- Finished the thumbnails and the storyboard is now complete!
This is my mock-storyboard for the song You Need A Thneed from the soundtrack for The Lorax (2012 movie), originally performed by The 88.
I do not own this song, or Illumination Entertainment.
Hi! Wow! I am so surprised that this video has gotten so many comments and so much attention over the years and I feel like it’s gotten more comments in the last year than it ever did when I first posted it! Thank you to all the people who had nice things to say!
I want tp address a few things based on some commonly asked questions and comments I’ve seen:
❤ This was a fan project and not an official storyboard! I drew this while working a boring job with a lot of downtime. At the time I was a big fan of the movie and lots of talented people were doing animatics for the songs that were on the soundtrack but not used for the final film.
❤ Yes that is Grammy Norma that he twirls the thneed around! I thought it would be fun to reference her and especially her curly hair since I guessed that Onceler and Norma were around the same age.
❤ I’m not crazy about the references to actual political figures at the end and it makes me cringe all these years later. If I could change it I would probably have the Onceler crash a fictitious political rally or debate with a song trying to sell the Thneed or something.
❤ I still occasionally draw but I don’t animate and didn’t go to art school. I was just a bored 21-year-old who was chronically online. I’m an adult now, married, working full time, and although I wish I could make stuff like this still, I just don’t have the time for it anymore!
❤ I don’t think as an adult in my 30s, I like this movie very much LOL but I’m grateful for the friends I made through mutual interest in it way back when.
Thanks guys, take care!
yeah
@user-ot7rx8dk3z I did!
It's curious how the Onceler sounds WAY more charismatic in the original demos
Kinda
Except for biggering.
In Biggering, he sounds like he’s hosting a concert
In "biggering" sounds like a really villian
i think it’s because it’s not ed helms (who voices the onceler)
These deleted songs are actually good. Why eave them out of the song?
Various reasons related to keeping the movie a certain length. A lot of movie songs are written very early in the planning stages, and as production progresses, some get cut based on how necessary they are to the movie. This one was probably dropped in favor of the song "Everybody Needs a Thneed".
I definitely prefer these songs over the ones they ended up using in the film.
Most of what was changed was because illumination makes movies for the specific purpose of making money. They got nervous about what the message behind the original script was (endless monetary growth is impossible and unsustainable/you don’t need large amounts of material things for joy) with their entire business model surrounding money and getting large amounts of money with little work involved. Ironically, in this situation, they’re the Onceler and the finished movie being worse than the demos is a chopped down truffula tree.
@@danwilliams1989 I fail to see how this song is better than the one used in the movie.
@@kierashi9462 Yeah, like all the cut songs just happen to be a lot more cutting than the actual ones used in the movie? That had almost a hundred corporate tie-ins and was made by Illumination?
Oh MY GOD, I love all the little puns in this! Like Norma being in it, and I especially love the end where he's carried away by Obama's guards! That should have happened in the movie. All of it!
@Rickroll'd XDXD it seems like all presidents are old
The unused songs by the 88 including this one and biggering just have such a whimsical feeling to them that I haven't ever gotten from anything else
What do you mean
@@zer289 they have more umph to them
Yes! They're so adventurous!
Everybody needs some *_w e e d_*
A fine thing that all people need.
The weed it's good, we can't deny!
I was just watching that-
Everybody needs some weed, it’s revolutionary guaranteed
The weed is new, the weed is nice
Damn the guitar still plays even when he puts it down.
Magic 🪄 ~
Musical logic
Thneed did the rest of the playing
@@accountlol7409 This is the best comment I read.
Bro this movie would be SO good if they kept the original plot and songs, It wouldnt be considered a joke, but a big masterpiece.
Fr like illumination studios did the Lorax so dirty
It really hurts that an amazing version of the 2012 Lorax could’ve happened, had Illumination not been the ones who made it.
Well, the thing is, Illumination hadn't really done much films back then. Only two: Despicable Me and Hop. So, one good film, one bad film, where do we go from here?
Maybe Blue Sky should've been chosen to make it, given how good their Horton movie was.
If I did:
Dreamworks would accept these demos even their original plot NO MATTER HOW DARK IT IS. (no offense... I think in 2012 I wouldn't have any more problems) and their reasons would be more like... confronting Disney with their WELL MADE musical film (seriously, Dreamworks in those years was competitive with Disney).
Disney would do the same, because since it is a musical movie; and its plot may have small changes and 3D animation.
Sony animation WOULD ALSO DO THE SAME, just a change of 3D animation and its scenes, well... imagine.
If you realize, there would have been incredible versions in each company agreeing with their decisions but... wow.
Is that a young Norma in the storyboard?
