Universal has released a teaser poster for the 3D animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.  You may recall the Lorax's advice that chopping down trees is bad and to take heed of the word "Unless", which is a more subtle and gentle way of saying "WARNING: DON'T USE ALL OUR NATURAL RESOURCES".  Danny DeVito will voice The Lorax, which is an odd choice especially when you consider that his character on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia somehow finds a way to be more disgusting with every new episode.  The film also features the voices of Zac Efron as main character Ted, Taylor Swift as Ted's love-interest Audrey, Ed Helms as the Once-ler, Rob Riggle as greedy financial king O'Hare, and Betty White as Ted's wise grandmother.Hit the jump to check out the orange and mustachioed teaser poster.  The Lorax opens in 3D (I'm sorry "TREE-D"; oh, puns) on March 2, 2012.  Also, speaking of animated movies from Universal, click here for the Despicable Me 2 promo poster.Poster via Yahoo!
