One of the trickier names to try and adapt for the big screen has been Dr. Seuss. Be it the fallible live-action takes on The Grinch and The Cat In The Hat or the shockingly watchable Horton Hears A Who, the big screen takes on Seuss’ works have been hit or miss.
And now it’s The Lorax‘s turn.
The first trailer for the upcoming Chris Renaud-directed take on the tale has hit, and it is quite stunning. Watch it here below.
The film stars Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, Ed Helms, Betty White, Taylor Swift, and Rob Riggle, and will follow a boy who, to impress the girl of his dreams, tries to hunt down a tree, only to discover The Lorax and the world he inhabits.
Renaud helmed Despicable Me, and you can definitely see his style in this trailer, so as being a fan of that film, hopes are indeed high for this sucker. I really quite dig this trailer, so here’s to hoping it can live up to the potential here.

Cautiously optimistic. For all we know, those could be all the best parts.Â
