When DR. SEUSS' THE LORAX arrives on Blu-ray™ 3D Combo Pack and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack August 7th, the home entertainment release will contain dozens of extras including never-before-seen mini-movies made exclusively for the home release.
Featuring the voices of Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate and Betty White, the box office animated hit comes to family homes in a 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and Digital copy, but the high-definition copies contain tons of bonus features missing from the DVD and Digital copy. The Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me, Hop) release includes three mini movies; Serenade, Wagon-ho-Two, and Forces of Nature. To view a trailer of the new mini movies, watch below.
Danny DeVito (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Twins, L.A. Confidential) lends his unmistakable voice to the Lorax, the remarkable creature who “speaks for the trees,” with Ed Helms (The Hangover, The Hangover Part II, “The Office”) as his enigmatic nemesis, the Once-ler. The all-star cast also includes Zac Efron (High School Musical, The Lucky One, 17 Again) as Ted, an idealistic 12-year-old searching for the Lorax; Grammy® Award winner Taylor Swift (Valentine’s Day) as Audrey, the girl of Ted’s dreams; Rob Riggle (The Hangover, Big Miracle) as the villainous O’Hare; Jenny Slate (Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, “SNL”) as Ted’s protective mother; and five-time Emmy® Award winner Betty White (The Proposal, “Hot in Cleveland”) as Ted’s wise Grammy Norma.
