We Watched The Lorax For The LORE

- Today we're watching Illumination's The LORAX! Just like with our Minions videos we're gonna see how deep (or not) the lore with this one goes. Oh and also how deep our love for the once-ler is. He has so much swag fr, who cares if he's causing mass pollution on a scale that'll warm the earth up faster than an industrial microwave.

The Lorax - 2012
Twelve-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) lives in a place virtually devoid of nature; no flowers or trees grow in the town of Thneedville. Ted would very much like to win the heart of Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, but to do this, he must find that which she most desires: a Truffula tree. To get it, Ted delves into the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), once the gruff guardian of the forest, and the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who let greed overtake his respect for nature.

Microwave Society is managed by Society Media, we make videos and this is our main channel.
Fun fact: There was an early version of How Bad Can I Be? (the song that plays when the Once-ler becomes consumed by greed and pride) called Biggering. This version also had the Lorax try to prevent the Once-ler from turning into a greedy businessman and took most of the lyrics from the first and last non-chorus lines of the final version, in which they both appear during the second half in this version. This was actually more menacing than the final version, during the second half it turns from ballad into metal, and an opera chorus is heard near the end, and the line "Who cares if a few trees are dying?" was going to be "Who cares if some things are dying?". This song actually stood out compared to the ones used in the final product, and could've saved the Once-ler's character, but it was cut since it was too dark, which, ironically, was going to be used in an adaptation of one of Dr. Seuss's darkest stories.
EDIT (8/12/2023): Okay, so it wasn't really because it was anti-corporate (I got that from Schaffrillas when he was talking about The Lorax in his Illumination ranking), I don't know how "anti-corporate" ties into it being cut, but I guess if it means it won't market enough, it kinda makes sense as a phrase. Still, Biggering is a great song.
It's True
What I’m getting from this is that corporate ruins everything including stuff that says corporate ruins everything.
MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL PRODUCTS! CAN'T FRET OVER EVERY TREE!
‘Biggering’ slaps so hard
I love that song. I bring it up every time somebody mentions The Lorax, which currently totals 0 times, but I totally would bring it up if someone were to ever mention it
I loved it when the onceler said "It's Biggering Time" and proceeded to explain his justification on ruining the environment.
and then they didn’t put the song called “Biggering” into the movie even though it was made for the movie
Yyyup

@@gibbous_silver yea, Biggering is considered one of my favorite songs of all time, its the thing illumination feared the most. the truth
Fun Fact: The reason why crushing cans is synonymous with strength is because when canned drinks (beer) first released, they were made out of steel, and coated with Tin to prevent rusting.
Jude will literally still find some dumb shit to cry about anyways 💀💀

Interesting!

@@shikitohno47 dawg chill
fun fact: did you know in The Lorax there is a character called the Lorax who speaks for the trees
no way
and for some fucking reason, *they speak vietnamese*
fun fact number 2: the lorax is a movie
No way😏
And if you carry on cutting them down, the Lorax will break both your knees
My favorite thing about this "pro-environment" movie was the marketing where they sponsored a car, a normal gas-guzzling car, and gave it the "truffala tree seal of approval.
Just like the villain of the movie did👍
In school one year we had to do a presentation about the industrial Revolution and a part of it was making a song or poem to present to the class. Most kids did sad stories from the perspective of child workers but because Lorax memes were big at the time, I just sang How Bad Can I Be with slight lyric changes in front of the whole class. All of the students just stared at me and my partner who was supposed to sing along just bailed on me, thank you for reminding me of this moment.
Edit: yeah I know I probably should've done biggering, but I didn't know it existed and didn't have the same dumb memes around it, sorry to disappoint you all
……yikes
You're a legend, completely unapreciated in your time and by your peers. If my students ever do something so creative I will be a very happy teacher.
You truly are the entity of all time
your partner is going to hell
please! What was your mark on that? That sounds so funny!
ah yes, the lore-ax, featuring the once-lore
Face the power of my lore-axe
We should start calling it the lore-ax

But hey, that's just a theory. A FILM THEORY!
he cut down the trees with his lore-axe
The once-lore used to have lore but it no longer exists anymore
I feel like the reason why a lot of these movies came out around this time was because very large companies were trying to shift focus from them to a more "consumer guilt" approach. Like "yeah guys, we pollute a lot, but you idiots use straws and drive to work when you could be saving the planet". Now some consumers are getting wise to that, so they're back to the whole "pay people to deny the impact on the planet" view
MatPat actually sides with the corporations in this argument. Yeah I don't like MatPat that much.

