A lorax tries to "speak for the trees" when Onceler moves into his beautiful country and destroys it by chopping down trees and causing pollution. So-so animation and some truly nauseating songs got on my nerves, but young kids may like it. It's very pro-environment and (when it sticks to dialogue) is kind of fun. Also very short (25 min). So, good for the kids but a bit much for adults.
