I honestly think the lines from the lorax in biggering were so much better than 90% of his lines in the movie. "NOW LISTEN HERE IDIOT!" I so want to see him actually say that.
One thing that really grinds my gears is when people conflate Capitalism with Corporatism. Ever since corporations really began lobbying and pushing the government to change laws or relax certain regulations, we shifted from Capitalism to Corporatism. If you really want to get reductionist with the definition, Corporatism is essentially a kind of Deregulated Capitalism, when the Corpos are allowed to go whole-hog on raising that bottom line at any cost. The only thing that regulates Corporatism from driving the economy completely into the ground is outside interest groups, such as the Globalist group (there's only actually one and its very big and that's actually quite terrifying to realize) that wants to usher in their new world order where they rule on top, and their plans require some long-term thinking whereas Corporatism drives nations into the ground for immense short-term gains that let them rebuild the nation to benefit them and only them.
AND THIS IS WHY I FUCKING LOVE CAPITALISM! Survival of the fittest as they say. Just read the description... welp, sucks to suck i guess, i just bought more 5 bottles of coke and will continue to buy. Why worry if nothing ever is going to change? I will just continue being happy while it lasts.
It’s interesting to think that This movie could’ve been like the original but instead had changes so from what I assume is “less scary” for the children at the time. Except when I was in kindergarten 2015 we watched the original Lorax and none of us were scared of it (from what I assume) most kids just laughed at how he lifted himself into the sky.
I really like the subtle difference between "who cares if a few trees are dying?" in How Bad Can I Be vs "who cares if a few *things* are dying?" in Biggering, just adds another level to his disregard for life
The thing with illumination is that They got some good people that somehow ended up in their studio But just like many companies like in this song, they don't care They can't go too far and take risk The thing that used to make disney unique was the fact they tooked risks The same for dreamworks And honestly dreamworks sometimes does things bad too but they have so many bangers And most of them were ridiculous Shrek yes, but come on Kung fu Panda Some guy came to them and was like: hey let's make a movie about a fat panda who dreams of fighting kung fu and is an orphan and was adopted by a bird and later this panda becomes by accident a legendary dragon warrior whatever that means and at the end they fight some cat with mental issues And dreamworks was like: that's frickin awsome, love it.
The fact that both songs could have fit in the movie right after how bad can I be because how bad can I be is a build up and this is just at the top and the downfall so they scraped it for no reason
The problem isn’t that the Onceler was capitalist, it’s that he was a _bad_ capitalist. Prioritizing short term booms over stable, long term profits is what delineates the intelligent capitalist from the short-sighted capitalist. The Onceler never figured that out until it was much too late.
This film, along with the original demos and its original script, could have been at the level of Disney's renaissance era if Illumination had taken a risk once in its life and they had not ruined it, perhaps it would have become their best film along with The best song by a non-Disney villain, what could have been
@@Oskir_Schlickarssonthe original script was ted wanting a truffula tree, but not because he wants to plant it. It is quite literally because hes greedy and wants everything. In the original thneedville song or smt, ted says "everything i want is the stuff i dont have." Smewhere inbetween, he meets the onceler who gives him a lesson about greed. After this happens, the film never comfirms if he plants it or not like the original book. Its up to you to decide
