What it's about:
The 3D-CGI feature Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is an adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope.
The animated adventure follows the journey of a boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.
What we thought:
From the very start Dr. Seuss' The Lorax takes you on an epic journey, an animated world filled with colour, song, dance and of course, a moral to the story. Because let's face it, what would an animation be without having 'a moral of the story'?
In this case, like many other animations before, the moral of the story is: Love. Yes, love. However shallow or cliché that may sound, The Lorax deals with love in all its different forms. The love between a boy and a girl, the love (that should be) between man and nature, love for one's family, for strangers: the kind of love that makes anything possible.
Your probably thinking, "Lame!" But to be quite honest, who doesn't like a feel-good movie every once in a while to awake hope for mankind in us all once again?
The movie follows idealistic Ted (Zac Efron) who goes on a search to find the protector of nature, The Lorax (Danny DeVito), in his quest to win the affection of the girl he's in love with, Audrey (Taylor Swift). In his search he encounters the Once-ler (Ed Helms) who lives outside the town walls, who in the end helps Ted to find the one thing that will win Audrey's love.
The movie also boasts Bettie White as the charming and quirky Grammy Norma and Jenny Slate as Ted's mom.
I really don't want to give too much away about this movie, except that it will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you feel super good…and you'll probably want to go and plant a tree afterwards.
