5. The Lorax (2012)
Based on Dr. Seuss’ best-selling children’s book, The Lorax is an animated musical pushing the importance of being kind to our planet. Not only does it have an incredibly important message, but with a star-studded cast and memorable music, it was an easy success. Zac Efron and Ed Helms lead the film as Ted and The Once-ler (respectfully), with Danny Devito playing the titular character of The Lorax.
The Lorax had another animated adaptation in the 1970’s, but the 2012 version expanded on both the story and characters, allowing audiences to connect more. Much like Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, The Lorax was able to take a classic, yet simple, book and turn it into a movie that’s both entertaining and educational.
