    I dont really remember this dr. seuss book.

    I was really hoping they'd recreate the Lorax. That was always my favorite. It'd make a good 30 minute short.

    My dad used to have a box full of old Dr. Suess books from when he was a kid, and I remember Horton Hears a Who was his personal favorite. That first render looks AWESOME. As ebagg said, very "painterly" style.

    I would love to see The Lorax and The Butter Battle turned into 3D movies with that type of style. I didn't realize how political/ideological some of his books were till I recently looked them back up...I love the idea that a childrens book teaches the lesson of mutually assured destruction. I also read that his books are banned in some schools for being "too political" What that probably means is something more like "too liberal"

    Arr...we don't want to be teachin our children namby pamby, wishy washy environmentalist crap...thats for tree huggin hippies and people who appriciate the air they breath...the water they drink...and the land they live on...there could be a very profitable factory there...making ME more money. We can even use statistics to show that we have done a great service to mankind by increasing the economic potential of this previously impoverished, tree covered contry, when infact all that economic growth has only benefited the people who really deserve it...the wealthiest 1% of course!

    Sorry...just kinda spilled out tongue.gif

    I'm glad someone else knows about the butter battle. I bring that book up and nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about.

    Are you serious? Forget the 360, there isn't ANY hardware out there that could even come close to rendering that in real-time. It takes weeks for a 500 CPU render-farm to render this stuff, so you can forget about something like that running on an Xbox.

    I agree. THE LORAX.
    That book was so fucking awesome. Though, people might take it as a political message now days.

    Or maybe they could make a movie that contained a bunch of his shorter books?
    It'd have more than 1 book, and that'd be awesome.

    Are you serious? Dr. Seuss often used his work as a vessel for his political views!

    "Lorax" is quite obviously a story that protests deforestation and the growth of natural-resource-destroying big business. "The Butter Battle" clearly reflects the arms race of the Cold War era that it was written in; the two nations race for larger and larger weapons until the standoff threatens to consume them all.

    Books aren't always just about the pretty pictures. tongue.gif

    EDIT - Oops, didn't see you there, Cthogua. I agree that children should be asked to delve a bit further into Seuss' work. Messages taught by books like "Lorax" are increasingly important (and infinitely insightful).

    Okay, might was an understatement.
    They will, because it is.
    I'm just recalling my uncle and I watching the day after tommorow.
    He claimed it was all an anti-bush propaganda thingy.
