The Lorax Movie

Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss! On March 2, Dr. Seuss's birthday, The Lorax movie, based on the book by Dr. Seuss will be opening in theaters. While the movie is a bit different from the original book, including new characters and a different story line, the basic theme remains the same - everyone must choose wisely when using our Earth's natural resources.

In the movie, Ted learns from Audrey that there were once trees growing everywhere and she wishes that she could see one. Ted sets off into the desolate area outside of their plastic town to find a tree and meets a secretive being who tells the story of how the trees disappeared. Voiced by Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, many children will be flocking to this movie. Click here to watch the official movie trailer!
