BLESS THE P!ATD FAN WHO WORKED ON THE LORAX:
Ok so everyone knows how the Onceler looks like Ryan Ross (I am not typing “Once-ler” that looks dumb sorry) but I swear this will never get old. I watched The Lorax again last night and neeeeed to break this down even further because WHOEVER WORKED ON CHARACTER DESIGN WAS THE ACTUAL BIGGEST PANIC! AT THE DISCO FAN. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. So bear with me through this recap I just spent a whole quarantined day editing…
Let’s start with Brendon – not only does Ted’s character wear the same striped red shirt that Brendon wore a ton in 2008, but he also has dark jeans and the same exact shoes as well:
And fine, maybe that’s a coincidence. But then look at Ted’s one other outfit change:
Brendon’s pants on the right did have pinstripes as well, promise. And I know lots of other stuff could be a coincidence (like how Ted’s crush is named AUDREY of all things) so I’ll just move onto the Onceler Ryan Ross…
So Ryan was really well known for his stage makeup, right?
The red stripe was arguably his most iconic look. And THIS IS THE ONCELER’S ACTUAL INTRO that crossfades into his memory of the past:
I’m sorry but that is iNTENTIONAL.
Ryan was also pretty well known for wearing endless combinations of vests, scarves, and that dang hat during 2008. I won’t go through every basic Onceler outfit comparison since those have been done so many times, but here’s my recap of Ryan’s general style in 2008:
