Dr. Seuss film adaptations have been both good and bad. How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Horton Hears a Who were wild and humorous, good interpretations of the respected children's author. The Cat in the Hat was interesting, but it failed to bring in a respectable amount of money at the box office. Universal Studios, the studio who distributed The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas is hard at work at another Dr Seuss classic The Lorax. This creature is the sworn protector of Truffula tree, known for the soft material they produce. When noisy intruders come to his forest for the trees, the grumpy, lovable, and furry little creature will stop at nothing to keep his forest safe. Universal has had trouble portraying a classic character in the film form, and by the looks of the furry mustache and the voice actor, I think he will be well accepted. The equally short Danny Devito will voice the environmentalist. Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Rob Riggle, and of course, Betty White will also star in the film. The movie will be released in 3D in 2012, so we’re going to have to wait a while. –Alex
