Amazon's editorial:

Original soundtrack to the 2012 animated feature composed by John Powell. The film follows Ted, an idealistic young boy who lives in "Thneed-Ville", a city that, aside from the citizens, is completely artificial. He sets out to find the one thing that will win him the affection of Audrey, the girl of his dreams, who wishes to see a real tree. While attempting to find a seed, he discovers that their city has been closed off from the outside world, and meets the reclusive Once-ler, who recounts the story of how he met the Lorax, a grumpy yet charming creature who serves as guardian of the land. When the young businessman introduces a revolutionary invention from the native Truffula Tree's tufts, it tragically spirals into a mass overproduction leading to the depletion of the forest, and the creation and isolation of Ted's town. With the Once-ler's blessing, and the last Truffula Seed, Ted sets out to remind his town of the importance of nature.

From Varese: 

Jeremy Reins (Dorff) is about to have a very bad day. He wakes up in total darkness, confused and disoriented. The only light comes from the blood-red digital numbers ticking away above his head. Jeremy quickly realizes he's in trouble. It's hard to breathe. He can barely move. And no one will answer his cries for help. Then, he hears the sound of an engine and it all becomes clear ... he's trapped in the trunk of a moving car. As his captors reveal themselves and their motives, Jeremy realizes he won't be set free until he gives up the whereabouts of "Roulette," a secret location where the U.S. President is taken in the event of a terrorist attack. Action film veteran Brian Tyler provides the gritty, intense score.
