The Lorax

A video version of Dr. Seuss's well known story The Lorax.










If you enjoy The Jon Stewart Show, you might like this short clip as well. The clip is obviously much shorter than The Lorax and the two are not directly comparable--except that they both deal with images of trees and logging. I'm interested, however, in the way in which the Stewart clip--however short--makes its argument. Any ideas?