Amber Goldsmith OMG
Conspiracy, Granny Norma is the wife of the Once-ler, and ted is the grand child
@@claasgreeneye shut the fuck up and never say that again
@@Glyyee LOOOOOOOOL
@@claasgreeneye i-
0:33 she could be Granny Norma.
I like this a lot more than the final cut version of this song too.
nice profile picture
I like your profile picture
Everybody agrees
It probably would have cost the studio more to get him to sing the songs that weren't included. I would have loved to see the removed/edited songs in the movie, but I understand their reasons for removing/shortening them. There's a million different ways that they could have gone with the movie and the music but of course I love what they came up with. At least they included the original demos on the soundtrack, that was a great treat. It would be so cute if Ed Helms sang Biggering!
If Ed helms and Danny devito ever sang biggering I’d just about poo myself
@@darkink1915 yeeea
@@darkink1915 same
@Adam Tomás Caicedo Gómez WHAT?! WHERE?!?!
I don't know if cute would be the right word to describe it... but it would be amazing, maybe someone can request him to sing it some day.
0:32 Normaler intensifies
Que temazo se mando el once ler, lastima que no dejaron esta versión
No se vale yo quería que la canción este hay
Nisiquiera Biggering se dejaron en la película😭😭👴
0:33 what If that girl is grandma
I would've been fine having this over the other one. Less cringey and focuses more on Oncler than the consumer.
OMG I'd love to see that animated. The part with Norma and Oncie that was adorable lol
The Once-Ler looks like Pinocchio in these storyboard pics!
He also looks like Pinocchio in the fanarts 😂😂
@@Tekken8DVJ... I mean even in the original movie he looks like a tall Pinocchio
0:32 i love how young norma looks here, she's cute 😋
Oh my goodness, another great animatic from years ago. Thank you, youtube, for only giving this to me NOW XD
the 2 people that disliked didnt buy a thneed.
make it 10
Make that 12
I know this isn't Ed Helms singing, but whoever it is sounds a lot like Danny Elfman... Eh, maybe it's just me.
Now that’s all I hear.
Everyone is talking about the song but why do I see NO ONE talking about how we could’ve had BARACK OBAMA in the Lorax? That would have been memed on so much and I would’ve loved it 😭😭😭
we aint sure if it actually would have happened bc its a fanmade story bord
Given the uses and quality of product/materials, that price is insanely good
L How are you alive, i thought Kira killed you
3.98???!!! WHERE IS IT??? I'M BUYING ONE!!!! I love this so much!! Obama needs that thneed!
+Fox Mcloud I'm not really sure. I just searched up for a anime girl that looked like me XD
Hhaha why obama
Is it me, or all of the songs that got cut much better than the original?
@TsarStalinTheFirstthat’s what I said. That’s what Originals are; I.E demos were better than the movie.
The thneed was also $3.98 in the actual movie but people where handing him $100 notes
they were paying for their entire living family
@@waffler-yz3gw guess it really was popular
@@waffler-yz3gw they're paying for their entire lineage lmao
tHEY WERE GONNA PUT OBAMA IN THIS MOVIE
ameliaiscri this is fan made but that would’ve been amazing
@@robotrhinoproductions8191 why bring race into this
@@robotrhinoproductions8191 They took him about because they simply didn’t want to get political.
@@robotrhinoproductions8191 I don't think ANYONE would get mad at it. He was a the time the fucking president.
And this is a fan animatic anyway.
i can’t believe it
How are the best songs in this movie the ones that weren’t put in
Keith Slettedahl sang this song. He sounds great!!
Awesome, now all we need is the bit from the film where the members of his hometown sing it.
0:32 NORMA?! 😳😳😳
I wish this was in the movie 😍 Once-ler would've been looking so cute singing that song😍😍😍
True
The song is super positive, the shocking part is that from an optimistic song about creating your own company we move to one of the most dark and raw about how inhuman can a human be, yes i'm talking about biggering
name checks out
@@PescaoFritoWazaa Which is the perfect impersonation as to why they originally made the Once-ler be such a carismatic and relatable character and then become a full-ass greed and pride driven monster, to show the audience that they can easily be the next once-ler in a far more complex way than just "He has no face ever shown so it could easily be you", as it makes you understand the character and feel like he is someone like you, reacting to things in ways you probably would, making choices you probably would, and having big dreams and ambitions just like you probably do or eventually will, to show that you could easily fall into the same pit the Once-ler did and have the same absurd descent into greed madness and destroy the world, so instead of just looking out for guys like O'hare or the Once-ler we see from the book in real life, you should be looking out for your own thneeds, because nothing grants in a few decades you won't be the one cutting truffula trees.
