Today’s Blog Post
The Lorax and Me

As I sat last evening in the darkened theatre a whole lot of memories came flooding back. I was young again – very young. I had two little girls with me in this memory and both were excited about the movie we were watching. That was the memory. The girls were my daughters about 35 years ago… oh boy.

The movie theatre wasn’t a memory, it was a reality… and last evening was filled with kids of all ages… but mainly little kids of all ages.

Alida and I were sitting in one very full and packed out place with young families as we watched “The Lorax”… a knock out movie about trees and a kid that cares for one last tree nut to plant the one last tree.

The story is good for kids to hear… and it was Dr. Seuss telling it for us.

The music was great and the story line simple.

The number one thing that blew me away was the colour, the illustrations and animation. I was in overload by the time that it was over.

You should have seen the popcorn on the floor and the garbage. Think of your rumpus room with 300 kids in it for two hours… and think of the spills and the ooops… and then think no one stops to clean it up but simply walks in it after it is over.

Hey – last night I was young again… I giggle with the two 8 year old boys sitting beside me… and all the rest that laughed out loud in the theatre at certain times.

I highly recommend this one – you will love it. Take a kid with you if you can. If not become a kid for few hours. It will take years off your old body and mind.
