52. The Lorax (2012)- Chris Renaud, Kyle Balda

The Lorax Trailer

"I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues." The Lorax is one of, if not my favorite of Dr. Seuss' tales. It follows the protector of the forrest, the Lorax (aka God), and his quest to be the voice of the animals, and those who cannot speak for themselves, the trees. It is cautionary story about protecting the environment, because everyone benefits from each other, and needs to do so for survival. It also shows that if you become greedy and chop down a bunch of trees, you will end up living in a dark land, in a creepy house by yourself, with an outfit that makes the Keebler elves look stylish. Anyway, this movie was very cute, and definitely worth seeing. The only issue I had was that the cast's voices were too recognizable for anyone over like 9. With Danny Devito as the "Lorax," all I could picture was a scene in "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia"...with a huge 70s 'stache.
