The Lorax

The Lorax is a 2012 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy comedy film directed by Chris Renaud, produced by Illumination Entertainment, based on Dr. Seuss' children's book of the same name following the 1972 animated television special, and starring the voices of Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate, and Betty White. It builds on the book by expanding the story of the Lorax and Ted, the previously unnamed boy who visits the Once-ler.

The film was released by Universal Pictures on March 2, 2012, which would have been Seuss's 108th birthday. It received mixed reviews from critics who praised its animation, musical score, and voice acting but criticized its characters. It also received backlash for its marketing, noting its contradictions to the book's message. The film grossed $348.8 million worldwide on a $70 million budget
