- The memes around this movie got me looking into it more, which convinced me to give it a rewatch and I ended up delving into the rabbithole of this corporate nightmare. O'hare looks funny though hahah
I swear this time the next video that's coming out is the Malcolm in the Middle one, it's well into development and I'm constricted on time at the moment hence why it's taking longer.
Might do an editing livestream though, let me know if you'd want that to happen.
Biggering proves that the people who worked on this wanted to actually tell a good story. Before the company told them not to
yes! on the video of whysoanimated, biggering storyboard, I believe the songwriter actually left a comment explaining all this.
yea heres the comment: Hey everybody--Cinco Paul here, I wrote the lyrics to "Biggering" (John Powell wrote the music) and it means so much to me how many of you have embraced this song. We personally loved it, but as many of you have guessed the higher-ups thought it was too dark for the movie. The tales I could tell about making this movie! Anyway, I'm going to let John know about this--I'm sure he'll be thrilled. Thank you, Gloria, for this amazing storyboard, and thanks to all of you for your great comments about the song. I'm so glad it finally found its audience.
They chose how bad can I be because biggering was hard rock and hard rock doesn’t fit the theme of the Lorax.
@@aaa-oy7zxthey chose how bad can I be because Biggering was “too scary for children” and wouldn’t market the movie as much
This movie isn't really the best, but Danny DeVito as the lorax was such perfect casting.
Also that "lorax approved" car ad.... yeah.
a little part of my soul dies everytime I get reminded of that ad. look how they massacred my boy
@@winterblake3321 Bro didn’t even said he approved and just held it like 😯It left me like💀💀💀💀💀
I honestly thought it was John DiMaggio
3:30 and this is where I disagree: why does a main character absolutely have to be a virtuous white knight?
He's a teenage boy who wants to impress a girl because he's in LOVE... nothing wrong with that. And, at the end of the movie, towards the ''Let it grow'' song, Ted actually DOES care about trees and the environment. So what's problematic?
Also why does the Once-Ler have to be necessarily depicted as pure evil to be a good vilain? In fact, almost nobody is truely ''evil'' in this movie: even O'Hare is not ''pure evil,'' he doesn't like the idea of trees because, from his perspective, trees represent a threat for his business; which is morally wrong but not necessarily evil.
O'Hare is on top of a system that he benefits from and most of us would have done the same things the Once-Ler and O'Hare did for our own profit.
The truely evil characters, on my perspective, are some members of the Once-Ler's family, especially his own mother: she never gave a sh*t about him, she never believed in him. She only got interested after his business became successful. That's what I call an evil character. The Once-Ler (the 2012 version) is a good guy and an interesting character: a young man who left home because his family didn't even like him in the first place, so he wanted to start his own business and, for a while, lived as a hermit in a nature reserve where he was friendly with local wildlife. But he got blinded by greed and only noticed it was a mistake after the very last tree got down.
The animal-exodus scene is really heartbreaking because the Once-Ler has this ''What have I done?'' moment; which is something he already had in the original 1972 version.
Both the 1972 and 2012 versions of the Once-Ler depict a person who's not inherently evil. In both versions he realized the mistakes he made and wanted a kid to be aware of trees and the environment in the hope of preventing the same mistakes from happening again. 2012 'The Lorax' is not a good movie but it's definitetly not the catastrophic failure some people claim it is: it's a ''meh...'' movie.
THIS IS WHAT IM SAYING
ONCELER WASNT EVIL HIS FAMILY WASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Its because they removed a song which proved the point of the movie well and the company who made the movie is greedy themselves. People are definitely looking for anything to whine about because of memes. One thing that was stupid tho was making a car commercial and using the lorax which is completely backwards.
@@xenkk0o the onceler himself WAS greedy. same as the original, biggering proved it.
I understand some points but like no this still goes against the message of the book
Also character development from the person not caring to actually understanding and caring.!
The big irony is the environmentalist of the film is voiced by someone who had the largest carbon footprint the other year
I was four years old when this movie came out and my Grandpa took me to see it in theaters, when it ended I looked over to him and he was sound asleep, and I myself didn't remember much about it until my second or third watch.
personally, if they cut out all of the thneedville shit, the movie could be called a decent movie. i kinda like the once-ler parts and if they just show ted going to him, the story gets told, maybe we're shown a little bit of thneedville but not for too long, he comes back, story is finished, ted gets the seed, dont show what happens in thneedville after he gets it, cut out all the "let it grow" parts and just show what happens after that, lorax comes back, end it there. maybe the movie wouldnt suck.
Then tbh
1. We wouldn't get that YOU GREEDY DIRTBAG quote
2. We would probably wonder what happened to O Hare or his company
@An very person OH THE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PARKING LOTS
Msking it a dystopian wasteland where Ohare is selling clean air that they actually NEED to use
@An very person lets say there is no air, then ohare charges people for air, since he found a way to somehow convert CO2 into oxygen. And also, the world would be very polluted.
@An very person yeah you are joking, i know it
This movie somewhat predicted that illumination would use Donkey Kong in one of their movies, with a line from the Onceler in this movie.
I just love that
@@charlietalksfilms Same
Your weirdly underated for a channel with decent video quality like this. Another reason why Biggering was swapped with How Bad Can I Be was probably because Biggering wouldn't get stuck in your head, unlike How Bad Can I Be.
Aw thanks bro!
meanwhile I've been sitting here with Biggering stuck in my head for like three days straight
im in love with the once ler, somebody send help
casually enables you
Tho Illumination recently said they're gonna be taking risks with their upcoming projects in the future, with a 2D animated short called "Peng Lai" and them having a separate studio dedicated to make adult movies.
