He sets out to find the one thing that enable him to win the affection of Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, who wishes to see a real tree. To do so, he must discover the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), a grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.
The film is directed by Chris Renaud, and co-directed by Kyle Balda. It was written by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul, the duo who also wrote the script for Blue Sky’s Horton Hears a Who!. Audrey Geisel, Dr. Seuss’s wife, is executive producer, and Chris Meledandri, who managed Horton Hears a Who! at Fox Animation, is producing the film.
The movie is fully fabricated in the French studio “Illumination Mac Guff”, which is the animation department of Mac Guff which has been acquired by Illumination Entertainment in Summer 2011.
