The Lorax is a movie from illumination from Dr Seuss and we hate it! So we decided to react to it with yourmoviesucks (YMS Adum & Pals) to see if it held up. How bad can I possibly be? Bad like really and funny and hilarious with crazy meme potential

A Lorax movie with Danny DeVito voicing all of the characters would’ve been an absolute masterpiece, what a missed opportunity.
Mm
Fun fact: Danny DeVito voiced lorax in russian for movie release in russian speaking countries
He could do well actually, I believe.
So basically the whole movie but just Danny devito doing various impressions on all of the characters?
I love the fact that Dany Devito voiced the Lorax's charecter in the versions of other languages. Even without speking them, he learned the lines by sounds.
The fact they went the entirety of this reaction without saying the word "Tumblr" once is shocking to me
Still very interesting to say the least
More even when you realize they are actually aware about the Tik Tok (I think they mistook it for Instagram) edits

When he said "twitter for 14 year olds that this was popular on" my immediate thought was tumblr
The fact that YMS doesn't know about all of the rabid fans of Onceler is insane

TumblR sexymen moment
They shipped his young self with his older self I think right? I wasn't on Tumblr but I existed in a Tumblr adjacent circle of individuals who were more aware of Tumblr and made a lot of jokes. Like yeah the one who said that, Homestuck fan.
I'm so sad none of them seemed to know about the rampant selfcest that went on through the Lorax fandom. Tumblr was full of teenage girls shipping Onceler with himself. There wasn't enough shipping material in the movie, so they just made the Onceler before and after the green suit separate characters and shipped the living shit out of them. I feel like these guys would've had a field day with that knowledge.

These are good things to be ignorant of.
Why would anyone be sad about someone not knowing that
Bruh I would live better not knowing about the Onceler Fandom, that stuff was nasty.
A true "you're not the only one cursed with knowledge" moment.
There is a cut song from The Lorax called _"Biggering"_ which the song actually stayed faithful to the original book's message. It's like _"How Bad Can It Be?"_ but more like a dramatic rock opera than an upbeat pop music.
The story of the Lorax is maybe about raising the environmental awareness, but it's also a cautionary tale of corporate greed.
Biggering was better than the entire movie we got combined ngl
Ggxv
The song hit too close to home I guess.
That song is so good I feel like it genuinely woke me up to how cooperations don’t care about us and their greed
That song is unbelievable. If it’d been finished it would’ve been the best animated movie song ever imo
YMS not knowing about this movie's relevance to meme culture is sending me 💀
It's refreshing, really. Not every reaction needs to lean hard on modern memes.

I don't know why this made me laugh so much
There was a separate twitter for 14 year olds that this was big on. It's called tumblr.
The environmental message may be skewed, (and hypocritical, when you consider the film's promotional deals,) but you must admit Danny DeVito was the perfect choice to voice The Lorax. Every one of his lines land perfectly. And "How bad can I be?" Is a great villain song. Though I wish they had kept the much more powerful and cutting "Biggering" instead.
Biggering is so freaking good.
Devito was the perfect choice.
They seriously thought the Lorax should be selling Mazdas?
@@thusnameddigital9397Yep.
the problem was that the original cartoon made both sides arguments
the need to be sustainable and not over exploiting nature and resources which are limited
vs the need of jobs and means to support workers and their families
but the cartoon makes the point that there needs to be a balance but the Oncler was not interested in doing so
while it tres to imply a compromise it makes note that the unclear is still in the wrong
the issue is fr the movie they decided that they didn’t want the Oncler to be the bad guy so, they make his family be the corrupting” influence that coerces him into being bad
this is the problem with a lot of the film adaptations, they do not want to alienate the audience or make the characters look bad
so they introduce the “liar revealed” trope or there being some other force that forces the characters to do bad so we don’t have any thoughts on duality of man and or how a lot of good people will make mistakes based on furnace, greed, desire etc.
The funny thing about “How Bad Can I Be?” Is that it was originally supposed to be a song called “Biggering.” But illumination cut it from the movie because it portrayed corporate greed too well, and they claimed it was “Too intense for children.” We all know the real reason why they cut the song tho.
Tbf its still pretty heavy for s kids films. And the "this doesnt seem like a sustainable business" thats the whole point. It it mirrors how that kind of company runs in real life
The fact that yms had like no experience with Lorax memes actually floors me. I could barely escape the “how thicc can I possibly be?” Meme among others on tumblr as a kid

