The brains behind Despicable Me bring a lesser-known Dr Seuss story to the big screen. And we're got the first poster for The Lorax, here.
One of the best, but underappreciated, computer animated movies of recent times has been Fox’s Horton Hears A Who!, a delightful take on the Dr Seuss story. It surprises us, in the aftermath of that, that more Dr Seuss stories weren’t tapped into for feature films. But Illumination Entertainment, the team behind Despicable Me and Hop, might just have picked the right one to tackle.
They’re hard at work on The Lorax, the Dr Seuss story about the grumpy Lorax of the title, who is fighting to protect his world. We saw some early concept work on this a year or two back, and back then, it was looking glorious, although that was very early into the project.
The film is being directed by Chris Renaud, who helmed Despicable Me, and is scheduled for release next March. Renaud also worked as a story artist on Horton Hears A Who!.
Anyway, the first poster for The Lorax has popped up over at Yahoo!, and, if for nothing else than to bring the existence of the film to your attention, we figured we should run it.
