Another thing is just how f*cking OVER marketed kids movies are these days. Granted, toys and products for children's films have ALWAYS flooded the market, but the commercialism is so ridiculous now... I mean, look at Wall-E... a good movie (the first half being AMAZING) about environmentalism and a satire of commercialism, but how are we supposed to buy into it if there is WALL-E EVERYTHING when you walk into any store in the world?
And don't even get me started on the Lorax being used to shill SUVs...

Way off topic, but seriously, in the last few decades has there been any beloved author who has had their work f*cked up more than Dr. Seuss? This guy must be doing cartwheels in his grave.
