![]() Distraught, ruined, and filled with regret, the Once-ler becomes a recluse.Īfter he finishes telling his story, the Once-ler finally understands the meaning behind the Lorax's last message, and gives Ted the last Truffula seed in hopes that he can use it to regrow the forest and make others care about real trees once more. ![]() With the region uninhabitable because of the pollution and deforestation from the Once-ler's business, the Lorax sends the animals off, hoping that they will find a new place to live before the Once-ler sees him depart into the sky, and into exile, leaving only a small pile of rocks with one word: "Unless". With no further chance of business, he is left broke and his family promptly disowns and abandons him. The Once-ler pollutes the sky, river, and landscape, until the very last Truffula tree falls. Flushed with wealth, the Once-ler rationalizes his short-sighted needs into arrogant self-righteousness, and the Lorax's helpless protests do not stop him ("How Bad Can I Be?"). Over time, the Once-ler's deforestation spirals into a mass overproduction. However, his greedy and lazy relatives soon convince him to resume chopping down the trees, causing him to end his friendship with both the Lorax and the animals. At first keeping his promise, the Once-ler continues Thneed production by harvesting the Truffula tree tufts in a slow, but sustainable manner. Then, the young businessman's Thneed invention becomes a major success ("Everybody Needs a Thneed") and the Once-ler's family arrives to participate in the business. Eventually, the Once-ler promises not to chop another tree down, and the two seem to begin a friendship of sorts. The Lorax urges the Once-ler to leave the forest, but the Once-ler refuses. The Once-ler meets the guardian of the forest, the Lorax ( Danny DeVito), after cutting down a Truffula tree in a lush Truffula tree forest valley ("This is The Place"). Over Ted's various visits, the Once-ler recounts the story that when he was a young man, he departed his family to find good material for his Thneed invention, a piece of cloth that has multiple uses, and make a business. However, Ted continues to sneak out of O'Hare's sight with his grandmother's encouragement and learns more of the trees' history. After revealing that he has "security-camera eyes" all over the city, O'Hare pressures Ted to stay in town. ![]() O'Hare explains to Ted that trees produce oxygen free of charge, and therefore, he considers them and/or people talking about them to be a threat to his business. ![]() Ted agrees, but on his next trip, he encounters the greedy mayor of Thneedville, Aloysius O'Hare ( Rob Riggle), who is also the proprietor of a company that sells bottled oxygen("fresh air") to Thneedville residents. Once the boy finds him, the Once-ler agrees to tell Ted about the trees on the condition that he listens to the story over multiple visits. When Ted leaves Thneedville in search of the Once-ler ( Ed Helms), he discovers that the outside world is a contaminated, empty, barren wasteland. His energetic Grammy Norma ( Betty White) secretly tells Ted the legend of the Once-ler, who will tell anyone about what happened to the trees if they bring him fifteen cents, a nail, and a shell of a great-great-great grandfather snail. Ted has a crush on local environmentalist Audrey ( Taylor Swift), who wants to see a "real tree" more than anything in the world, so he decides to find one in order to impress her. Hooves, Zecora, Lyra Heartstrings, Braeburn, Big McIntosh, Pinkie Pie, Mr.Ted Wiggins ( Zac Efron) is a 12-year-old boy, who lives in Thneedville, a walled city that, aside from the human citizens and their pets, is completely artificial everything is made of plastic, metal, or synthetics with no living plants ("Thneedville").
