The Lorax (2012)
A 12-year-old boy named Ted Wiggins lives in Thneedville, a walled city where all vegetation and plant life are artificial. Ted has a crush on a girl named Audrey and decides to impress her with a “real tree”. His grandmother Norma tells him the legend of the Once-ler, who knows what happened to the trees. Leaving Thneedville in search of the Once-ler, Ted discovers that the outside world is a barren, contaminated wasteland. He finds the elderly Once-ler who agrees to tell him the story of the trees over multiple visits.
The next time he leaves home, Ted encounters Thneedville’s greedy mayor Aloysius O’Hare whose company sells bottled oxygen to the polluted city. Explaining that trees and the oxygen they produce freely pose a threat to his business, O’Hare pressures Ted to stay in town, but Ted continues to visit the Once-ler. The Once-ler recounts how, as a young inventor, he arrived in a lush forest of animals and Truffula trees. Cutting down a tree, he was confronted by the Lorax, the guardian of the forest who “speaks for the trees”. After attempting to force the Once-ler out, the Lorax convinced him not to cut down any more trees.
