Movie for March Holiday 2012

Today is the start of the holidays, so took youngest to see this animated movie....

                           You don’t mess with an environmentalist, especially if he’s orange!

“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.”

The movie Lorax is voiced by Taylor Swift as Audrey, Zac Efron as Ted and Betty White as Grandma

Taylor Swift at the premiere.

Seventy-five years ago, Theodor Geisel wrote the first of his 44 popular books for children under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Included among such fanciful classics as The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham , and The Lorax. 

One of the most recognizable quotes from The Lorax is:

"I speak for the trees. 

I speak for the trees, 

for the trees have no tongues."

The film follows Ted (Zac Efron), an idealistic young boy who lives in “Thneed-Ville” a city that is completely artificially designed except for its people. He sets out to find the one thing that will win him the affection of Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, who wishes to see a real tree. While attempting to find a seed, he meets the reclusive Once-ler (Ed Helms) and discovers the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), a grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.

Just remember that we all can make a difference when it comes to global warming and protecting our planet. To quote The Lorax, “Unless someone like you…cares a whole awful lot…nothing is going to get better…It’s not.”

Here is my review of the movie: visually attractive, nice songs, a bonus that Taylor Swift and Zac Efron are voicing the main leads, and I cannot believe this book was written in 1971!!! Totally visionary, absolutely relevant and definitely current!!!!
