Don't you know? If we don't have a cliche villain, the audience won't know who to hate. The original Lorax having no clear cut bad guy is apparently too nuanced for modern audiences.
that would genuinely be a bad way to go out. imagine flying by your head, feeling your neck stretch and tear as you fly into the air with your insides all floating
true it ends with "Let this be a solemn creed, onceler:Thank you Ted. " and that's it A N D I T D O E S N ' T E N D W I T H "WE, SAY, LET, IT, GROW(IT'S A BRAND NEW DAWN) "
The one thing that gets me about this scene is how every citizen is just casually great at singing. yet im here sounding like i have a cheese grater for a voice box once i try any singing
The one thing that mind-boggles me is that they casted freaking Taylor Swift in a movie musical and they didn’t have her sing once throughout the movie.
I went to showing of suessical and they were playing the Lorax soundtrack, and when this song played, I was silent, I waited till the time was ripe. And then, at the top of my voice, I shouted “YOU GREEDY DIRTBAG”. We were promptly kicked out.
I first saw this movie (in passing, I've never watched it) this christmas, and I assumed it had just come out which was why it was memed about. In retrospect I guess its airing over christmas prompted the relatively new movie-based memescape to adopt it.
"Let it Grow, Let it Grow. Like it did so long ago. It's just one tiny seed. But it's all we really need. It's time to change the life we lead. Time to LET IT GROW!"
*LET IT DIE, LET IT DIE, LET IT SHRIVEL UP AND CRYYY, THE CHANGE WE REALLY DON'T NEED, DON'T LET IT START WITH THIS ONE SEED, HERE'S A WARNING YOU SHOULD HEED, I SAY LET IT DIE!* If he didn't interrupt himself (warning I haven't watched the actual movie so I can only assume that this guy's motivations are to discourage change so he can keep a monopoly on air production or something along those lines. I am responsible for any inaccuracies but refuse to admit it)
I think ruining one Dr. Seuss film is enough. Who the hell would put a face to Mr Once-ler? Or make him young? This film has nothing to do with the original.
If they make a 3D Grinch, watch it be about the horrors of Capitalism because they can't seem to keep their political ideologies out of these movies anymore. They turned the Lorax from a cautionary tale of expanding things too quickly into.... Anti-Business? Seems as though the Onceler is far less sympathetic in this one than the old cartoon. Also doesn't help that they had to add an evil business owner on top of him because even they realized they couldn't turn the Onceler into a straight up villain so they had to create one.
They took out the part where the Once-ler breaks board up window and actually looks out the window for the first time in years. With tears in his eyes, knowing that Ted succeeded his mission, he smiles and whispers, “Thank you, Ted”. That was my favourite part of the movie. Because this film did something, not even Dr. Seuss himself has done. They gave the Once-ler redemption. Where after all those years of regret and self loathing, the Once-ler can make peace with his past, because for once in his life he actually has done something good.
🎵I’m Adrin Capulong, and I’m 18. I’ve studied about trees in science class and all the trees are important to the environment. That’s why I let them grow.🎵
they need to make more modern Dr.Seuss movies because they really do teach good lessons for the Lorax it was basically a long lesson on the consequences of our actions and the effect they can have
I love how the auto generated captions interpreted “My name is Dan and my name’s Rose, our son Weasly kinda glows” to “My name is Tim and my name’ Rose our song “mostly” kinda blows”
Ok let it grow let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow Let it grow
Despite me never thinking that singing can make problems go away and actually make a difference in the way things are like this, I recently learned about the singing revolution (yes this is a real thing) a series of events that took place in the Soviet occupied Baltic states. It involved the civilians of occupied Lithuania 🇱🇹, Latvia 🇱🇻, and Estonia 🇪🇪 advocating for their independence through singing in their native languages and eventually forming a human chain across all three countries. In the end, the Singing Revolution ended in their victory and they all gained independence in 1990/91 and when I first learned about it, my mind came right back to this song and how they beat back O’hare from destroying the seed through their singing. THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS WIN 💪💪
Ik your comment is old but I wasn’t allowed to watch movies when I was there they had this whole no technology thing and we could only have one 5 minute phone call a day
