Yeah I thought that too that they should of just got the fluff on top, in the movie. The Once-ler had his family to help him out with the business of the thneeds. The mom told him that production wasn't going fast because they were only pulling out the fluff from the tree which took a long time. She persuade him to just cut down the trees to make production go faster, he was unsure about it but decide to go with it then the bad stuff happen later on...what a powerful story
Look, I understand that if I don't like something I'm not going to watch it. And I won't. But for those who are jumping down my throat, and there are some, I was just posting my opinion. Nothing more. I'm not trying to start a fight, I was just posting what I felt.
If I have offended anyone then I apologize. For those who supported me, thank you.
I have an idea for a sequel to the Lorax! It's called "The Lorax™ 2: The Lorax Helps Promote Various Companies Like Mazda™ and IHOP™". I got the idea from these cruddy tie ins to the new Lorax movie!
i have the book, and i've seen this version over 100 times. my baby cousin caity keeps saying i wanna see the lorax! so i grabbed my laptop went on youtube and she looked at me and said "this is the lorax?" and i said yes, dont watch the one they're showing in movie theaters its bad. and she looked at me and said "okay that ones bad, this ones good" shows to me that if you show a little kid the good things in life theyll have a heart like the lorax.
The irony of this movie is it probably does more harm than good, if you want to protect trees. Under capitalism as the price of trees goes up more will be planted, more than before, so you actually will have more than the forest had before. The movies message is to impede capitalism because it destroys the trees, which is false.
@zac1bar83 I don't think this story is against capitalism. Rather, it's against irresponsible capitalists who don't know how to give back by replanting trees after harvesting.
@lifewithjuan but that’s the point if some guy in the northwest wants to keep making money buy leasing his land to a logging company, as the price goes up he will want to plant more trees, it has nothing to do with his good heart it has to do with the price. He could be very irresponsible by cutting down all his trees but he will go out of business fast and someone else would own his land at a very cheap price.
I just saw the movie tonight, I am a huge Dr. Seuss fan for a long time. I've seen remakes of these movies and many have been bad..but I must admit The Lorax was not completely ruined or in anyway bad, there was more added but it had to be added..unless it would be a T.V. movie. I loved the movie, I don't cry in the movie theater, but this movie touched me. The original and remake because the message is still strong. The way the trees fall is the way the trees lead..watch where the tree leads.
I don't think they "ruined" the movie. Jeez. People. look. Is the idea of saving the trees important? Or are the graphics that make you like this version this much? I'm not saying liking it is wrong, but seriously! Have they changed the idea? If you think they did, how? And at least consider the new movie or watch it before you criticize saying that it's horrible. Maybe some people haven't even heard of the lorax and the new movie is going to the big screen, right? Won't more people no about it?
I just saw the movie in IMAX. It was 80% true to the story, and it had the dark and depressing moment when the last tree was chopped down and all of the animals had to move out. It even had the Lorax lifting himself to who-knows-where. Sure, the subplots kinda ruined it a bit, but it was still enjoyable.
I watched this b4 i had even heard of the new movie. I love the original and im only 15. My mom said "No! no! Watch this! This one is good!" So I did, bcuz I love Dr. Suess :)
@TheEccentricityOMe That's the exact same feeling people have when they ask "Why do you have to drill for oil in the middle of a wildlife preserve?" or "Why do you have to have lay a giant oil pipeline through our eminently domained land?" And the answer is always the same, because it's easier and more profitable.
@altrocks, Not the way I figure it. I would think it's make sense to take some from the tree and let it grow more. I assume it's like leaves and can grow back.
@lonestarfriend, According to the new movie, it won't. They did just take the tops at first in the new movie and then they cut the trees down to save time instead of slowly and carefully harvesting the fluff.
@TheEccentricityOMe I can understand at the beginning, when it was only Once-ler by himself. But once he started building all those crazy cars and inventions, he couldn't find a way to do it without killing the whole tree?? What a waste!
@MaestorXiphosXPress, I agree, I mean a guy who can invent the Super Axe Hacker that can cut down four truffula trees with one smacker should be enough of an inventer to make something that can harvest the fluff.
Just saw the new version, and I can tell you it was much better than I expected. There are some very catchy musical numbers in it, and a few moments that got me nostalgic and sentimental.
The message about environmentalism wasn't lost in the film, and it wasn't just centered around the protagonist's love interest. The new version actually does the old one some justice, and there are some elements added to the story that make it much more interesting.
the 19 people who disliked this dislike dr.suess, his books, and are going to go watch the new lorax movie because they can't stand the old version of the dr.suess books, and don't know what originality is
@midgetwthahacksaw Are you referring to the 3-D remake of the Lorax which does not resemble the original story at all? Then I agree. The Lorax has an important message for our children the remake does not have that message from I have seen in the advertisements.
@midgetwthahacksaw How does it hurt you at all if Hollywood remakes something? It'll make a lot of people happy. If you don't like it, don't go see it.
@Niakoleyeboy13 I just saw the movie today, and rather than ruin, they took an already powerful story, and made it even more powerful and tear jerking than before, I actually found myself more environmentally conscious after I saw it.
@coasterjudge, It strengthened my sympathy for the Once-ler. I believe he's just misunderstood. I don't think he would have done what he did if he knew the environmental consequences. You can see at the end of both versions that he has a heart to some degree. The poor guy missed the Lorax and held onto the seed hoping that someone young enough could plant it. I mean it takes 10 months to germinate, 10 to grow into a sapling, and he gets cut off mentioning the next 10 years of something.
