Synopsis

The feature-length adaptation of the Dr. Seuss story from Illumination Entertainment follows the journey of a 12-year-old named Ted who befriends the girl of his dreams and finds out that the she is fascinated by trees and foliage despite them living in a city of plastic and inflatables. Ted is then told to see the Once-ler beyond the city walls to find out what happened to the trees and where to find one. As he is told the story of the origins of Thneedville, the Truffula trees and a creature called the “Lorax”, he is soon put into the position the “Lorax” was in: to fight for the world that was. —The Forbidden D.B.
