What Dr. Seuss story do YOU remember from your childhood?
I do wish you reacted to the 1972 version of Lorax.
So many but the Dr. Seuss books I remember are _Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in The Hat, Fox in Socks, Hop on Pop, The Grinch, The Lorax_ and _Horton Hears a Who_
One fish 2 fish red fish blue fish ❤
Green Eggs & Ham. I've always read that book when I was in pre-school.
Pretty much all of them!
the fact they got Danny DeVito, Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Ed helms, Betty White(RIP), and Rob Riggle in this is insane
Who did Taylor play
Aubrey@@lumityforever
Illumination being contradictory
@@lumityforeverthe love interest of the main character, I think
Wait, who did Betty White play??
O’Hare and Edna Mode really revolutionised hair
someone called for me
DAHLING
Say it: "Edhnaaa Mowwwdd". 😂
@@GMDTurbomaking me wanna watch the incredibles now
I believe Lord farquad from shrek is his father because of how short he is
Danny DeVito was the perfect choice to voice The Lorax, every one of his line lands perfectly. And "How bad can I be?" Is a great villain song. Though I wish they had kept in "Biggering" instead.
Yeah, Biggering is... intense.
He was literally perfect.
Why would they cut it?
@@garnetbird7557I think they thought it was a bit too on the nose and didn't really fit the tone of the movie as well. I could be misremembering though
@@garnetbird7557 long story short, companies behind the movie didn't want a song that intense and that so strongly called them out on what they do basically
This film could have been incredible if they kept the original script. It was originally meant to be a much darker film. It had a more serious tone, The Onceler was a full on villain, Ted's goal wasn't about a girl, and the songs were amazing. The Studio executives nipped that in the bud because it made them look bad. Listen to the demo/storyboard of the song "Biggering" and you'll see what the film could have been.
But thats an even worse adaptation of the book since the books focus is on how balance in business and nature are important
Ted was a lot more spoiled
@@andrewcook2625 There's still a lot we don't know about it, but from what I understand the original script WAS about that, but they went about telling it in a different way than the book did. That's what adaptations are for. They convey the same messages as the original but do it in a different way.
@@alyxvillalobos1031 so an issue in alot of adaptations is understanding that how you tell the messages matters as much as the message itself
So by "going about it in a different way" you often aren't telling the same message and the orginal message will get lost in translation
@@andrewcook2625 "balance" between business and nature isnt important. nature is first and foremost, it is the literal basis of everything. there is no balance to be hand when business/industry produce plastics that are in human blood streams/fetuses, or kill billions of animals for human consumption, or bc we are too egotistical to understand their importance to the cycles of life.
"Because unless someone like you cares an awful lot, nothings going to get better, its not."
Still hits so hard today.
Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Not bad as a movie, but not a great representation of the book nor the original.
I agree it has it’s moments and I did enjoy the Once-ler’s story and his encounter/history with The Lorax and the creatures (the Swans, Humming Fish, Barbaloots) which personally is the main highlight of the film that the majority reactive positively too (even if the message and the ending was on the nose). Even Illumination does a very good job on the animation by capturing the Dr. Seuss aesthetic on the looks of the characters for this film and _The Grinch (2018),_ but personally I think Blue Sky Studios did it 10x better with capturing the animation of Dr. Seuss on their adaptation of _Horton Hears A Who._
Absolutely agree. Well said
"I'm the lorax, i speak for the trees.
Cut them down and i break your knees."
Yes, the flashback was practically the entire story in the book. This "kid" is spoken of briefly in the book, in the second person, so the story is actually told as someone telling you what will happen if you ask the Once-ler these things. They made up most of the rest of the present-day stuff.
This movie is another one of my Guilty Pleasures because everyone I know only remembers this movie for the memes, I just genuinely find this movie funny in some ways
Memes are funny-
U must know guys there's an alternate version of "how bad can i be" called "biggering" way more darker than HBCIB possibly the reason it never ended in the final film. If the movie is already a capitalism critic, the song is a punch to the face. In HBCIB the Once tries to convince himself that he's not doing anything bad, he's just becoming rich. In Biggering he KNOWS what he's doing but he says that's how nature works and "every creature that doesn't adapt just gets eaten" is not just a capitalism critic but shows how cold hearted blind ambition works. It's just too dark, he just doesn't matter anymore for anyone, he knows the damage and is able to k1ll a baby just for keep getting bigger. U should totally listen it. ❤️
Here’s a fun fact both of you will be surprised but Danny DeVito who voiced the Lorax also reprised his role in the Spanish (both European and Latin Spanish), German, Italian and Russian dubs of the movie.
