An animated rendition of Dr. Seuss's classic book about the threat of industrialization to nature, The Lorax opens in Thneedville--a town never depicted in the original book. Thneedville is an artificial place, made primarily from plastic. It sports inflatable trees, fast cars, and air quality so poor that the residents are forced to purchase bottled fresh air. In another new twist to the story, 12-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) discovers that his crush Audrey (Taylor Swift) wants nothing more than to see a long-extinct Truffula Tree, so he sets out to impress her by finding one. Since there are no real trees in Thneedville, Ted acts on the crazy stories of his grandmother (Betty White), venturing beyond the city's walls into the desolate wasteland to locate a mysterious creature called the Once-ler (Ed Helms). Here the story and animation begin to more closely follow the book. Ted discovers the grumpy recluse, who reluctantly begins to tell him a tale about a once-perfect landscape filled with beautiful Truffula Trees and cute frolicking animals--a landscape now decimated by one greedy young man's insatiable appetite for profit. The beauty and wonder of the Truffula forest and its creatures are right out of Dr. Seuss's illustrations. While the forest creatures may not be directly referred to as Brown Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish, the cute little bears, funny-looking ducks, and especially charming trio of singing fish are instantly recognizable. They serve, as they do in Dr. Seuss's book, to add just the right amount of humor and levity to what would otherwise be a pretty heavy-handed message from the Lorax (Danny DeVito) about environmental preservation. Ted's hormonal instincts to impress Audrey slowly begin to take a back seat to the plight of the lost trees and animals, and the Once-ler's assertion that "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better" rings true by the end of the film. The abundance of original music is a nice and unexpected addition to the story, though why neither Efron nor Swift actually gets to sing is perplexing. (Ages 5 and older) Tami Horiuchi

I had to break down and buy it because they keep taking it off the streaming services. It is the only movie I can stand to hear through and through in these moments. Thanks.

    Review of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax Combo Pack (Two Discs: Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet)

    I preordered this movie set a while ago, with the expected delivery date by August 7 (as advertised). The movie discs arrived today (August 7) as promised. Thank you, Amazon, for keeping your word.

    I was pleasantly surprised that the packaging was a standard bubble-lined envelope, instead of a medium/large box like the days of old. Less packaging, less materials to have to send out for recycling (in the true spirit of the movie's "save the planet" theme).

    I purchased the set that included blue-ray + DVD + digital copy + Ultraviolet access. As soon as I received the text message that it was delivered, I came home to watch the movie again with my daughter. She was eagerly anticipating the arrival of this movie, so suffice it to say that her hum drum summer day was instantly made by the opening of this package.

    The blu-ray movie clearly shows the intricacy of the animation. My daughter watches the DVD on her portable DVD player. The digital copy is accessible to my HTPC (home theater PC) so that we can watch the movie from almost anywhere at home. In addition, the ultraviolet copy allows you to keep a copy in the cloud, and to stream from any computer, iPad/tablet, iPhone, and more. So we're good to go.

    There are three new mini-movies included in the combo disc pack ("Wagon-ho," "Forces of Nature," and "Serenade"). These are available on both the blu-ray and DVD. Also included are:
    -The Making of the Mini-Movies
    -Deleted Scenes
    -Seuss to Scene
    -Once-ler's Wagon
    -Games
    -Sing-Along
    ... and other things we haven't tried.

    I initially thought the the DVD has the feature film + a few bonus features, and that no mini-movies are included on the DVD disc. It turns out that the DVD in this combo pack also includes the mini-movies, as well as the other bonus features (the making of the "mini-movies" and other bonus features that are also included in the blu-ray disc). It is possible that the 1-disc version (DVD only) only contains the feature film + bonus features, with no mini-movies included. I did not get the 1-disc (DVD only) version, so I cannot attest to this.

    The movie itself has been reviewed by many others here, so I will include a movie review with a later update. For now, I will keep this review on the packaging and discs.

    Yes, the movie follows the theme from the Dr. Seuss book, plus more. Drop in the bucket... save the world one tree at a time... don't waste precious resources... any situation can be made into a song and dance number. Take your pick. I don't really care much for the songs, none of which I could remember even after watching the movie in the theaters. Or maybe it's just me.

    "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." IMDB summary.

    The character voice overs are made up of an all-star cast, consisting of Danny Devito (The Lorax), Ed Helms (The Once-Ler), Zac Efron (Ted), Taylor Swift (Audrey), and Betty White (Grammy Norma). It is an interesting take on the story, but I was slightly disappointed with many of the book interpretation. Oh well.

