We were so BUMMED when we missed Dr. Suess’s The Lorax in theaters.  We just got busy and by the time we looked up, the wildly popular film was no longer showing.

Since then, I have patiently awaited the announcement that The Lorax would be coming out on Blu Ray DVD Combo packs!  And FINALLY, in a few months, it will be here!

The imaginative world of Dr. Seuss comes to life like never before in this visually spectacular adventure from the creators of Despicable Me! Twelve-year-old Ted will do anything to find a real live Truffula Tree in order to impress the girl of his dreams. As he embarks on his journey, Ted discovers the incredible story of the Lorax, a grumpy but charming creature who speaks for the trees. Featuring the voice talents of Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate and Betty White, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is filled with hilarious fun for everyone!

Check out the trailer of one of the never before seen mini movies below:
