1. Introduction

a. The Lorax (2012)

b. Thesis: Although it is clear through exaggeration in physics that this film takes place in a universe other than our own, the universe of the Lorax is still believable and displays many laws of physics that our own universe has.

11. Body Paragraphs

1. Slow motion

a. Slow motion for comedic affect that entail unrealistic moments, but also displays some believable weight distribution and existence of gravity

b. when the Once-ler arrives in the forest and feeds the woodland creatures marshmallows, the marshmallows explode out of their bag falling into the little animals mouths and creating a marshmallow ocean in which the critters use each other as boats in

c. The commercial for bottled air shows people opening plastic bottles and being hit in the face with air.

2. Teds motor Bike

a. although this bike has the potential to work in our own universe (maybe like a segway) it defy s many laws of physics through out the movie

b. Ted rides his bike up stairs in a way that is unbelievable, yet his weight distribution looks believable

c. When Ted is fleeing through the city to avoid O Hare, the bike is able to sustain the weight of ted, his grandmother and Audrey

3. Exaggerated movements and use of gravity

a. Teds Grandmother bounces her food with her fork like a super ball then allows it to bounce straight into her mouth

b. The Lorax pops out of a tree like a ball out of a cannon

c. The Once-ler makes pancakes and flips them in a believable way yet moves his body in a way that is very noodly and impossible

b. The entire Thneed song shows people bouncing, flipping, and wearing/using the thneed in impossible ways

Conclusion:

1. The laws of physics are broken through out the film, yet some laws from our own universe exist

2. Even though many rules are broke, the films universe is still believable
