I have come to a conclusion about this movie. You either loved it or hated it. Everyone I spoke to about it found no gray area. Loved or hated. I am one that loved it. As far as movies that added to the length of the original text, this one did a pretty good job at keeping the core story there. This has always been one of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories so I was pretty sure I was going to be disappointed with the film adaptation. However, I loved the corny musical style of it and it is a huge hit at our house. My one year old has never responded to a movie like this one. Dancing, clapping, cuteness...
Here's the meal.
I didn't want to bake an entire batch of cupcakes so I made muffins instead. The Truffela trees are made out of lollipop sticks and cotton candy. The flower is made out of leftover candy melt I had from making the Lorax mustaches.
Truffela fruit (grapes), Brown Barbaloots (chocolate teddy grahams) and their favorite snack marshmallows, humming fish (goldfish), humming fish in gluppity glup (goldfish spaghetti-o's), muckity muck (baked beans), The Onceler's money salad, and a tree stump (hamburger).
The barbaloots were so yummy...
and quite possible the cutest little Lorax ever. The mustaches are made from a candy mold I already had. Now I know that I did not accurately portray the Lorax's mustache (his is yellow). I only had orange on hand and after the morning I had there was no way on this planet I was taking these three wild things into the store for yellow candy-melts. Adelyn was very upset and quick to point out my error. Hence why she is not in a Lorax mustache picture. I couldn't be frustrated with her though, because deep down it intensely bothered me too, lol! So let us pretend it is yellow :)