Apparently Audrey is 15, and Ted is 12. So a 15 year old literally kissed a 12 year old simp on the cheek because he planted a tree.
To be fair (which this movie doesn’t really deserve but whatever), Ted acts more like a 15 year old than a 12 year old and I feel like the writers were just going off the assumption ‘they are both teenagers of similar age’
im older than him but his voice sounds deeper than mine
I never understood why the Onceler never thought to replant trees while his business was in operation. The US logging industry plants almost 2 billion trees annually, while harvesting only 950 million. So we have a net GAIN for trees every year.
Ya because otherwise there wouldn't be trees to cut elementary level economics
You don't really have a "net gain" since the major issue is the harvesting of trees that are thousands of years old, not to mention some species of trees being exceptionally rare and taking far longer to mature because of the particular wood they are harvested for.
Its almost poetic that studio meddling prevented this movie from being *much* darker and taking itself more seriously like the original
In fact, the Onceler's original song for this movie, that was cut down in the actual release, was *much* darker and more thought provoking as it suggested that his main flaw , and the reason why he went as far as he did, wasn't his *greed* but rather the grandad of all human flaws: *pride*
Which honestly fits much more into what they were going for with the Onceler in this movie. His family treated him like garbage, so he developed an inferiority complex. So once he realised that he had an idea that could actually make him rich and famous, he took it to make sure *everyone* respected him. But he went too far and lost everything anyway.
Obviously, this is a far cry from the original Onceler who wasn't intended to be sympathised with, have a backstory or even a face. The Onceler was simply the personification of human selfishness and the idea was that *anyone* could be the Onceler.
But, still, this could have been an interesting take had the people making the movie not had their creative process meddled with.
The cut demo song "Biggering" was so much more fantastic than the entire movie that was tossed to us. I will die on this hill.
That was also part of an entire first draft that was far more dark and faithful to the original, as well as being even more anti-capitalist than this. As you should expect it was shot down almost instantly
The fact the Onceler fandom never simped for the gilf Onceler tells me tumblr back then didn't have taste
Well the onceler fandom are too scared to simp the old man onceler
"Was there a separate twitter for 14 year olds that this was big on?"
Yes it was called Tumblr
There's a 1972 animated adaptation of the Lorax, (one year after the release of the book) which it's really faithful to the original source, well paced and delivers the message of the book about capitalism and deforestation in a genuine way.
And the book also tell us that rich people are evil
HOLY SHIT YMS?! This is a crossover I never would've expected to happen. That's awesome.

At least the how bad you could be song is good and they didn't make it cringed
the song biggering is literally better than the entire finished movie, but it was mean about corporations and of course they couldnt have that so it had to go 🙄
@@Dashiell777please tell me this is sarcasm
@@rynblissSo is How Bad Can I Be. They even share almost the exact same lyrics, outside the Lorax calling out the Onceler being greedy, which was really obvious and Onceler saying "how bad can I be" a lot over "biggering" repeatedly.
They just wanted to make it a weird hip hop song because "kids". Biggering wasn't very catchy but they're essentially the same song.
@@johnathonmeadows72 no
I'm serious I actually like it. The song is catchy and I like
as the song goes on it shows the environment getting worse and worse.
I think them cutting out the other song and the reasoning behind it doesn't make any sense I do have to admit I do really like this song and the other songs in this movie.
It's one of the things I actually like about this movie. Because I know in this movie a lot of the animals get abused and stuff which is something I don't like I do feel like The Lorax can be unlikable at times
"Thats a woman?" is the best quote in all of the lorax
Yea bc they 😢
I just love how the entire movies problems (the trees being cut down) would have been negated if the once-Ler used a ladder to get the cotton on top
The onceler made all this progress, but forgot about sustainable farms.
LOL I love how you pointed out Taylor Swift’s hypocrisy by pointing out how she claims that she cares about the environment but constantly flies on her private jet everywhere. It’s hilarious how the majority of celebrities who claim that they are environmentalists own their own private jets and yachts.
As bad as it is they still don't contribute to pollution as much as China and India.
If all the celebrities and western world started living like the dawn of civilization (in huts made of leaves in clothes made of leaves with food made of bugs and leaves) and completely erased their carbon footprint, it wouldn't even make a dent in worldwide pollution.
If you want to tell people to give up their comforts, start with yourself (generally speaking) and stop telling people to eat the bugs.
The onceler really got his product on the shark tank and was able destroy a entire ecosystem afterwards
The humor difference between STM and YMS is so staggering 😂

the consistent attempt at gaslighting Kor and Jack into believing the Lorax had no cultural impact was funnier than the entire movie.
you guys should see the 1972 Lorax movie, the story, animation, and overall message are a million times better than the Illumination movie
It doesn't try to comfort the audience with a happy ending. The ending of the original is an odd mix of deep melancholy, but also hope.
It is, in short, an ending that sticks with you. The illumination film however, you see once and then forget it exists.
I like both mocies
this is so frustrating how unaware they are of the onceler's impact

