"Trenchcoats. Cigarettes. Revolvers. Femme Fatales."
Journey back to a time when crime movies were populated by grifters, coppers, twists and molls, when heroes were fallible, sex was a weapon, and the only thing that was black-and-white was the film.

Illumination Entertainment — the Universal-owned production company that burst onto the scene in 2010 with its wildly successful animated feature debut, Despicable Me — has released a new theatrical trailer for its latest animated feature, The Lorax, exclusively to Yahoo that not only contains new footage from the movie, but includes an introduction by the Lorax himself, Danny DeVito.
Adapted from Dr. Seuss' classic children's story about the dangers of corporate greed and environmental destruction, The Lorax follows a young boy named Ted (voiced by Zac Efron) who lives in a world where everything is plastic and there are no plants or animals. After hearing stories from his grandmother (Betty White) about how alive the world used to be, Ted sets out in search of the Once-ler (Ed Helms) in order to discover the truth about what happened to all of the Truffula Trees and to win the affection of the girl (Taylor Swift) of his dreams.

Illumination Entertainment proved that it could compete in the competetive CG-animated movie marketplace, with its 2010 inaugural debut, Despicable Me- which not only charmed critics, but became a monster hit at the box office, easily besting DreamWorks Animation's similarly-themed 2010 release, MegaMind. For its second fully CG-animated movie, Illumination tackles one of the most beloved stories by one of America's most beloved authors, The Lorax, Dr. Seuss' classic children's story about the dangers of corporate greed and environmental destruction.
The first trailer for The Lorax debuted last month and we got to see a a bit more footage when an international trailer was released earlier this month. Now, Illumination has released a featurette that introduces some of the characters in the movie and gives us a look behind the scenes of the making of the movie, with commentary from voice actors Zac Efron ("Ted"), Taylor Swift ("Audrey"), Ed Helms ("Once-ler"), Betty White ("Grammy Norma"), Rob Riggle ("O'Hare") and Danny DeVito ("The Lorax").

Illumination Entertainment has released the first image from its 3D CG-animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic children's story about corporate greed and environmental destruction, The Lorax. First published in 1971, The Lorax chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax, a furry, diminutive advocate for the trees ("as the trees have no tongues") against the Once-ler, whose corporation is destroying the forests of Truffula Trees, starving the Bar-ba-Loots, choking the song from the Swomee Swans and poisoning the waters of the Humming Fish. It is told through the perspective of a young boy who goes in search of the Once-ler to try to find out why the world is so ugly. The movie will follow the opening of the book, with Zac Efron voicing a young boy named Ted (named after Dr. Seuss' real name, Theodor "Ted" Geisel) who searches for the Once-ler (Ed Helms, The Office) after his grandmother (Betty White) tells him how colorful the world used to be. Danny DeVito will lend his voice to the Lorax.