Which is amazing considering some celebrity actors especially those of Hispanic or Latino descent who appeared in the animated movies and voiced a specific character only would reprise their roles in one or two other languages besides the original English version (e.g. Antonio Banderas reprising as Puss in Boots in the European and Latin Spanish dubs of the _Shrek/Puss In Boots_ movies; Gael García Bernal reprising as Héctor in the Latin American dub of _Coco)._
Yes, that was cool. He came to Russia to advertise this movie and came to one TVshow and spoke a little Russian, and it was quite impressive! I love Deny!
You guys need to listen to the cut song from this film titled 'Biggering', it's the entire story of the Lorax in one song, so of course it was cut.
The different types of songs in the Lorax movie are very amazing.
Its almost poetic that studio meddling prevented this movie from being *much* darker and taking itself more seriously like the original
In fact, the Onceler's original song for this movie, that was cut down in the actual release, was *much* darker and more thought provoking as it suggested that his main flaw , and the reason why he went as far as he did, wasn't his *greed* but rather the grandad of all human flaws: *pride*
Which honestly fits much more into what they were going for with the Onceler in this movie. His family treated him like garbage, so he developed an inferiority complex. So once he realised that he had an idea that could actually make him rich and famous, he took it to make sure *everyone* respected him. But he went too far and lost everything.
Obviously, this is a far cry from the original Onceler who wasn't intended to be sympathised with, have a backstory or even a face. The Onceler was simply the personification of human selfishness and the idea was that *anyone* could be the Onceler.
But, still, this could have been an interesting take had the people making the movie not had their creative process meddled with.
R.I.P. Betty white you were a one of a kind lady
There is a theory and it's one of my favorite theories is Ted is Onceler's grandson. When he was younger and before he became corrupted by greed her met Norma and they feel in love. Then when things got really bad and the pollution started happening, she was pregnant at the time with their daughter (Ted's mom) so he sent her away to Theendsvile so they could be safe. That's how Grandma knew so much about him and why she was able to tell Ted all that information and not only that he kinds looks like Onceler when he was young. They have a striking resemblance. It all makes sense when ya think about it.
I forgot Betty White was in this, and what a great performance she gave. She was a class act to the end!
I watched this movie friggin 5 TIMES IN A ROW when I was on my 14 hour flight from Toronto to Seoul. I was obsessed with this movie when I was 9 lol
Honestly a guilty pleasure of mine
This brings me back the days where the Tumblr has their weird obsession with The Once-ler 🤣🤣
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, its not. Such an amazing message
I highly recomend:
Rio
Tinkerbell movies
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Home
Meet the Robinsons
Oliver and Company
Oh this takes me back. 'How bad can I be' used to be my jam for a while
I agree with other sit isn't perfect, but this was one of those movies that had its charm and was perfect to watch during babysitting. I think for me besides the main lesson what stood out was the smaller lessons. Like just because they are blood doesn't make them your family, or that they know whats best for you. Dont let family push you around and change you. Anyone can be a villain, especially if they go down a dark path involving greed. Etc. Once-ler started off compromising and doing whats right, but the gratifying feeling of his family approving of him and seemingly caring about him pushed him. O'hare saw a need and wanted to fill it with his air, but immediately fell into the gratifying greed hole. Ted was fearless despite threats, yeah for a girl, but motivation only goes so far when threats are involved. Much could have been done in the movie, but I still love it.
Am I tho only one who genuinely enjoys this movie. I find it funny 💀
I didn't realize people didn't like it 😂
I love this movie. But I youngest daughter when it came out on DVD would watch it almost every day..haha but it still love it.
@@marslaraI love this movie, what you mean bro
@@ixagonczi Read the comments, a whole lot of people think it's the scum of the earth because it's different from the book or because it's not "gritty" enough based on the biggering song
@@marslara I mean I watched the original 25min movie and I got to say that I were worried the whole time watching it that it would just cut of because at 10min it felt like I had already watched more then 25min. So yeah I don’t understand what they are talking about, I thought the message was kinda obvious in that one too and is honestly felt longer then this film. But I mean yeah this movie would have been better with the other song.
