hear, "We don't have time for kissing," and the boy says, "We have a little time for that."

Yep, let's inject sex into a story for kids. More than that, let's inject it into the Lorax story!

The Lorax is a Dr. Seuss story that was filmed for TV thirty years ago. An unseen character visits the only man in an abandoned factory in an abandoned town, in a land with all its trees cut down and so on. The man tells the story of the Lorax, a creature who had come to the factory when it was in the city of a thriving town and a thriving green area around it - but they'd cut down everything and destroyed the environment in the area.

Now, for this movie, the Lorax is apparently still there (the last thing shown on the commercial was the Lorax looking out of the O in the title The Lorax - the only time we actually see it) but the main characters are a boy, and a girl, and her aunt or mom or someone who doesn't want the two of them to kiss.

Bleck.
