The Lorax 2012

Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is a 2012 American computer-animated 3D musical fantasy comedy film produced by Illumination Entertainment and based on Dr. Seuss children's book. The film was released by Universal Pictures on March 2, 2012, the 108th birthday of Dr. Seuss.

It is the second adaptation of the book, following the 1972 animated musical television special. It builds on the book by expanding the story of Ted, the previously unnamed boy who visits the Once-ler. The cast includes Danny DeVito as the Lorax, Ed Helms as the Once-ler and Zac Efron as Ted Wiggins. New characters introduced in the film are Taylor Swift as Audrey, Ted's love interest. Rob Riggle as Aloysius O'Hare, the evil mayor of Thneedville. Betty White as Grammy Norma. Jenny Slate as Ted's mother, Mrs. Wiggins. Stephen Tobolowsky as Uncle Ubb. Elmarie Wendel as Aunt Grizelda.

Both Ted is named after the author of the book and Audrey is named after Dr. Seuss' wife Audrey Geisel. The film was a box office success, although it received mixed reviews.

Woody Woodpecker

Welcome to the Old Classic Cartoon Page. Here is the first character I will talk about.

Woody Woodpecker is a funny animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic acorn woodpecker, who appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Pictures. Woody was created in 1940 by Lantz and storyboard artist Ben "Bugs" Hardway, who had previously laid the groundwork for other two screwball characters, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck at the Warner Bros. cartoon studio in the late 1930s. He was also orginally voiced by prolific voice actor Mel Blanc, who was succeeded by Ben Hardway and later by Grace Stafford, wife of Walter Lantz. His laugh went ,"Guess who? Ha-ha-ha-HAA-ha!" when Mel Blanc had already used a simliar laugh in the earlier Warner Bros. cartoons such as Elmer's Candid Camera.

Woody Woodpecker cartoons were first broadcast on television in 1957 under the title The Woody Woodpecker Show, which featured Lantz cartoons bookended by new footage of Woody and live-action footage of Lantz. Very much like Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, Woody is part of a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fameon 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.
