This can happen to YOU if you're not careful anybody can hurt the planet if they don't pay attention. Obliviousness is just as dangerous as maliciousness, and that's a really powerful lesson. That's FANTASTIC, and here's why: that's how the world really is! Companies don't sit around all day cackling about how much smog they're pumping into the atmosphere it's a process, and something that happened gradually. He's not evil, but he lets his success get to his head, and that brings about his own downfall and the destruction of the forest. This Once-ler is just a stupid kid with a dream, a guy who wants to change the world. The original Once-ler was a faceless force of destruction, a shadowy embodiment of greed. Making the Once-ler human, though? BRILLIANT. It's a bit flat but perfectly enjoyable for younger kids. As far as the frame goes, it's done pretty well. ![]() ![]() A lot of people have been lamenting the "frame story" this movie adds in, as well as the idea of making the Once-ler a human character. in this case, changes from the book/original TV short. ![]()
