- It’s one thing to say that the Illumination movie was a disappointment. It’s another to show them how it’s done.

You guys really outdid yourselves this time. The art was perfect, the story was perfect…really everything was perfect.
I actually really love this idea, and wish it could have been reality. Don’t get me wrong, I like the original Illumination adaptation, but it’s definitely not perfect. The moral is very, very flawed compared to the book, while this idea follows the book to a T, like it was intended to be. Maybe it could have one or two musical numbers, one of them being Biggering, as that fully represents his corporate greed getting, well, bigger.
This makes me realize how much potential a Lorax Movie had, if thing were different, it could be considered a masterpiece
this concept is amazing. you don't need to find a movie company to make this happen. you just need your RUclips account, a budget, some staff and your concept could become a reality. I would really love to see that.
I understand that not a lot of people including you like this adaptation of the book, but Betty White was in it, and she sadly passed away today. She was SO close to being 100 years old in just two weeks and three days.
Yeah. The way this sounds and is designed sounds WAY better than the one illumination made. Instead of being corporate and mainstream, you tell a story that shows two different sides and try to tell a story that makes people to stop and think. And with kids and adults, that's something you need to do to help them forge their own path. Stop and think, the mainstream lorax gives you obvious answers without making you stop and think.
I think that your idea would have made a much better movie and is definitely in the spirit of Dr Seuss. The Once-ler being shown as a physical representation of how corporate greed can twist one’s perception of the world and its needs yet he isn’t pure evil but he’s not completely innocent is important part of the story. The Illumination version sort of got that right but also wrong at the same time by making him be a bit too happy during the entire movie.
This is the better version. No contest.
I would love to see this turned into a mini series where you make your own version on Dr. Seuss movies.
I have an idea: The framing device would be a completely fictitious, fantastical take on the life of Dr. Seuss himself: Ted is a teenage writer who searches the surrounding areas around Thneed-Ville for inspiration for his books. His dream is to one day settle down with Audrey, his girlfriend, and have his work be published for all to read. One day, upon seeing graffiti of Truffula Trees, he asks his parents what happened to them. He's pointed to the home of The Onceler, and upon meeting him and paying the fine of fifteen cents, a nail and snail shell, the main story plays out. The framing device ends with Ted, now having the last seed, choosing to plant it in a pot. Years later, with Audrey as his wife, the plant inspires him to write The Lorax as his newest book.
You really put a lot of thought into this. I hope to see your vision of The Lorax get realized one day just to see how it turns out, plus it really would be nice to see a stop motion Suess project, if not necessary claymation specifically.
One thing i would like to point out is, i think you should have included the biggering in your concept, and have the once-ler have his turning moment, the moment where we know that theres the once-ler has officially been corrupted. I get that this is not really trying to be like the 2012 version of the lorax, but i think biggering could make the movie more remarkable, but also have the movie expand the once-ler's character development through it.
This was the first “How I Would Have Made” video of yours that I’ve watched and I picked the perfect one. Absolutely perfect ideas!
I feel your pain. Great book + good voice actors SHOULD equal good movie, but it doesn't. I'd definitely like to see the version of the movie you just pitched, it sounds a bit like what I expected (and wanted) from the actual movie.
I think it would be a good idea to reveal Once-ler's face in the end as a sort of way to expose the face behind all these bad decisions to the audience.
Your approach sounds promising. It could be potentially interesting if your version was also a musical, similar to the other animated adaptations. The idea of making The Lorax a movie musical is a good one since it's an interesting way to get into the Onceler's mind, but the approach Illumination took in making that a movie musical was ... not great. There was even a cut song for that movie called "Biggering", which would have been much more effective at showing the Onceler's inner thought process than "How Bad Can I Be?"
Apparently there
This was beautiful.
The onceler could be more cold hearted, he doesn’t feel like a villain, more like a miss under stud teen.
