We all know what the moral to The Lorax is, right? Respect the environment and conservation. Well guess what, you're WRONG! At least, you are wrong if we are talking about the 2012 movie version of The Lorax. You see, that movie made some... interesting changes to the story we all know and love. Changes that kind of ruin that message. In fact, it almost turns it on it's head and says the opposite. Yet, the movie STILL claims to be about environmentalism. Get ready, I am about to expose all of the LIES of The Lorax movie!

We just gonna ignore biggering? The best song in the album that doesn't acctualy appear in the movie because it hit illumination too close to home.
-
"I am the Lorax and I speak for the trees. Save the Amazon, or I'll break your knees." ~ The Lorax
-
Fun Fact: In french, “how bad can I be” has a line that says “I know it’s bad, but whatever” this shows The Onceler knew what he was doing, and not as innocent as he seems.
-
The thing is, they originally didn't plan for the onceler to be this way. If you listen to the song that was supposed to be in place "biggering", he truly is the villain but they where like "that's a little to similar to us, we need to make him not the bad guy..."
-
Like the Lorax, Danny Devito is a short guy with godly powers.
-
"It seems... Not bad at all" Sir there is a glowing child.
-
He originally said “who cares if SOME THINGS are dying”
-
i honestly think that once ler's mum is the real bad guy, once ler had no intention of chopping the trees, she put the idea in his head
-
“It’s not evil, it’s just stupid” idk why but I love this line
-
The trees can’t be harmed if the Lorax is armed.
-
“ Are you sure the Once-ler isn’t a bad guy? “ Plays biggering (If your wondering what biggering is, it’s a scrapped song)
-
13:52 the guy that said “SEEDS WILL RUIN US ALL!” was one of O’Hares marketing people so just keep that in mind
-
Ted only wanted a tree to get his crush so it is sad to know that he did not really want trees. How could have I missed this.
-
"I am the Lorax, and I speak for the trees." "And for some reason, they're speaking Vietnamese."
-
They should have kept the song “biggering” because it’s so much more villainous and makes him come off as more of an awful person. “Who cares if a few trees are dying?” But in biggering it’s “who cares if a few THINGS are dying” acknowledging that he’s doing much more than JUST killing trees.
-
Fun fact: illumination cut the song "biggering" from the movie as it paints the onceler (aka the evil corporate business man aka illumination themselves) as the most evil man in the world meanwhile in "how bad can i be?" He's just a wittle stupid guy and we all make mistakes which is a tactic used by big companies to seem innocent when something bad such as: purposfully bad security on websites, unsafe caves that they are fully aware are unsafe, ect. In these situations they dont fix it untill someone finds it out then they act stupid then and only then will they fix the problem
-
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not." my favorite Dr. Seuss quote ever.
-
MatPat acknowledging the existence of Onceler x Evil Onceler is probably the most cursed thing Ive heard this week
-
Fun fact, the term sin comes from an archery term meaning to miss the target. So you could reasonably say that Illumination Entertainment sinned with the Lorax.
