International DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX Poster
The first international poster for the upcoming animated film Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax, produced by Illumination Entertainment and directed by Chris Renaud (Despicable Me) and Kyle Balda (animator on A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2 and Monsters. Inc.), has hit the Web.
Based on a children’s book written by Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and published for the first time way back in 1971, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax tells the story of a 12-year-old and his encounter with a creature called the Lorax. The cast is great and plays to every generation. Danny DeVito as the Lorax and adorable Zac Efron as Ted… But, here’s the really exciting part: Kids get to see the Once-ler’s face; in the book, Dr. Seuss only showed first-gen Lorax-fans his hands and arms.
Ted (Zac Efron), a lad with a big crush on Ashley (Taylor Swift). When she expresses a desire to see a real, live tree, Ted sets out from their heavily industrialised home to seek out the one person who might help him in his mission to track a tree down: The Once-ler (Ed Helms). But what he discovers is a tragic tale of greed over environmental care, as the Once-ler reveals how he chopped down all the trees in an effort to make himself rich via a product call Thneeds. And that’s despite the best efforts of furry tree-loving sprite The Lorax (Danny DeVito)
Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is set to be released on March 2nd 2012.
