Sex & Nudity

  • The Aunt of the Once-ler says "Shake That Bottom Line" in one scene. I think he meant yk-
  • About 41 minutes in, after the animals sleep in the onclers house, he starts changing clothes and you see his pants drop around his ankles. No body parts are shown.
  • The oncler throws a bunch of stuff out of his cart trunk including a pair of heart boxers that land on a bear's head.
  • Ted has a crush on a girl and it is a large plot point of the movie. Some talk of kissing and there is a scene where Ted imagines he is kissing her, and pretends to kiss her using a cereal box.
  • Some minor hints to romance or attractive women throughout the movie. Some weird infatuation with Mr. O'Hare by several women, including Ted's mom who appears to be single.
  • When Ted jumps through the window to get over the wall, a man is in a shower, nothing is shown.

Violence & Gore

Profanity

  • 1 use of "damn", 1 use of "idiot" and a use of "stupid".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A natural disaster occurs after a tree is chopped off.
  • The Once-Ler's bed is put in a river while he's sleeping in it - an intense scene follows depicting the Once-Ler in a very dangerous situation, culminating in him almost falling down a waterfall, which may be frightening to some viewers.
  • The Once-Ler almost dies after being thrown from a waterfall to a nearby bank. While the resulting scene with the Lorax giving him CPR is mainly handled comically, it may be confusing to some younger viewers who are not familiar with the first aid concept, and also may be unsettling to watch due to its slight tension and the urgency of the situation.
  • There's a musical scene where the Once-Ler is portrayed as a giant man destroying the forest and scaring the animals away. This scene is slightly bizarre, and may frighten small children, as the music is also loud and strange.
  • The Once-ler aggressively yells at the Lorax while driving him backwards down a staircase.