While the problem with how the Once-ler is portrayed in the final movie is that he never becomes evil in any point of the movie, even when he is destroying the world, he still seems like a good person, so instead of giving out the idea that you could be the next villain, it gives more or so an idea that the current villains we already have destroying the world are actually good people.
Real
I feel like I've heard this before even tho this was cut out of the film...
I'm pretty sure it was in the film
@@thehuman2734 just the first part of it
the first two lines are in the movie by the onceler, the rest was sung by other folks
0:32 - 0:34 Grammy Norma?
Yesss
No one is gonna talk about
B A R A C K O B A M A
im not gonna let this battle be dictated by facts IM RRRRRICH I GOT FAT STACKS AND SUPER PACS
I wanna 3d animate this so badly but there isn't a onceler model anywhere
Wow that would be awesome! It’s crazy how this thing I made 11 years ago still gets comments/interest. I hope you find a model!
@@rachellynnclark4099 Rachel! Ikr? The Lorax fandom revives every year and the old animatics, fanarts and all that stuff are still getting attention nowadays, that's pretty amazing!
this is...beautiful
If you’re brave enough it could also be a weapon
Now I just know the edit wouldve gone crazyy
so this would have happened if the crowd didn't clown on him
Eh? Well since those last lyrics are political parties I thought it would be interesting to have references to well-known party members (like Rick Santorum-R, Ron Paul-Libertarian (even though he's currently running as a Republican) and Obama-D of course). I put the names so that people would be able to identify them offhand and wouldn't be confused as to who they were. In the actual movie of course, the names wouldn't pop up, so it would be a sort of "in-joke" for the adults.
The song credits are at the top, under the likes, I believe it's one of those guys singing...
Hey, perhaps you should know UA-cam has this feature where you the creator can "pin" a comment so that it is Always at the very top of the comment section
Wow, nice video! And hey, there isn't anything wrong with adding the political parties to this. I thought it was a very clever idea. :) Nice work! I liked it very much.
Granny Norma is that you? :0
That's because it's not Ed Helms singing. Actually I'm not sure who is singing (if anyone could tell me that would be great!) This was a song written to be in the movie but never actually used in full. Hope that clears things up.
It's the band, 88.
Best recommendation i ever had
Why wasn’t the Lorax a rock opera?
0:31
Granny Norma!!!
qué mal que no incluyeron algunos de los demos, me gustaban bastante 😕
1:21 barack obama
1:25 IDK Why They Took Me
Not the full version, though. There are a few demo songs that weren't used, the full version of this song being one of them.
1:05 I love his face! XD
cool. a little something for the adults too!
1:22 i fell to the ground
1:21
Why?!
It’s beautiful
He sounds like MIKA
everybody needs a sneed
I haven't commented yet? Geeze, I've been playing this video for the past week. Love it!
I love how everyone just agrees with him early
The oce-ler: Everyone needs a\ ME:STOP!!!
OMG IS YOUNG NORMA
Is it washable tho
Don't Send Oncie to jail
I’ve gotta imagine that the people working on the movie cooked up all these songs and ideas for like a year. Then illumination checked on them for the first time and was like “oh crap! No no no no guys, guys, it’s not supposed to be a good movie! Redo it all redo it all!”
What happend to him
The president Obama Care himself is cannon?!
The Once-ler is very adorable
Obama cancelo la cancion
Obama is actually in the lorax? 1:21
Wait is this storyboard official?
I don't think so, but it looks like it is
Me da risa la referencia que pusieron a Barack Obama 😂😂🖖🏽. Esta canción también explicaría un poco del pasado de Norma, y cómo era de joven 😔👍🏽
Sexo
este storyboard es fanmade pero bue
Obamna
I think this was cut because of that Obama joke but I really like the song though I wish they could have kept it in the movie Just without Obama
Edit: just realize this is fan-made, I'm so stupid!!
They should’ve kept this style of music without going all...corporate generic movie
I really liked this style of music more
My life goal is to redraw this😩
spotify ads be like
I need a thneed
BUY THE THNEED PLEASE Y NEED MONEY
1:21
Creo que por obama se elimino esta cancion
es un fanmade xd
obama would do that to such a great guy.. >:(
Ya
this guy remids me of /watch?v=n7HrijDkfHc who ever voices that
oh my god 1:00 fjdsklfajdklf why

obama. oh cool
lol XD Obama
I don't need a thnee!
obama was in this movie??
It's a fanmade storyboard
I also think that this song is better than everybody needs a thneed but this song doesn't actually have a place in the story.I mean he couldn't sell the thneed so this song is kinda pointless.
Man Illumination really hates actual fun things
Hortun hears a who! was way better but kinda meh 😕
Obama no way
wat
PRESIDENT OBAMA?
OBAMA‼️
He's such a cutie