Also their recent movies such as Sing 2, Minions: Rise of Gru and The Mario Movie have been actually really good.
Dont get me wrong "Biggering" is a great song but "How bad can I be" is just much better in my opinion. Like the song "Biggering" just doesn't give off the vibes of the movie at all. And i feel that "How bad can I be" just fits better. Its more catchy and gets the point of the Once-ler's story to viewers better.🤷♀️🤷♀️
The main problem with HBCIB is it shunts the blame off of the Onceler who's meant to be the standin for big corporations, it says, hey how bad can I be but it never out says this is how bad you can be, it walks up to the finish line and just doesn't cross it. Biggering is better because it doesn't paint the Onceler as oblivious to the damage it paints him as knowing but turning a blind eye, corrupted by greed to keep growing his business, not inherently evil simply consumed by greed and pride, the easiest things to be consumed by, which is why they were name 2 of the deadly sins in Christianity. This movie was an adaptation of a book meant to be an environmental message about corporation's greed damaging the planet and the fact that a company making a movie that at first was speaking against everything it was doing and not being willing to stay true to the message of the source material raises the question why did they even try, because in the end it's not about song quality or how it fits it's about message and properly adapting the message of the source and they just didn't do it
@@Finn_the_Cat well this song alone couldn't have fix the movie. but if the movie stayed true to the original, biggering would be way better instead.
@outrageskater6216 that is true, one bar of gold in the dumpster doesn't mean it isnt a dumpster but at least we could gotten an epic villain song, probably the best of the decade but oh well
I agree, HBCIB fits more, and its easier to remember
Fun fact in french it wasn't translated as how bad can i be but as "am i really that bad" which in my opinion makes it much darker
I'm the lorax, i speak for the trees and for some fucking reason, they're speaking vietname-
Why don't you have more Subs or views, this is amazing.
Believe me 30k views is more than I ever thought I’d get 🙏
I was SHOCKED when I looked at your subscriber account. This is literally an amazing video, I would’ve thought you had thousands of subscribers for how good the video quality is. I barely ever subscribe to people, but you got a subscription from me, keep it up!!
much appreciated!!!
If there is a screen the Lorax shall he seen
Okay, I get simping for the oncler, if I had been 13 when this movie came out I would have too. What I have a problem with, IS TAKING THE ONCLER BEFORE HE TURNS EVIL AND SHIPPING HIM WITH HIMSELF AFTER HE TURNS EVIL, AND CALLING IS ONCEST.
3:25
Maybe when he leaves thneed Ville, he starts to care about the trees
i love once-ler. i want to have his babies. he's 6'4, plays guitar, sings, knits, is rich, nice hair, and beautiful face. he's so gorgeous. i know dang well that once-ler whimpers. idc if yall think he's not he's SO fine. i need him. the things i'd let this man do to me.
Lol
Yeah I like him too, I wish he was my brother 😆
😳😳😳😳😳😳😏😏😏😏😏😏
How bad could he possibly be?
Very bad
what the fuck
PLS WHAT'S THE MUSIC AT THE END
I’m your 100th sub dude 🎉🎉
Thx bro 🙌🙌
lets be honest, we all had a crush on onceler
why, what’s sexy about him?
That’s right lmao
Im starting to think im bi xd
We?
4:24 I am extremely concerned for humanity, especially since this stuff has somehow taken over my youtube recomended.
BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME, i am a onceler fangirl, BUT, i don't like oncest, i don't like shipping him with any other charcters, i just think that the onceler is cute, nothing weird.
Yeah like, bro we're Not depraved fujoshis who likes to do weird and cringe sfuff, just like him lol
Yeah fr!!!!!
@An very person thanks dude :)

OF COURSE THIS IS A BRITISH PERSON
Was it the use of the word peculiar 😂
I personally like this movie, It's one of those movies for me that I can just put on and just watch, but that doesn't mean that it still didn't miss the point of the original story.
(How can I be is better than biggering also fight me)
Fair enough, I actually didn’t mind how bad can I be but I still think biggering is better
How bad can I be is a good song and I enjoy it, but Biggering is just on a whole different level. how bad can I be is a catchy, poppy tune that is easy to get stuck in your head. Biggering, however, is an incredibly intense, powerful, moving dark rock opera masterpiece that perfectly displays the horrors of corporate greed and consumerism.
so despite my frustration at the fact that they cut the song, I personally think that they could have easily fit both songs into the movie, with biggering being a soft reprise of how bad can I be through it's maxed-out intensity and scaled-upness.
@@ussdrizzle8393 It would be better than how bad can I be if the lorax didn't show up mid-way through and nearly talked for the entire song.
Oh god you’ve resurrected onceler fans
We should protect the trees
this video is hilarious
Plant trees, don't cut them down
If they wanted to make something marketable maybe they shouldn’t have picked Dr. Seuss’s darkest book
What the fuck is ice spice doing here? 0:05
😭😭😭😭✋✋✋ STAWPPP
lorass
How bad can I be is a better song
Bro, 5:12
What the frick
Hot-ish take: the movie version of the Lorax has a more accurate view on corporations than the book imo. It just really seems unlikely that all big business owners are heartlessly greedy and don't care about the environment. The book tells one side of the story, the movie kind of tells both.
Yeah you can relate to the characters more, they’re more realistic
Well cause one’s a book the other’s a movie
Gets too much hate in my opinion
I think the hate is deserved
Compare this movie to the Mario movie
Bro, it's literally 11 years apart
