My name is Amber and I speak for the trees! So far I have been very impressed with the Dr. Seuss movies and the way they have changed animation forever. The studio has taken average stories like Horten Hears a Who and turns them into beautiful stories. The Lorax has a way of bringing not only heart and joy to the screen but not being afraid to attack the problems with society. As soon as I heard The Lorax was being made into a movie, I was very excited! That is one of my favorite Dr. Suess stories. I loved the Lorax and how he spoke for the trees. I loved that the trees were call Thruffla Trees and they were fuzzy and wonderful. This movie does not disappoint, it takes you deeper into the story than the book did.
Our story starts with Ted and young boy trying to impressed the girl next door Audrey. These characters are voiced by Zac Efron and Taylor Swift. Ted swoons over Audrey and finds out that the one thing she wants more than anything is a real live tree. They live in a city where everything is mechanical and made out of metal and plastic. There are no real plants and trees. Ted asks his grandmother, voiced by Betty White, where he can find a tree. She sends him out of town to the Once-ler, voiced by Ed Helms.
The Once-ler tells Ted a story about how lovely the forest was in the area until one day it was too late to save it. Ted learns about The Lorax, voiced by Danny Devito, a magical creature that speaks for the trees. The film then follows the story with heart and some very fun songs. It shows kids how easy it is to get caught up in greed and only thinking of yourself. It teaches them to keep their eyes open to the problems in the world around them.
The story is very innocent and fantastic for young kids. It does not have adult humor but good hearted stories. The music is fun and it will help entertain the little ones. I say go see it on a Sunday afternoon with the family. It is a sweet movie that will....WILL make you smile!