5:52 always makes me die of laughter after he said *N A C H O 🧀 C H E E S E*
No joke I actually had a long talk with my friends about the Lorax Lore and we came to these conclusions (I wrote this before watching the vid just to see if we came to the same conclusions):
O'Hare not only runs a miniature city state, but has also perfected weather control technology, as seen through the blue sky in the town versus the overcast outside.
Thneedville might be a bastion of the Christian Faith, as seen through the 'parking lot' one liner.
The factory talked about in the 'smog in the sky scene' is actually outside of the city walls. There is a good chance it is the Oncler's old Thneed factory modernized to produce for O'Hare.
Thneedville is also possibly a pocket dimension, as seen through the vast suburbs compared to the seemingly small size of the city itself.
The Education System of Thneedville might teach O'Hare to be a sort of savior, not to mention raise the kids to be fine with everything being fake and plastic.
And now for the most interesting part:
As for the air O'Hare sells, it cannot be air, since in the commercial scene, it shoots out of the bottle like a vacuum. This either means that the 'air' inside the bottle is another kind of gas, or the entire town of Thneedville is pressurized like a gas canister somehow, and the citizens are actually breathing an artificially produced gas meant to simulate oxygen. This could explain why all the flowers at the beginning actuvate only when the man walks past with the O'Hare Can: They are mean to activate when this 'air gas' is around. However, it is also obvious that the peole can still breath, and it is clear that they buy O'Hare air to survive daily life. Yet at the same time, the toxic waste produced by this way of life seems to be non lethal, as seen through the glowing boy. What this all means is unknown to me yet, but I will think about it a little more.
Damn that's some deep lore here. The theorizer and matpat would be proud👍
yo socrates its a fucking kids movie stop overthinking it
@@henryjacobs3689 shush
@@henryjacobs3689 r/whoooooooooosh
The "air" is probably not air, O 'Hare probably sells the fuckers a mutagen that makes them resistant to their artificial lifestyle and the deteriorated quality from the exterior, the tree was not dangerous for producing air for free, it was because it threatened the propaganda around the real purpose of "air". O'hare read 1984, and decided it was for noobs.
You know, because illumination is making the mario movie, the donkey king reference the onceler makes is now official universal lore.
Dr. Seuss called himself a doctor as part of his pen name because his father always wanted him to practice medicine. Though he did not earn a doctorate himself, instead he earned a Bachelor's at Dartmouth College in 1925. However in 1956, the same college gave him an HONORARY doctorate. He also got honorary degrees from other prestigious institutions like Princeton in 1985. Despite him not being an actual doctor, Dartmouth College opted to rename their medical school after him, the Geisel School of Medicine in 2012.
Also, I love how the trees in the snowboarding scene of the chase sequence are straight up Lego trees....LEGO REFERENCE IN THE LORAX! It really is all coming together

The Onceler could have prevented this entire movie from happening if he had discovered the arcane technology of farming for the SEEDS as well as the trees themselves so he could grow more trees for his own production while also leaving more trees in their natural habitats

yeah...i said i wouldnt get a crush on him but now I have someone help me please 💀
My main problem is the fact that they could’ve made once-lers character way better by including the original version of „how bad can I be” called „biggering”. It potrayed once-ler as a character that knew what he was doing to the enviroment but simply didn’t care, instead of the version we got in the end where he made an oopsie.

The entire plot of the movie could've been avoided if the Onceler just replanted the trees like actual logging companies

It’s crazy how Biggering (a deleted song the Onceler would sing) is better than the entire movie.
It’s because after they wrote it they realized it was too dark for a kids movie. ya know the movie that’s about climate change, deforestation and corporate greed😀

edit: its only SOME clips that are mirrored

The reason the can crushing thing is so common in media is because when it was first used as a show of strength, cans weremade out of steel, not aluminum, so crushing them against your head or in the case with 2 fingers would've actually been impressive.

Truly the series of all time!

0:39 yes, they are as shown by the minion in the drawer later on, they are also part of the dr Seuss universe too, they’re merged.
My favorite part of this movie was when the Lorax said "oh my god if I see another comment on RUclips based off morbin time I will hit several children with my car. Oh my god make it stop. Oh my god make it stop. Oh my god make it stop." Then proceeded to Lorax all over everyone. Truly one of the movies of all time.
As long as there's no paper products in the car / on the child, he can morally do it too.
