Here’s a short clip from Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax that highlights the budding relationship between the movie’s central characters, Ted and Audrey (characters named after Theodor Seuss Geisel and Audrey Geisel, Dr. Seuss’ widow). The film features a cast that should bring in the desired audience – namely Zac Efron and Taylor Swift. For those no longer bothered by acne, you may enjoy the performances by Daily Show alums Rob Riggle and Ed Helms.

The film hits US screens on March 2nd.
