Movie Afternoon - The Lorax

Movie Summary:

Dr Suess' The Lorax 3D is the animated movie version of the well loved children’s book written by Dr Seuss in the 1970's. It tells the story of Ted (voiced by ZacEfron) a 12 year old boy living in the tree-less world of Kneedsville. When the girl of his dreams, Audrey (Taylor Swift), wishes for a real tree Ted makes it his mission to find one and win her affections. His journey takes him beyond the walls of Kneedsville and into the dark beyond where the land has been punished by the world’s consumerism and where living creatures no longer exist. Well none except for one, the Once-ler (voiced by Ed Helms), who lives amidst the pollution as a punishment for his early mistakes.

Unimpressed by Ted's request to find a real tree the Once-ler attempts to dissuade Ted by telling the story of his youth, his obsession with the Truffala tree and the demise of his friendship with the Lorax, the guardian of the forest.

This film touches on environmental themes of:
