There are three main characters in this movie. The main character name is Ted who lives in Thneed-Ville. Thneed-Ville which Ted lives in is an artificial city. All things including trees, beach, and flowers are made from artificial matters such as electric bulbs and balloons. One day, Ted found the house which was isolated from the downtown. When Ted got to the house, he met a man whose name is Once-ler, and he told his story to Ted. According to his story, a long time ago, there were plenty of trees in Thneed-Ville, and many creatures lived in Thneed-Ville. To earn his fortune, However, Once-ler cut whole trees and kicked out animals including Lorax who is a guardian of the forest. As a result, Thneed-Ville wasn't able to live any creatures, and Once-ler lost his all money because there are no more trees in the area. Later, Once-ler made an apology for his fault and gave the last seed of a magic tree to Ted. Finally, Ted planted the seed and people could recover their previous life.
This movie can think about several problems which are around us. First, this movie talked about materialism. In this movie, Once-ler destroyed the forest to earn his money. He didn't care about other elements such as animal’s habitat and eco-system. He just only focused on his fortune, and finally he lost his whole materials. This shows a typical example of materialism very clearly. Second, this movie talked about ecology. Due to the destruction of the environment, no one could live in Thneed-Ville. As a result, people made their city by using artificial things, and also they had to buy an oxygen tank to live in the city. This scene shows how important the clean environment is.
In conclusion, the motive of this movie is quite good and the graphic of the movie is well-rendered. So, I would give three stars(★★★☆☆) to this movie.
