      Seriously, she was directly suppressed by O’hare censoring her art by defiling it and as an artistic environmental protestor voiced by Taylor Swift of all people?? Not only would you get better musical numbers from her, she’d also be a great modern female protagonist considering we’re living through the changes of climate change. The potential for a great cultural landmark film was there, they just went the lazy route. Let’s hope the Mario movie is better than this ☠️

    Truth be told, I've always hated what they ended up doing with the Once-Ler, they took one of Dr. Seuss' most compelling and nuanced villains of all time and basically made it to where it was his family were the ones that forced him to overharvest the Truffula trees and practically absolved him of blame, Whereas in the original story and animated special made in the 70's, The Once-ler constantly questions if at any point he should stop and argues with himself but he always makes excuses for why he should press on with his production of Thneeds and its only then when the last of the trees fall that he realizes that he's made a terrible mistake which is why when the film gets to that point, it feels hollow and unearned.

    • @crab2195
      @crab2195 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      completely agree. the Once-ler’s face was intentionally never shown in both the book and animated special. his character was specifically created to represent big business and industrialists rather than one individual, which is literally the whole message of the story. it’s not one person who’s causing all this destruction, it’s all of us. he’s everybody and nobody at the same time. putting a face to his name undermines the entire message by saying “yep, just a few bad eggs are responsible for the earth’s deterioration so blame them” instead of focusing on industrialism and corporate greed as a whole. when i was reading a thread on this topic i saw a bunch of people talking about how the Once-ler terrified them as children and left them with an eerie feeling. that’s the whole point. it’s a shame because you’d never leave with that same feeling after this movie. i honestly think an animated film about the Lorax should’ve been made by independent filmmakers instead of a company like Illumination. they were never going to do the book justice considering they profit off of the very thing it’s message speaks against.

    • @nochannelmusician769
      @nochannelmusician769 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I kinda disagree. I think it’s interesting to show that you don’t have to be an evil person to make selfish decisions that affects everyone. His family was a bad influence, but they didn’t force him to cut the tree down and start selling the thneeds. By the time his family actually shows up, they’re just pushing a snowball that’s already rolling down the hill. Isn’t it just like a billionaire to be likable and charismatic while they destroy whatever and whoever gets in their way? They’re only sorry when they have to pay for it.

    The concept is even more absurd if you think of the whole timeline of this movie, the trees were around when the onceler was in 20s or so, he then cut down all of the trees and EVERYONE forgot about trees when the onceler is older, presumably in his 60s-70s. So that means this whole story happens in about a 50 year span, which is ridiculous

  • @RSStarfire

    You mention the irony of a company like Illumination making this movie, and I feel like some of the production adds another layer to that. “Biggering”, the song proposed for this movie before being remade into “How Bad Can I Be”, is genuinely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard written for a kids’ movie. There was definitely some sort of passion somewhere at some point when making this movie, but Illumination rejected the song and and sanitized other aspects of the movie to make it more marketable. They actively tore down something great for something that would make them more money. The very existence of this movie is a contradiction to everything it’s supposed to stand for.

  • @WalkinStereotype
    @WalkinStereotype ปีที่แล้ว +10

    In the cartoon short made based on the story, there were many moments where the Onceler grappled with himself about the choices he was making, and he discussed these things with the Lorax. He convinced himself that certain things had to be certain ways because that’s how the solution has always been found in the past, and brought up legitimate concerns such as the lives of his employees, things that business owners who do actually care have to consider. Everything happened gradually, not just in a single music number. This movie throws out all of the nuance, the message of trying to find better ways that benefit people and the planet, for… just bad.

    I like the Lorax as a character in the movie, Danny Devito is awesome casting, but that's it... I really disliked how they bloated such a simple effective story. All you need is in the book, so why not just make an animated short film highlighting the visuals and sounds - which Seuss was good at, dude loved onomatopoeias

    Not matter what people say about this movie, it will always be very special to me. The Lorax was the last movie that my Great Grandmother and I saw together in theaters. Her and I would always go and see movies together, it was our thing. We would laugh together and just enjoy being with each other. I never knew that when I was younger while she was laughing with me, she was fighting cancer. I remember driving to 7-11 in her little red car and getting snacks before we went to the movies together and saw this movie. It was normal to me then, but it’s special to me now because she’s gone. That was the last time we got to go to the movies together and I will cherish that memory forever. I love you Nana💕

    couple of things: 1. i always thought the bottled air thing was in reference to how people originally reacted to the concept of bottled water, which seemed wild and unnecessary a few decades ago. and 2. i like the interpretation of the book that “unless someone like you…” the “you” referred to the onceler. the idea that unless someone in charge of these big companies decides to actually give a shit, nothings going to get better. it def makes more sense than telling an individual child with no real power to have to clean up a mess they didn’t make and have no ability to stop.

      Because that's the point. Greed means you take EVERYTHING and not just what you need. And "greed is bad because it hurts others/the environment" is literally the whole message of the book and the movie. Think about how in real life corporations don't just do what's necessary - they go the easy/fast route, which means lots of waste. But waste is cheap. Time is not.

    This movie robbed us of what could have been one of the greatest villain songs of all time, by replacing "Biggering" with "How Bad Can I Be?". A power metal banger about how money and power can twist a person into destroying all around them. Most people have probably heard it by now, but check it out if you haven't. They fully recorded it and released it on the official soundtrack (thankfully).

    This movie should’ve followed the Onceler as an ambitious and cunning youth turned into a businessman and shown him as he destroyed the environment for glory and greed. Only to discover that his joy and glory was temporary as people moved on, leaving the environment destroyed and himself washed-up. Dead animals and plants, gray sky, bad air and water, etc.
    And then have Audrey show up in his darkest hour and want to learn about trees in Thneedville, now cornered by O’Hare’s products and consumerism. And he entrusts the last seed to her.

But why couldn't we have kept the Onceler as the villain of the picture like he was supposed to be? Show him growing up poor, setting out to make his fortune, and once he tastes success, he can't let it go even as the trees have trouble regrowing. Have him be scared of becoming poor again, since he lived hand to mouth. Have the family be there as a representation of his past simple life and how he's slipping away from it, and then introduce the Lorax towards the end to call him out on his behaviour, but by the time he listens, the trees and his business are gone, and his family don't want to talk to him because he acted like a jerk when he was successful. End with him giving the boy the last seed.
