Taylor Swift, in her big-screen acting debut, stars as Felicia Miller, a young high school student, who gets into a relationship with her classmate Willy. The latter was played by Taylor Lautner, who was also Swift’s boyfriend at the time.
The Lorax (2012)
The Lorax is an animated film directed by Chris Renaud, based on a book by Dr, Seuss of the same name. It chronicles the story of Ted, a resident of Thneedville, a walled city where everything is manufactured. Ted in a quest to impress a girl named Audrey, goes in for a search of a real tree. This leads him to a grumpy Once-ler who reveals that his greed for Truffula trees to construct the garment called Thneed has driven away the guardian of the forest, Lorax. The film sheds light on ecological destruction, as Ted sets on a journey to bring back real trees to Thneedville.

The Giver (2014)
