![Dr. Seuss' The Lorax [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815CeY+KiKL.jpg)

Product Description The imaginative world of Dr. Seuss comes to life like never before in this visually spectacular adventure from the creators of Despicable Me! Twelve-year-old Ted will do anything to find a real live Truffula Tree in order to impress the girl of his dreams. As he embarks on his journey, Ted discovers the incredible story of the Lorax, a grumpy but charming creature who speaks for the trees. Featuring the voice talents of Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate, and Betty White, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is filled with hilarious fun for everyone!Bonus Content:Seuss to ScreenSeuss It Up!Once-ler's WagonFeature Commentary with Director Chris Renaud & Co-Director Kyle Balda desertcart.com An animated rendition of Dr. Seuss's classic book about the threat of industrialization to nature, The Lorax opens in Thneedville--a town never depicted in the original book. Thneedville is an artificial place, made primarily from plastic. It sports inflatable trees, fast cars, and air quality so poor that the residents are forced to purchase bottled fresh air. In another new twist to the story, 12-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) discovers that his crush Audrey (Taylor Swift) wants nothing more than to see a long-extinct Truffula Tree, so he sets out to impress her by finding one. Since there are no real trees in Thneedville, Ted acts on the crazy stories of his grandmother (Betty White), venturing beyond the city's walls into the desolate wasteland to locate a mysterious creature called the Once-ler (Ed Helms). Here the story and animation begin to more closely follow the book. Ted discovers the grumpy recluse, who reluctantly begins to tell him a tale about a once-perfect landscape filled with beautiful Truffula Trees and cute frolicking animals--a landscape now decimated by one greedy young man's insatiable appetite for profit. The beauty and wonder of the Truffula forest and its creatures are right out of Dr. Seuss's illustrations. While the forest creatures may not be directly referred to as Brown Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish, the cute little bears, funny-looking ducks, and especially charming trio of singing fish are instantly recognizable. They serve, as they do in Dr. Seuss's book, to add just the right amount of humor and levity to what would otherwise be a pretty heavy-handed message from the Lorax (Danny DeVito) about environmental preservation. Ted's hormonal instincts to impress Audrey slowly begin to take a back seat to the plight of the lost trees and animals, and the Once-ler's assertion that "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better" rings true by the end of the film. The abundance of original music is a nice and unexpected addition to the story, though why neither Efron nor Swift actually gets to sing is perplexing.

amazing movie
i love that it teaches young children to take care of the environment such a powerful message. i love that it showed the impact our choices can make but also gave hope we can turn it around if we work together. The animation, voice and storyline made this a win.

Great Moral Lesson in a Fun, Dr.Suess Package!
So many of Dr.Suess'books are made into modern day movies with an added innuendo for the adult's benefit. What I love about The Lorax is that it stays pure, aside from the obvious immoral dilemmas, and focuses on good, clean, family entertainment. As an adult, I always appreciate seeing books from my childhood, or any children's book made into film form, keep their integrity and innocence; After all, they're being made for children, not adults, the innuendo is just offensive. So I was thrilled to see the integrity upheld with this film, Suess would be proud! That said, I love the adaptation itself and how it includes the story while modernizing it to this day and age, creating a problem that could easily happen. The environmental issue is upon us, and while moviegoers might feel this is a bit shoved down there throat or even like an advocacy film, this is just the way of The Lorax. The vibrancy of the movie is amazing, I just love the colors and contasts of everything. The trees themselves, while looking more like cotton candy on a sick, are beautiful, as is the plastic, modern town itself. The creatures are adorable, and you can't help but fall in love with the cute little bears as they putter around, the fish as they walk on land, and even The Lorax himself as he goes out of his way to annoy and protect. The moral of the story is a strong one, and one that every child needs to watch, hear and hopefully understand. With the catchy music added, an exciting side plot and crush, most kids won't have a hard time following this at all. This movie happens to be the very one me and my now boyfriend chose for our first date almost a year ago, and we both loved it. We watched it again tonight with my six year old, who objected thinking it was a "baby movie", but then she sat through it enthralled and laughing. It was nice watching it again for us also and remembering that first date, and how the movie teared us both up. But I digress. A great film, highly recommended, five stars +