lorax-i speak for the trees!!! buddy,action is louder then words.beat the dude down,set his house on fire,start a petition to keep them from moving in.but take action.like the people in iran or the folks on wallstreet(what they accomplished,i don't know) but DO something,sometimes words aren't good enough.
This is a good lesson. Never cut down trees I demand. Just plant more. You never no what you hurt or down to your town. You should only cut down trees for things u really need like medicine. Please listen 2 me. And watch the hamburger hotdog and tiger show give it a thumbs up and comment something good thanks allot 4 trees
The new movie morphed the characters' personalities in a bad way. The Lorax is now a generic grumpy old coot who hates anything that breathes, the barbaloots are annoying gluttons who supposedly steal the show, and the Once-Ler is the Grinch's goofy cousin.
This one was epic and a classic, a teaching to kids of supply and demand vs materials and renewal..... the movie I can already tell will be nothing but a "Save the rain forest" Liberal b!tch fest taking away from what we got from this epic story from Theodor Seuss Geisel and turn it to... crap. What happened to original ideas that didn't have a crap ton of political blah blah behind it... all I'm saying. if you want to rant on an issue don't screw with classic children stories.
@TNGtreker Hello my friends, far and near, I have something you simply must hear. You people complain, whine, and boast about trivial matters that mean nothing to most. The new Lorax movie from what I have seen continues where this left off in the very last scene. The boy takes the seed and then wanders off leaving old onceler to hack and to cough. It was already liberal and already hippie. Heck the Lorax is a tree hugger you ninny.
@TNGtreker, Actually I'm more mad at the stupid Mazda commercial with the Lorax backing a polluting car than I am anything else. Please sign my petition on change.org.
@TheEccentricityOMe I have indeed. I own Halloween is Grinch night on video cassette still. and I do recall watching The Grinch Grinches The cat In the Hat. that one was epic.
I think the new movie in 3D I think well I am wondering if it is in 3D and I really want to watch it so I am going to watch it with my sister and my mom wants to watch it to
@m7a7b725 i dont judge movies untill i watch them. i have an open mind like that. there are movies lots of people told me have sucked bad. then i watch them and find they were not so bad.
"And I'm asking you sir, at the top of my lungs - that thing! That horrible thing that I see! What's that thing you've made out of my childhood memorie?" (Referring to the new movie)
@pumkinpie89 he said exaggerated, not extreme. You seem to not appreciate the environment. You don't care for the environment? Without it you don't exist. The changes may not be as noticeably different in your limited view of the world as palpable as the change was after the Once-ler ruined it, but it's happening.
@theserpentsang Look at the fact that yet another Underworld is in theaters. How many Fast n Furious movies were made? No new ideas... Ruining old classics to milk parents dry, really. Disney re-releases remastered 3D blah blah so often. Lion King topped the box office again just months ago.
Okay I'll stop griping. I love the Lorax in its original amazing simple glory. I'm glad I found this video to revisit.
The new Lorax seems to be more distracted sensationalism about a boy winning over a girl. I bet the message regarding the environment and greed will be utterly lost.
@Kitsuneranger Agreed, I agree to an extent with the enviromental message but this is extreme. I don't even really care for the enviroment that much so it's a stretch for me.
this is the version i grew up watching in elementary school. they feel the need to replace great original films like this because unoriginal assholes can't think up new plots for movies!
@theserpantsang I totally agree with you. I also grew up with this during my elementary school years and loved it. The Lorax book and this show are my favorites because of the message of the story. I think the new movie is gonna be a whole lotta suck. I have no desire to see it.If it ain't broke don't fix it, stupid Hollywood!
@theserpantsang your telling me youv'e never seen a movie and thought or said " i could do better than this." i'm not arguing as much as saying it's not the lack of originallity alone as perspective of what a good movie is part of the equation.
@theserpantsang This new movie does not have anything to do with the Lorax! So, my question to the makers who screwed up this movie; why the heck did you call it THE LORAX?
@theserpantsang I remember a few main stars were talking about this movie and they said that the new movie has action/adventure, love (between the main characters, not nature), and will be fun to watch; Dr. Seuss wrote things that were fun, but meaningful, thought provoking and about NATURE! There was a reason for not showing faces, just arms, legs and some voices, even for the bad guy! Not all of that other crap that (Taylor Swift and Zac Efron) said the movie is about!
@theserpantsang lol i know right?? and the next thing that their going to recreate well be green eggs&ham or my favorite,hop on pop. and just like cat in the hat,how the Grinch stole Christmas and horten hears a who,they will screw this one up too.originality no longer exist in Hollywood.
I CAN'T believe that they are remaking this gem... Shame, Shame, Shame. Remaking this is like making Thneeds... fine somethings-that-*no*-people-need.
The Lorax is a wise and noble creature. I'm sorry, but Danny Devito is the last thing that comes to my mind when I think of a wise and noble creature.
@Leatherbubba it's true that they shouldn't have remade The Lorax because it was awesome the first time.....but that being said I find Danny Devito to be quite a noble creature myself.
@timwood1104 For your information, I'd watched the trailer of this movie. That's enough for me. And believe me, I wouldn't waste my money watching that movie.
the new movie could be good you don't really know that until you have seen it i plan on seeing it i don't think it will be good or bad i think it will break even but it is only opinion
@GothicVampireization, Only the zax were yellow-ish and not green like the other two. It was hard trying to tell my grandma last night that the Once-ler was not a Grinch. She was like, "But he's green." lol She had never seen the original Lorax story before.
I don't think the new movie was bad, But I like this version better.

