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.

That trick of " a film within a film ".. failed miserably.

It just doesn't haunt you in the same way the 1971 special did, and I think with this story, it's a weakness.

Entertaining adaptation of classic Seuss that doesn't lose the message yet still feels somewhat inflated. Song score a little weak yet story engaging with fair but nothing special voice casting present. Colourful and easy to watch and one does have to love the backing creatures birds, bears and especially goldfish. Much like 'Despicable Me" delivers laughs but lacks a heart.