Even though the movie didn’t age well, you cannot deny the fact that “how can I be” is a banger
It’s okay, but Biggering is real banger
I was not expecting YMS to make an appearance, but as a gay furry he really fits in with the milk
I unironicly like this movie because of the memes
The original Lorax wasn't about oxygen at all. It's just about how much it would suck if we couldn't see trees.
Not just that, he was also taking away the animals' homes. Not to mention how the smoke from the factory made the air too dirty to breathe and there were no trees to clean it. That and the oil made the water too dirty to live in.
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 I just read the lorax again to be sure and the word oxygen doesn't come up and single time. In fact, the last stanza says to give the Truffula seed fresh air so in the world of the original book fresh air still exists and its necessary for bringing the trees back from extinction.
But since you whinged and whined I'll ammend my original statement:
The original Lorax wasn't about oxygen at all. It's just about how much it would suck if we couldn't see trees or animals and the river and air smelled bad.
Are you happy now? Personally I think my first try had more sting.
Why didn’t they include the “Let it die” part. That’s the best part of the entire movie.
This movie just shows why Dr Seuss didn’t want his books to be turned into movies.
I remember when I first watched this movie as a 9 year old, that I cried at the end when the old man hugged the lorax.
Weird times
I've said this before and will say this again: Princess Mononoke is literally what this movie couldn't be.
What's that supposed to mean?
@@michaellarose4913princess mononoke has the same basic environmental message while being an infinitely better film. I would also posit that the original animated film is literally what this movie couldn't be.

@@nunya2587the original lorax movie had a better message I think idk
The original cartoon has a reason for the trees not being replanted, they take a long time to germinate and grow, abd the pollution created by the factories would've overpowered any seeds they were potentially planting anyway.
"Progress progresses too fast."
They turned the Onceler into an emo band member.💀
Truuuuu

He literally looks like Ryan Ross in the 2000s
And I love him for it
"I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees-"
My brain, finishing that sentence for me: "Say that again, I'll break your fucking knees."
"Why is he so pretty?" Tumblr is knocking at your door
After a surgery I had when I was 8, the Lorax was the very first movie I saw, and I remember it so vividly from that. It will always be close to me.
I love the "one slur"
“is there a separate twitter for 14 year olds” THAT IS TUMBLR
You’d be surprised how popular teenage onceler was..
This collab arc you guys are in right now is amazing and having the actual Lorax in person joining the reaction pretty sweet xD
If anyone is curious:
Ted is 12 and Audrey is 15, Once-ler is 20s in flashbacks and roughly 50 in modern day
The moment you start to realize that they made Ted only want to learn about trees, simply because he was a literal SIMP. This dude is literally Milhouse trying to make a move on Lisa. Tell me he's not the person who would say, "I'm very passionate about the planet!" to Audrey only to be caught, sucker punched, and told, "That's for selling out your beliefs!".
This truly is an ironic masterpice.
Well a very cheesy masterpiece to be exact
"Was there a separate twitter for 14 year olds?" Yes. It was tumblr and when this movie came out, it became a lawless land. The Onecler was where the term Tumblr Sexy Man was coined.
If I had to change one thing about this movie, it’d be how the handled the reveal of the Once-Ler’s face. If they had found a way to not show it thru-out the movie and then revealed it at the end (where he cuts down the wood covering up the window) it would’ve been way more impactful. And Tumblr wouldn’t be thirsting over him which is a bonus.
Now we wait for them to react to another Dr. Seuss movie. I nominate Horton Hears a Who
I went back and watched the original cut of "Biggering" as well as the original 70s short, and gosh, they do it in different ways, but they get the point of the story across much better.
The 70s cartoon had the guts to end with it hanging - that things are really bad - so what are we going to do about it?
By giving this story a happy ending with a single bad guy, it means everyone can walk out of the movie feeling good about themselves, and not think about the message that Illumination tried to bury.
This movie will never leave my mind and it kinda scares me
To be fair can something age poorly if it was never good to begin with?
What makes it bad?
@@shad216jfI think the unbelievably hypocritical and ironic message of the movie is enough to make it bad.

The onceler probably had MILLIONS of seeds from all the trees he cut down, so where the fuck did they go
Planting trees? That's man-hours. And for what? The shareholders don't get any benefit from planting trees because they don't produce profit by next quarter. They're overhead. Better to just keep cutting them down and once all the trees are gone float away on your golden parachute. The only really inaccurate thing about the Onceler is that he didn't retire to this universe's version of Bermuda with his billions after leaving a desolate nightmare hellscape of toxic, unusable wasteland behind.
Canonically everyone in the movie hasn't touched grass
