The Lorax

The FILM

Synopsis:

A 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world. (imdb)

I've seen the film many many times... haven't read the book.

And to think it's a children's book for crying out loud. Well, the only reason I saw the movie in the first place was because of my nephew. And it's not even bad. It has a good moral lesson, that is - taking very good care of our mother nature. And it's kind of a musical film too because there's lots of singing and very catchy music. I just find it kinda' weird why the trees look like that in this movie.

The characters of the film were voiced by Zac Efron (Ted), Taylor Swift (Audrey), Ed Helms (The Once-ler) and Danny DeVito (The Lorax).

Okay. So I found out that this was based from the children's book with the same title - The Lorax by Dr. Seuss and then boom! - the book cover. There's my answer to why the trees looked the way they looked in the movie (grin). Silly me!

The BOOK

And here are some of my favorite lines from the movie:

"A tree falls in the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean." - The Lorax

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better... it's not." - The Once-ler

"I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become. That's not just a seed... anymore than you're just a boy." - The Once-ler