    Probably the most relevant line from this story is the most appropriate in this day and age:

    "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    nothing is going to get better. It's not."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfektes und unterhaltsames 3D Erlebnis von Anfang bis Ende
    Reviewed in Germany on March 13, 2013
    Beinahe hätte ich mir diesen Film nicht gekauft, weil es Rezensionen gab wo etwas von schlechtem 3D stand usw. Zum Glück habe ich nicht darauf gehört und mich entschieden den Fim zu kaufen. Ich bin begeistert von dem Film. Er ist wirklich super schön. Es ist durchweg ein toller sehr unterhaltsamer Film in wirklich TOLLEM 3D von Anfang bis Ende. Echtes 3D eben, wie man es sich wünscht. Keiner dieser Filme mit fragwürdigem Pseudo-Umrechen-Quatsch oder mit zumindest umgerechneten Passagen oder so. Nach einigen Rezensionen hatte ich schon derartige Befürchtungen. Aber ich kann absolut nicht nachvollziehen wer dies aus welchem Grund so bewertet hat. Man muss von den 3 enthaltenen Disks natürlich auch die richtge einlegen.

    Es sind DREI Disks enthalten.

    1.) 3D Blu-Ray
    2.) "normale" Blu-Ray
    3.) eine Disk um sich den Fim digital herunterladen zu können

    Klar, mir ging es um die 3D-Versoin. Und diese habe ich geschaut und bin begeistert!
    Der Film ist wirklich sehr schön gemacht und es gibt immer viele hübsche Details zu entdecken.

    Natürlich darf man bei einem Familienfilm, welcher insbesondere für Kinder gemacht ist, keine schwerwiegende, verwickelte Story erwarten. Das wäre ja auch Unsinn. Ich habe mir den Film dennoch für mich als Erwachsenen gekauft und finde ihn wie gesagt wirklich sehr schön. Insbesondere eben was fürs Auge. Und das in schönstem 3D.

    Auf den Film selber will ich aber nicht weiter eingehen, mir ging es in erster Linie darum, zu versichern, dass es wirklich ein sehr schöner 3D Film ist und man also keine Sorge diesbezüglich haben muss. Wie gesagt, man muss von den 3 Disks welche enthalten sind natürlich dann auch die richtige einlegen.

    Eines noch: beim Einlegen der Disk klackerte mein Player (ein hochwertiger Panasonic 3D Blu-Ray-Player) erst lange rum und zeigte mir an, dass die Disk nicht erkannt wird. Ich war schon darauf vorbereitet jetzt einen Wutanfall bekommen zu müssen und auf die ganzen dummen Hersteller zu schimpfen....aber nach nochmaligem Einlegen startete die Disk dann normal.

    Das Cover ist übrigens ein Wendecover, so kann man es also umdrehen wenn man das FSK Zeichen nicht mit auf dem Cover sehen möchte.

    Neben aller wunderschönen Unterhaltung hat der Film sogar auch eine wertvolle Botschaft. Die wertvollste überhaupt: nämlich, dass wir es nicht zlassen dürfen, dass unsere Welt (Umwelt) aus Profitgier zerstört wird.

    Mal ganz nebenbei bemerkt: ...wir Menschen schauen seit Jahrzehnten mit unvorstellbar teurer und hochentwickelter Technik im ganzen Universum herum ob es nicht irgendwo einen Planeten mit einer klitzekleinen Bakterie gibt -was uns Menschen dann vor lauter Beglückung und Faszination ganz aus der Fassung bringen würde...ABER: wir HABEN und BEWOHNEN bereits den schönsten vorstellbaren Planeten. Mit einer Pracht und Vielfalt an Lebewesen und Pflanzen, blauem Himmel, Sonne, Blumen, Schmetterlingen usw usw.....und lassen es tagtäglich zu, dass dieser aus Profitgier unwiederbringlich zerstört wird! Nur weil einige wenige ihre asoziale GIER nicht befriedigen können. So lernt es ja auch jeder Betriebswirtschaftler in der ersten Stunde: Gewinnmaximierung ist das oberste Leit-Ziel und Ziel von allem was dann an "Wissen" vermittelt wird. Auf unser aller Kosten und der der Umwelt, Tiere, Pflanzen. Bitte wacht bloss endlich auf! Aber nein, stattdessen gucken wir ob auf dem Mars nicht irgendwo ein einziger TROPFEN gefrorenes Wasser zu finden ist, ein einzigster Tropfen....und hier haben wir OZEANE mit vielfältigen Fischen, Delfinen, Korallen, usw....die wir mit Müll und Chemie und Ölbohrungen verseuchen....

    Unless...
