Based upon the book by Dr. Seuss (whose name is officially part of the
title), THE LORAX has been contemporized a bit making it accessible to
not only super-environmental-types, but to those who were raised upon
conservation and not environmentalism. In THE LORAX, Ted (Zac Efron) is a
twelve-year-old boy who lives in the plasticized, walled city of
Thneedville. Ted is in love with a teenage girl named Audrey (Taylor
Swift). Audrey doesn't quite fit in Thneedville and paints the back of
her house full of colorful trees which no longer exist. She longs to see
a real tree and Ted becomes determined to find one for her. During
dinner one night, Ted's Grammy Norma (Betty White) tells Ted that in
order to find out what happened to the trees and if there's another one
to be found, he needs to speak with the Once-ler (Ed Helms) who lives
outside the city walls. Ted has never been outside the city, but sets
out on a mission to meet the Once-ler and find a tree. He succeeds in
finding the creature on the edge of town and the Once-ler tells Ted his
story of how he started life off as an industrious, young man with a
heart who just wanted to be a success, how he found a valley of
paradise, and how he met The Lorax (Danny Devito). Before the story is
through, the Once-ler's tale will merge with Ted's and perhaps revive
the valley again.