I saw this movie once, years ago, and a couple of the songs still pop up in my head
While it isn’t a perfect film or one of Dr. Seuss Best adaptations, I still appreciate what Illumination did for their first animated adaptation of a Dr. Seuss story even if the message was on the nose and far different to the original book and the 1972 animated special. On top of that, It’s also impressive with how Illumination almost captures the Dr. Seuss aesthetic through its animation even if Horton Hears a Who from Blue Sky did it better and the voice cast is impressive as you have Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zach Effron, Taylor Swift, Jenny Slate, Rob Riggle and the late Betty White (RIP)
Although the both of you will be doing _Flushed Away_ next week, hopefully if you do continue watching more Dr. Seuss adaptations I recommend the following: _The Cat in the Hat_ starring Mike Myers (even though most would be against it), _Horton Hears a Who_ from Blue Sky Studios, _The Grinch (2018)_ also by Illumination, the original animated specials of _Horton_ and _The Grinch_ by Chuck Jones, and the original Animated specials of _The Lorax_ and _The Cat in the Hat_ by DePatie-Freleng productions.
I don’t care what anyone says. Best Dr Seuss adaptation ever.
the "How Bad can I Be" rings a bit more harrowing in todays climate in my opinion...
thank you for that. The conversation after was really thoughtfull and intresting. I love this debate and the way you guys may not agree on everything but you discuss it with a full attention and consideration
Totally enjoying and appreciate you guys doing some underrated yet great animated movies lately..
Thanks..
Fun fact when the grandmother is telling about oncler for the first time the rimes she does is a reference to the old street of the lifted lorax song from the original cartoon from 1972
Fun fact the Sound effect or voices is the same as what was done for the minions in despicable me, so it’s the same voice acting for the minions is also the fish in the Lorax!!!
I do remember being super excited when this came out that I shared my name (Audrey) with a character voiced by Taylor Swift!😆🙌🏼
I watched Lorax in High School and I liked it🔥. The animation was great. At the ending I loved the animation shown on how the plant grew and the transition etc. The message was really good. A bit over the top but still it’s a fun movie. The cast was great and loved Danny Devito as the voice of Lorax👍😁. Loved your reaction/analysis, take care and have a good one❤️
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
-Dr Seuss
I wouldn't say this movie is a great representation of the book, but this quote is universal and powerful regardless of medium. The reason the world is as messed up as it is- is that they've made us feel like there's no point in fighting because they win no matter what. That oil companies, textile companies, companies that are over-farming and polluting, they all get away with it because only a few people care, imagine if everyone cared a lot? And actually rallied together to stand up to them. Those who are the most passionate, like Greta Thunberg, get ridiculed and people fall for that ridicule.
Which is exactly what they want. It's not going to get better, it's not. *Unless* people actually get their shit together and do something. People have forgotten the power of the masses, we used to be able to dethrone kings and topple dictators. We need some of that energy back tbh.
Yeah yeah preachy I know I know, but if what I say makes you feel uncomfortable it's because in your heart you know it's true.
For w/e reason the opening song is often stuck in my head and I sometimes sing random stuff to the same rhythm 😂
This movie was a huge hit in my house when my kids were younger because the music is so fun. I never read the book so I didn’t mind if it wasn’t faithful it was just fun for young kids and has catchy songs. The overall theme was still good in my opinion.
I always forget about this movie
i hope yall watch the og short fro
m the 70s
i need to drope airplanes in your garden so i can talk to you :3 i love this movie, i speak for the trees
Just to let you know,
All of this unfolded because a 12 year old was a simp
Rip Betty White
Funeral for a Tree, played when the Lorax us putting rocks around the tree stump and at the end when he returns, is one of my favourite pieces of music from a movie
As expected there's alot of people mentioning "biggering" the cut/rewritten alternative to "how bad ban I be"
Listening to your perspective about how this movie is more simple and light hearted i can kinda see why it was changed, but at the same time the Change affected the message and basically removed any accountability onceler should've had for his actions by portraying him as being ignorant and manipulated by his family.
the onceler took accountability for his actions. he said multiple times throughout the movie that everything was his fault. he knew it and accepted it. that is accountability. perhaps you mean he never faced consequences for his actions? imo, he did though. he lived the rest of his life isolated, cut off from society. whether by his own choice or because people no longer accepted him, that is the consequence of his actions. if you feel he should have been punished further, well... i just don't agree. people don't always need severe punishment after making mistakes, even serious ones. punishment is meant for people who don't accept accountability or acknowledge their mistake, in order to help them recognize the severity of the situation. the onceler didn't need additional punishment, he already knew how awful what he'd done was, and thoroughly punished himself for it. but i do agree that some of the other changes effected the message too much.
@@MonAhgasInsomniAroELF so, from what I got from the original comment, I think they're talking about how they made him manipulated by his family instead of it being his idea which takes responsibility away from him
@@maddiemorales1419 He is still responsible because he could have stood up against his family.
