its not the oncelers fault he destroyed the local ecosystem, trees chased his aging mother off a cliff

[systemerrorbonnie]

i have never watched the lorax what does the onceler even Do

he destroyz the local ecosystem by chopping down all the truffla treez to make his thneedz

[systemerrorbonnie]

tbh i can see Why the onceler fandom split him up into 2 ppl but like. when u actually think abt it for more than 2 secondz it kinda defeatz the purpose of one of the moviez messagez. that being: good ppl w/ good intentionz can still do bad thingz. 

splitting him up into a simple "good side" and "bad side" stripz the situation of all nuance by absolving one of all blame and pinning everything on the other. itz incredibly black and white.

and, again, i can see WHY they did it. he goez from 0 to 100 rlly fucking fast, i mean he actz completely differently than how he did pre-capitalism. post-capitalism he Feelz like a very different person. but my point still standz, splitting him up would defeat the purposez of the movie (not like it already did that by itself) and just make no fucking sense 

but fanz never cared abt the themez of the movie so they just went right on their merry way (and tbh? good for them)

!!!! do u know anything abt the song that was supposed to replace how bad can i be? :O

the song is called biggering!!! it has basically the same meaning as how bad can i be but itz like. a rock ballad(?). it goes more in depth abt the oncelerz motivationz and stuff tho. itz rlly good!!!

not a soft piano version of the final song, as the Lorax mourns the stump of the first tree mister OG tumblr-bait cuts down!!!

[systemerrorbonnie]

talk about the lorax now >:0( /th

have this thing i said on discord since i dont feel like copypasting it here sidfhcso i can say smart thingz sometimez !!

[systemerrorbonnie]

tell me abt the lorax i love that movie

WELL i will answer w/ trivia , if u already know some of this pretend u dont

there was supposed to be a song called biggering in the place of how bad can i be but it got replaced by. well. hbcib. a lot of itz lyricz are directly lifted from biggering and itz a completely different tone

ted and audrey are named after dr suess and his second wife

the original name for the town in the movie was greenville before it was changed to thneedville after oncelerz success

in the scene where tedz family are playing scrabble grammy norma is spelling out "lorax"

therez a minion in tedz drawer (and a couple other despicable me referencez in the movie)

the reason the movie is rated pg is bc o'hare sayz "damn it" Once (1)

ted can play the guitar presumably (from a shot of a guitar neck u can see on his desk)

how bad can i be is supposed to show 5 yearz worth of business

o’hare was originally gonna be called “oxy” (as in oxygen) in concept art but it was changed. ted also had concept art thatz super different to how he ended up in the movie

there isnt a lot this movie is kinda boring in the trivia department shfdvos
