In the walled city of Thneed-Ville, where everything is artificial and even the air is a commodity, a boy named Ted hopes to win the heart of his dream girl, Audrey. When he learns of her wish to see a real tree, Ted seeks out the Once-ler, a ruined old businessman outside of town in a stark wasteland. Upon hearing of how the hermit gave into his greed for profits and devastated the land over the protests of the Lorax, Ted is inspired to undo the disaster.

  1. Chloe, the sheet that I gave you was supposed to help you to create a database of not just the production facts but also the elements of the film in terms of narrative and how it has enabled the key contributors to progress. unfortunately it seems that you have created a blurb style review detailing what happens in the film not necessarily how, why and the whats of film making. You are going to need to revisit these in order for them to contribute to your exams as case studies.