@@sawanna508 it doesn't take away all responsibility ofc, but a lot of it. Having it be so his emotionally abusive family pressures him into makes him feel like a victim
I have read mny Dr. Suess books when i was a kid and my kids (especially my youngest) loved Dr. Suess books too. The Lorax was her favorite book for a long time and when she watched this movie she loved it. So it might be more nostalgia for me but i love this movie and the songs. Danny Devito was perfect for the Lorax. It has been awhile since i have watched this movie, but when it is on i watch it.
Grandma is the MVP
to this day i still believe the once-ler is ted’s grandpa i mean they look exactly alike
Maybe give Horton Hears a Who a try next. Both that and this movie are so so good in my opinion, wished you liked this more than you did but that's ok lol. I love The Lorax as someone with a degree in conservation, and also personally knowing so many people who are similar to the Onceler I find it to be a fabulous movie. (Gosh, you must have missed the Tumblr days where girls were going RABID over the Onceler lmao that was a wild time). Horton Hears a Who isn't a conservation movie but still has a very important message that maybe you'd feel a little stronger about than this one.
Have you watched Horton hears a who? I think out of the Dr seuss adaptions, that one has always been a favourite.
I know this is a kid movie all i do know about this is like the meme
Super fun reaction. Thanks!
My sister really liked this movie when she was little so it reminds me of her now
If you read the book, it is exactly the message.
You should read the StarBellied Sneetches or the ButterBattle. In your face messages of prejudice and stupidity of war. He was in your face.
Those are two of my favorite stories
My kids loved Dr. Suess and we have (still have it) the movies to thoses stories. Especially my youngest would watch them all the time.
If I met one of those fish in a dark alley, I would quite likely freak. However, in broad daylight, and given their surroundings, I would decide that they were very cute.
The flashback is pretty much the OG story and everything else is for the movie.
The "villan" of the movie is the guy who saw a problem, the lack of pure air, and presented a solution.
what about the plans to increase the pollution so he can sell more clean air?
You mean the guy who literally planned to make the problem WORSE because it made him more money?
@@LordofFullmetal Never would have happened if his family (the real villains) made him do it in the first place.
It was ok rip Bety white
Another Suess movie where they made another story based off the original. When the older version of the Oncler ryhmes he does make a few direct references, the start with the snail line is from the original writings. I dont mind the changes too much I just look at it as different telling of the story, they worked the orginal stuff in it well and then added fun pandering to make a movie. I love that they use the Suess excuse to come up with these crazy worlds and buildings since that was very suess in itself. You can love both if youre willing to accept to that this a movie made by fans based off of the characters and base story of the book and that the book is a book written by an absolute legend and you should give a read if you ever get the chance
You guys have to watch Horton hears a Who, it could be an animation starting from the same level of The Lorax upwards.. going for the best of it. I think you guys would like very much (i'm in my brothers account, but i can say that based on what i watch from you guys and your opinion :3
It was sophomore year in high school that was the first and last time that I’ve seen this movie in horticulture class! I don’t remember anything what happened in this movie until now I remember the O’Hare Air thing and the trees being chopped off for making something which is “Thneed”. Another thing I remember learning in horticulture was topiary and we ended up watching “Edward Scissorhands afterwards because it shows all the topiary with many artificial, decorative shapes in the movie which is cool, I love that movie! And I know you guys have already seen that one, so loved that reaction:)
Fun fact: How Bad Can I Be was originally a different song called Biggering. It treated the subject matter a lot more seriously and cut a little deeper about the realities of big business - which people theorise is the reason it got cut in favour of this song, which basically turns it into a joke and seriously underplays how serious the subject matter is. Because the book is straight-up depressing - it's VERY serious and very dark. The book ends with the message of "Unless", and we don't see what happens after. This film is very tonally off for what the book was trying to do, and Biggering could've fixed a lot of that.
Highly recommend looking Biggering up - you can find it on UA-cam. It's vastly superior to the song that ended up in the movie.
The marketing for this film was so so SO so opposite of its message it hurts.
Oh no, this movie. When it came out to DVD, I was working in the electronics/photo/connection center department of Wal-mart and this movie was playing 24/7 *cries* lol I'll watch the reaction, but I'm going to have flashbacks hah
How bad can I be still plays in my head from time to time 😂
Also, I'd love for you guys to watch Horton hears a who
What gets me the most in the movie is that my wife’s name is Audrey and she’s also a redhead
The seed landed in the clean air container because the town has no clean air except for what the guy sells and plants need clean water and clean air.
