I hate Atlantis Squarepantis because I did not like the jokes, hated the story, the characters had nothing to say or do that was humorous in any manner, and by the end, it left me feeling empty, with no positive element to remember it by.

Just because it doesn't have gross out jokes and other annoying cliches doesn't automatically make it good in my eyes. It wasted its time with jokes already told hundreds of times on the show, the characters, like I said, seemed like parodies of personality traits they had earlier in the show, references were thrown around with no rhyme or reason, and the Willy Wonka parody idea was interesting, but they didn't do anything with the idea, making it seem more like a rip-off than a parody.

I'm not saying my opinion is final, but hopefully now you understand why someone wouldn't enjoy it.

And as for The Lorax, I did enjoy certain aspects of it, but the songs were irritating to me, the message was hammered in so thick it left an indent in my skull, the voice acting ranged from decent (Danny DeVito) to awful (Taylor Swift, though I'm not just saying that because it's trendy to hate her music), and if you read the book or watched the animated short, you'll tell they ignored so many aspects of the original story for new and downright audience insulting plot elements and ideas.

It did have some positive elements, the atmosphere is there, and the Lorax character can get a chuckle or two out of me, but I find it to be an incredibly weak and annoying kids film. If you want a good feature length Dr. Seuss film... Well, I heard Horton Hears a Who wasn't bad...

Again, all opinion. I don't want to sound like an idiot, saying "Yeah well, your opinion is wrong", I just don't back down when explaining why I'm not a fan of something.