@pumkinpie89 he said exaggerated, not extreme. You seem to not appreciate the environment. You don't care for the environment? Without it you don't exist. The changes may not be as noticeably different in your limited view of the world as palpable as the change was after the Once-ler ruined it, but it's happening.

@theserpentsang Look at the fact that yet another Underworld is in theaters. How many Fast n Furious movies were made? No new ideas... Ruining old classics to milk parents dry, really. Disney re-releases remastered 3D blah blah so often. Lion King topped the box office again just months ago.
Okay I'll stop griping. I love the Lorax in its original amazing simple glory. I'm glad I found this video to revisit.

@theWarmth2k7 I'm not crazy about remakes either. But thank you for enjoying this video and for you comment.

The new Lorax seems to be more distracted sensationalism about a boy winning over a girl. I bet the message regarding the environment and greed will be utterly lost.

@theWarmth2k7 It's not worth watching.
m7a7b725 1 week ago
@theWarmth2k7 I doubt that, from what i see it somewhat follows the message but it seems to exaggerate it a bit much
I'm just analyzing it here!
Kitsuneranger 1 week ago
@Kitsuneranger Agreed, I agree to an extent with the enviromental message but this is extreme. I don't even really care for the enviroment that much so it's a stretch for me.

I still love the original the best of all. Im sure the new movie will be good but you cant beat the classic. I also love the story behind this story.

this is the version i grew up watching in elementary school. they feel the need to replace great original films like this because unoriginal assholes can't think up new plots for movies!

@theserpantsang Well put, my friend!
m7a7b725 1 week ago
@theserpantsang I totally agree with you. I also grew up with this during my elementary school years and loved it. The Lorax book and this show are my favorites because of the message of the story. I think the new movie is gonna be a whole lotta suck. I have no desire to see it.If it ain't broke don't fix it, stupid Hollywood!

@theserpantsang your telling me youv'e never seen a movie and thought or said " i could do better than this." i'm not arguing as much as saying it's not the lack of originallity alone as perspective of what a good movie is part of the equation.

@theserpantsang This new movie does not have anything to do with the Lorax! So, my question to the makers who screwed up this movie; why the heck did you call it THE LORAX?

@theserpantsang I remember a few main stars were talking about this movie and they said that the new movie has action/adventure, love (between the main characters, not nature), and will be fun to watch; Dr. Seuss wrote things that were fun, but meaningful, thought provoking and about NATURE! There was a reason for not showing faces, just arms, legs and some voices, even for the bad guy! Not all of that other crap that (Taylor Swift and Zac Efron) said the movie is about!

THE ZAX = PRIDE; THE GRINCH = ENVY (HATRED more so than wrath); THE ONCE-LER = GREED...
They are all related, but different races of the same species.
That's what I think at least.
GothicVampireization 2 weeks ago
@GothicVampireization, Only the zax were yellow-ish and not green like the other two. It was hard trying to tell my grandma last night that the Once-ler was not a Grinch. She was like, "But he's green." lol She had never seen the original Lorax story before.
TheEccentricityOMe 1 day ago
The Zax is also included in this species bracket, obviously. The Zax is ALWAYS angry and stubborn, unwilling to cooperate.