Maybe the live action cat in the hat Plus I know that’s another good one to other than Christopher Robin as well and maybe Poohs Heffalump movie you never know with these sorts of questions, though
"Biggering" is a banger of a cut song from the soundtrack.
6:38 - Okay, EVERYTHING before this point (and most everything that derives from it in the rest of the movie) was original to this movie. THIS is where the original book started. Everything related to Thneedville and it's politics was embellishment. I recommend that you guys watch the original '72 animated version of The Lorax to get the story without the embellishment. It's available in full on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/8V06ZOQuo0k/v-deo.html
11:30 - To be clear, in the original story, the Once-ler and all his kin were faceless creatures (as in their faces were always hidden, not ACTUALLY faceless). That doesn't work in a feature--length film, of course.
14:24 - A thneed is a fine thing that everyone needs.
35:54 - In the original, the animals left one species at a time as the conditions got worse. They'd all left by the time of the Once-ler's 'Biggering' speech (which DID end with the fall of the last Truffua Tree).
36:42 - Direct quote from the original.
You guys should react to the original cartoon. I linked it earlier.
I respect the people who enjoy this movie, but I personally prefer the original animated version. It's shorter, and follows the book exactly. The thing is, the original Lorax story isn't quite "simple." The original story is dark, with very little actual humor, and with a very open ending that actually requires the viewers to think. This one, to me, kind of panders to the younger audience, force-feeding them the message while also trying to entertain them and thus taking away from the message. It LOOKS good, but...yeah, I prefer the original. Which I would love for you guys to react to, actually.
I really hope you guys see boxtrolls or surfs up, very under appreciated films
So the book is actually way less preachy and simple compared to the movie
One of the reasons its so popular is because it takes a nuance view on the subject.... its more about finding compromise and balance than which side is right or wrong
To be fair, seeing how much worse things had gotten in the 40 years between the book and the movie- the nuanced view clearly didn't work...
@@k.o.h3599 it did for a while, but then we took out critical thinking from schools and from the mid 1980s to now we've steadily become less and less able to use critical thinking... all while at the same time like sheep voted into office people who would bend, break, and make rules to favor select corporations
In losing our nuance we literally became the extremes presented as the wrong way to think in the book
So I would argue the book is more correct and needed today than 40 years ago
there is a very clear message with this movie
I really love this movie, but it seams that I don't love it enough since I recently find out
"this movie is a remake, that had children in mind"
they talked about the effects of the absence of trees and the behavior of corporations, it was a good movie.there's criticism even in the soundtrack of this movie. It's a great Dr. Seuss movie.
i liked aspects of this movie, but it definitely isn't a favorite. i much prefer Horton Hears a Who as far as more recent Dr Seuss adaptations go. enjoyed the reaction though! :)
My favourite dr Seuss movies are the grinch who stole Christmas and the Lorax
I recently learned from one of my friends that Dr. Seuss used to live in La Jolla, which is about 15 minutes from where I live. The truffula trees/Seussian trees were inspired by some of the palm trees that grow in that area! And when you said the elderly Onceler looked like Scrooge, that reminded me that the Grinch and his whole story was based on a cranky old lady neighbor of Dr. Seuss who complained of the noise she heard from the top of the high hill surrounded by cliffs leading down to La Jolla beach. He often participated in community celebrations down there, and she often griped about the loud noises from revelers that she could hear from her lavish house up in the hills like the Grinch. Bah, humbug indeed.
Great reaction and review
I know this isn’t a movie reaction, but I REALLY want a reaction to the cut song “biggering” now. It’s a must watch if you love this movie!
You should watch Horton hears a who from Dr. Seuss. The voice cast includes Jim Carrey and Steve Carell.
21:43 Woman! Dang, I miss the good old days when we all knew what that was! 😂🙈
6:51 MINION
This movie had the best meme of all time
My childhood
31:52 well, maybe if you didn’t harvest them like that 😂
I know a strange and funny movie that i think you guy would like, the movie is called Asterix the mansions of the gods 2016 movie, and i was wonder if you guy could watch that movie, please and thank you.
Can you please watch the Curious George film from 2006?
It is an Underrated Masterpiece that literally anyone can enjoy.
Also, the animation is amazing!
RIP Biggering. We were robbed. Thankfully we can still listen that rock opera masterpiece of a song. Shame it was cut... Alongside a lot of the original movie.
You know for a place that buys bottled air, thneedville looks remarkably clean and non-polluted.
