In an early announcement to retailers, Universal is readying 'Dr. Seuss' The Lorax' for Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on August 7.
'Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax' transports viewers into a fantastical landscape imagined by Dr. Seuss and vividly brought to life by Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team at Illumination Entertainment (Despicable Me). Directed by Chris Renaud ('Despicable Me') from a screenplay adapted by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul ('Despicable Me,' 'HOP,' 'Horton Hears a Who') from the 1971 children’s classic, the film is an imaginative journey that begins in the town of Thneedville, where a boy searches for the one thing he knows will win the heart of his dream girl. But in order find it, he must discover the story of the Lorax, the often grumpy but loveable protector of Truffula Valley, in an exciting adventure filled with comedy and heart that USA Today’s Claudia Puig calls, “The right blend of funny, silly, and sweet.”
Each Blu-ray combo pack will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and supplements will include: Directors' Commentary; 3 Mini Movies; Making of the Mini Movies; Deleted Scene; Seuss to Screen; Seuss It Up; Truffula Run Game; "Let It Grow" Sing-Along; Once-Ler's Wagon; and high-definition exclusives include: Get Out of Town Game; O'Hare TV; and Expedition to Truffula Valley.
