More details about The Lorax and where you can watch

In The Lorax, twelve-year-old Ted lives in Thneedville, a synthetic city where all plant life has disappeared. When he discovers that his dream girl, Audrey, yearns to see a real tree, Ted seeks out the mysterious Once-ler, who once lived in a lush forest with Truffula trees. The Once-ler recounts how unchecked industrial greed led to the destruction of nature and the disappearance of the Lorax, who “speaks for the trees.” Inspired to make a difference, Ted confronts the greedy Mr. O’Hare and rallies his town to plant a new tree, bringing hope back to Thneedville. The film blends humor, heart, and environmental themes while expanding on the original book’s message.
