The Lorax

It's a visual delight; all beautifully-designed 3D animation, detailed sight gags and unique characters shaped in Seuss's immediately recognisable style.

The Lorax earned 4 wins and 8 nominations, including nominations at the Annie Awards for Character Design and Music in an Animated Feature, wins at the ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards for Top Box Office Films, and recognition from the Cinema Audio Society. It also won an Environmental Media Award for its environmental message.

Twelve-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) lives in a place virtually devoid of nature; no flowers or trees grow in the town of Thneedville. Ted would very much like to win the heart of Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, but to do this, he must find that which she most desires: a Truffula tree. To get it, Ted delves into the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), once the gruff guardian of the forest, and the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who let greed overtake his respect for nature.