Beinahe hätte ich mir diesen Film nicht gekauft, weil es Rezensionen gab wo etwas von schlechtem 3D stand usw. Zum Glück habe ich nicht darauf gehört und mich entschieden den Fim zu kaufen. Ich bin begeistert von dem Film. Er ist wirklich super schön. Es ist durchweg ein toller sehr unterhaltsamer Film in wirklich TOLLEM 3D von Anfang bis Ende. Echtes 3D eben, wie man es sich wünscht. Keiner dieser Filme mit fragwürdigem Pseudo-Umrechen-Quatsch oder mit zumindest umgerechneten Passagen oder so. Nach einigen Rezensionen hatte ich schon derartige Befürchtungen. Aber ich kann absolut nicht nachvollziehen wer dies aus welchem Grund so bewertet hat. Man muss von den 3 enthaltenen Disks natürlich auch die richtge einlegen. Es sind DREI Disks enthalten. 1.) 3D Blu-Ray 2.) "normale" Blu-Ray 3.) eine Disk um sich den Fim digital herunterladen zu können Klar, mir ging es um die 3D-Versoin. Und diese habe ich geschaut und bin begeistert! Der Film ist wirklich sehr schön gemacht und es gibt immer viele hübsche Details zu entdecken. Natürlich darf man bei einem Familienfilm, welcher insbesondere für Kinder gemacht ist, keine schwerwiegende, verwickelte Story erwarten. Das wäre ja auch Unsinn. Ich habe mir den Film dennoch für mich als Erwachsenen gekauft und finde ihn wie gesagt wirklich sehr schön. Insbesondere eben was fürs Auge. Und das in schönstem 3D. Auf den Film selber will ich aber nicht weiter eingehen, mir ging es in erster Linie darum, zu versichern, dass es wirklich ein sehr schöner 3D Film ist und man also keine Sorge diesbezüglich haben muss. Wie gesagt, man muss von den 3 Disks welche enthalten sind natürlich dann auch die richtige einlegen. Eines noch: beim Einlegen der Disk klackerte mein Player (ein hochwertiger Panasonic 3D Blu-Ray-Player) erst lange rum und zeigte mir an, dass die Disk nicht erkannt wird. Ich war schon darauf vorbereitet jetzt einen Wutanfall bekommen zu müssen und auf die ganzen dummen Hersteller zu schimpfen....aber nach nochmaligem Einlegen startete die Disk dann normal. Das Cover ist übrigens ein Wendecover, so kann man es also umdrehen wenn man das FSK Zeichen nicht mit auf dem Cover sehen möchte. Neben aller wunderschönen Unterhaltung hat der Film sogar auch eine wertvolle Botschaft. Die wertvollste überhaupt: nämlich, dass wir es nicht zlassen dürfen, dass unsere Welt (Umwelt) aus Profitgier zerstört wird. Mal ganz nebenbei bemerkt: ...wir Menschen schauen seit Jahrzehnten mit unvorstellbar teurer und hochentwickelter Technik im ganzen Universum herum ob es nicht irgendwo einen Planeten mit einer klitzekleinen Bakterie gibt -was uns Menschen dann vor lauter Beglückung und Faszination ganz aus der Fassung bringen würde...ABER: wir HABEN und BEWOHNEN bereits den schönsten vorstellbaren Planeten. Mit einer Pracht und Vielfalt an Lebewesen und Pflanzen, blauem Himmel, Sonne, Blumen, Schmetterlingen usw usw.....und lassen es tagtäglich zu, dass dieser aus Profitgier unwiederbringlich zerstört wird! Nur weil einige wenige ihre asoziale GIER nicht befriedigen können. So lernt es ja auch jeder Betriebswirtschaftler in der ersten Stunde: Gewinnmaximierung ist das oberste Leit-Ziel und Ziel von allem was dann an "Wissen" vermittelt wird. Auf unser aller Kosten und der der Umwelt, Tiere, Pflanzen. Bitte wacht bloss endlich auf! Aber nein, stattdessen gucken wir ob auf dem Mars nicht irgendwo ein einziger TROPFEN gefrorenes Wasser zu finden ist, ein einzigster Tropfen....und hier haben wir OZEANE mit vielfältigen Fischen, Delfinen, Korallen, usw....die wir mit Müll und Chemie und Ölbohrungen verseuchen.... Unless...

I have liked Dr Seuss stories from a young age and have been drawn to every adaptation based on his many creative tales. I tend to prefer the animated ones over the live-action ones, and very often the sheer peculiarity of the stories and their characters makes the choice of being animated almost default. Fortunately, The Lorax is an animated adaptation of Dr Seuss's tale about a town that had all-but forgotten what actual trees were, and were living out their lives in an almost Orwellian bubble of plastic existence and buying bottles of 'air' from an overbearing corporation. Granted, the 'trees' in the story don't visually resemble what we know as trees, but you get the point. The lead character ventures out to try to find out what went on, and in doing so learns about how previous generations exploited the trees and didn't value their worth to both to nature and the environment as a whole. Ultimately, the story ends nicely, and you are left with a feeling that very often occurs with most Dr Seuss stories, in that in reality this is a fable not just a story, in that there are moral lessons to be learned. We do need more trees and shouldn't take this planet's natural resources for granted. The Woodland Trust ran some Lorax promotions during this film's launch to try to encourage more tree-planting and increased awareness, but I wonder how many people just view films such as these as pure Hollywood fantasy without realising the connection to the real world and the differences we can each make to the environment. A great film which the family will enjoy, but remembering the lessons that fables try to teach us would stay true to Dr Seuss's philosophies, and that can easily get lost under the Hollywood sheen.
