So Dr. Seuss' grumpy forest-dwelling critter comes to life in this funny, touching and beautifully animated adventure. Twelve-year-old Ted will do anything to find a real Truffula Tree in order to impress the girl of his dreams. Outwitting the powerful Mr O’Hare to leave the plastic village of Thneed-Ville for the first time, he tracks down the elusive Once-ler and discovers the incredible story of how The Lorax failed to save the forest from destruction many years ago. Entrusted with the one remaining Truffala Tree seed, Ted faces a race against time to plant the tree in the centre of town before Mr. O’Hare confiscates it. Infused with bright colours and catchy musical numbers, you can’t help but leave the cinema with a smile on your face.
The actors behind the animated characters include the famous Danny DeVito as The Lorax, Zac Efron as Ted, who is trying to win the heart of Audrey (voiced by Taylor Swift). This film really captures the 'Seuss-ness' which has been missing from previous adaptations.
