After delivering the massive hit Despicable Me, Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have teamed up again for an adaptation of Dr. Suess‘ beloved book The Lorax. Before delivering Despicable Me 2 in summer 2013, co-director Chris Renaud has teamed up with Ken Daurio for this adaptation arriving this spring.
With a voice cast featuring Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle and Betty White, we now have the first teaser poster for the film, which you can check out below via Yahoo. Accompanying that is an early glimpse at some footage from the film (via CartoonBrew/Sina). I’m avoiding it in an effort to wait for full release, but you can see it below until it gets pulled.
Synopsis:
Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment bring to life the classic fable about a forest creature, the consequences of greed and the enduring power of hope in the 3D animated feature Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax.
Danny DeVito will lend his vocal talents to the iconic title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms voices the enigmatic Once-ler. Global superstar Zac Efron is Ted, the idealistic young boy who searches for the Lorax. Rob Riggle plays financial king O’Hare, and beloved actress Betty White portrays Ted’s wise Grammy Norma.
The Lorax hits theaters on March 2, 2012.
