Super Bowl Comercials: 'The Lorax' trailer

Hollywood's mining of the works of the Dr. Seuss continues with Universal Pictures' "The Lorax," from the folks behind "Despicable Me."

The 30-second Super Bowl spot manages to include some of the best bits from the existing trailers while giving us a few new glimpses at the film.



The Lorax's line about "That's a woman?!" pretty much sold me on the film when I saw it in the full trailer and it's a good way to end the TV spot as well. There were also the newly revealed bit using the fluffy bears as a defibrillator.

The movie features the voices of Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Betty White and more.

"Despicable Me" co-director Chris Renaud and screenwriter Ken Daurio are both involved "The Lorax." Both films were animated by Illumination Entertainment.

"The Lorax" hits theaters March 2.
