Recently discovered this treasure trove: https://www.youtube.com/@LoraxStuff/videos where OP compiled a whole bunch of Lorax storyboards into videos! Thanks to [this post] and @fun-twisted-tales for linking me to the youtube channel!!
I just wanted to post some of my personal favourite panels from Matt Flynn's and David Berthier's boards (posts have already been made for Didier Ah-koon's, Nassos Vakalis', and Habib Louati's boards), with my notes for them below:
1) ADS ON THEIR GELATIN CUBES?? holy shit that's galaxy brain. I'm definitely making that canon in my Audrey OC's lore haha. I also love "MEAT CUBE" and "PROCESSED FROOD" and "CHOCO FU" sdkj
2) They have 3 cent coins and 12 cent coins......lmao OF COURSE they would if they also have 34 days in October and a "day 12 1/2" on their calendars....sighs another reminder of just how isolated Thneedville has been from the rest of the world
3-4) "Keep your nose out of trouble or it might get cut off!!!" Wow what a violent threat from O'hare! Imagine if he might be serious...:^)
5) A pin-up ad LMAO?? Selling water as "air with water in it" is so gd stupid i love it!!
6) Truffula tree with branches! We've seen them in concept art by Colin Stimpson before but I think this is the first time I've seen the idea drawn by an official storyboard artist
7-9) When he whacked the tree with his ax, butterflies flew out from the tuft! I love the idea that butterflies nest in truffula trees, it would make sense why they're said to smell of butterfly milk...
10-11) That's so cool that the furry design for the onceler made it all the way to storyboard stage!! You can easily tell that they kept a lot of his expressions here for the human version as well
And that's all for now! OP of that youtube channel is a life saviour, thank you OP!! I hope those vids will stay up forever...also if you guys want to see more lorax concept art, here's my tag for it: [link]
