Biggering || The Lorax Animatic

No, you're not tripping. It is the same video but it is a little different. To put it simply, I was pretty unsatisfied with what I uploaded (mostly the lack of perspective) so I decided to fix a few things. I am MUCH more happier with this version. Some parts I'm still iffy on, but over all, pretty proud of it :3
(I'll still consider this a Valentine's Day vid, since it was posted on the day)
_____________________
Finally! After months of work, here it is!
This was a project long in the making (since September, I think) and something I've been wanting to do since I first heard this awesome song. Though it started as simple wish fulfillment, I ended up becoming really attached to this project and it's property, it was quite a ride! It's a joy to see it complete and I hope you all enjoy it!

[@girlpower_gacha]

This a true idc that it wasn’t confirmed

[@ΣπυρίδωνΒασιάδης]

This is canon even if illumination says otherwise

[@Double-R-Nothing]

The movie should've ended with Ted taking the seed back to town, then focusing on Onceler, saying, "good luck. Maybe one day I'll tell you the whole story". Then fade in to Biggering as the final scene of the movie. It ends the film on a punch, leaves the audience on a dark note, and would never happen in a million years because Illumination are a bunch of cowards.

[@thehuntingcamper8285]

I loved the bit with the competing companies, before the panicked face of pride comes in demanding more and more. The oncler can be anyone, and I think more people need to realize that. Good job, my favorite storyboard so far!

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thank you! That's something I really wanted to portray in here. He's clearly the villain, but is still very much human.

[@user-nn1fx1nc7e]

That's the biggest issue with the illumination movie imo. They made him one specific person and also toned his evil down so they could sell merch. The only reason this song WASNT used was because they realized this song perfectly describes illumination as a studio. It was too self aware I suppose.

​ I've gotten something wrong in my comment so I'm just gonna specify it.

[@imperialearthling4425]

It’s a small thing, but I’m glad you made the Once-ler smoke. It was a big part of his character in 1972 and I understand that they couldn’t have him do that in an Illumination film, but it carries very important symbolism. To live in the here and now without caring about future consequences. Even if you know it’s bad but chose to deny it, reality will be undeniable when it’s too late.

[@kenthefele113]

0:29 I love this opening verse because it shows how the Once-Ler is rationalizing his greed. He used to be content with his small cottage, but now he’s looking back saying that he just didn’t realize how he needed more.

[@Rivər]

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS, I love how this actually fleshes out the Onceler's rise over time and how much darker you made the song. The way you showed the animals struggling- especially in the "principle of nature" part was so clever! Also, "Wozit" and "thingamabob" killed me XDD

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thank you! That was something I really wanted to focus on.

[@sinclair707]

God this really drives home everything that the movie should’ve done. If the song had been put into the movie and it had a darker tone, it should’ve definitely taken your approach. I absolutely adore the tiny details that add so much character and realism to this. It really portrays our society and the real affects of industrial pollution and how money goes to the heads of those in power. I especially love the gradual color shift of the hues to be more dark. I don’t know if that was your intention but its brilliant. This is all just. MWAH. Chefs kiss.

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thank you so much! That was more or less what I was trying to achieve with this animatic and I'm glad it showed. The colour shifts were partly intentional. The song itself got darker so colours did too.

[@ryantabor9582]

One of my favorite bits in this animatic is how the Onceler used the bears fighting over food as an example of "survival of the fittest" to justify what he's doing, not realizing that what he's doing MADE them this way. Its great circular hypocrisy that shows his utter selfishness, corruption, and lack of remorse. Using an example that he made himself to justify his path of destruction.

[@ne12follow]

Very true, it’s also one of the reasons the lyrics got changed to that for the song that made it into the film, due to this song being too real for a corporation to release.

[@FirstNameLastName-lk3ng]

I got chills at the part where the Bar-ba-loots are fighting over the pear. After all, we've only ever seen them getting along with each other. Really drives home just what the destruction of their environment does to the animals. I'd say this scene puts your animatic a step above the other Biggering animatics I've seen. And the Once-ler coughing at the end was such a nice touch, I wish it was in the movie (minus the smoking bit, for obvious reasons).

[@mollymontgomery4565]

A list of things that I love about this animatic: - the once-ler smoking is strangely in character for him?? I think he might be seen smoking in the book, but even for a villain, that wouldn't fly in a kids movie today, to the point where I kind of jolted when I saw it. However, I like its inclusion. I also like his cough at the end, showing that he's not just harming others, but himself. A lot of people smoke because it helps them in the moment to distract from stressors. This paints a picture of the once-ler generally being an avoidant guy - he doesn't want to face his flaws, so he evades them by focusing on biggering and causing harm to all around him. Excellent choice - showing the barbaloots during the survival of the fittest part is so genius??? I also appreciate the focus on the impact on the animals, a lot of animators forget that even though it was arguably a primary focus of the book - i love that you can see in his expressions that once-ler knows the lorax is right. It is not that he cannot understand, it is that he chooses not to understand because doing so would force him to reckon with the harm he is causing - i also like the presence of other companies, the movie didn't allude to any of those even though it kept the survival of the fittest metaphor - overall excellent work thank you

Thank you so much!

[@sarahshock6805]

The way you utilize the Once-ler's eyes in this is enchanting. The scene from 2:36-2:39, with the Lorax's reflection in them, is what got me truly hooked on this particular animatic. I also love how tired the Once-ler looks at the end of it. After rewatching, it becomes so clear that this tiredness isn't from any regrets, but from the Lorax's justified nagging. 2:12 is the first time we see the stress wrinkles. Those wrinkles go away after the Once-ler gets away from the Lorax, despite the fact that he's staring at all the destruction he has caused. The wrinkles come back when the Lorax comes back. They never go away after that, perhaps to indicate that the Lorax's words really stuck with him that second time. However, that big ol' smile of his at 4:53, along with the lyrics, show that he has learned to live with those words and still enjoy what he's doing. It's so humanizing, despite it still being clear that he's in the wrong. Smaller note, but I also love how the poor Swomee Swan slams into the building at the line "a company's an animal," as if to remind the viewer that, no, a company is NOT an animal, and to say otherwise while causing actual animals so much pain is disgusting.

[@pickelcostume]

At 4:40 you can see how instead of the lyrics being "who cares if a few trees are dying" its "who cares if somethings are dying" here, the onceler is not only talking about the tree but the animals like the barbaloots, hummning fish, etc. And i like how you showed that by adding a swan falling with the trees

[@julieporter7805]

Another great one with a lot of great details 2:38-The shine in Onceler's eyes that look almost like tears like the Lorax almost got through to him. The sequence with the Bar-ba-loots and Swomee Swans. It's the whole "I learned it by watching you" thing. They lived in peace and harmony and once things went bad because of the Onceler's actions, they turned on each other. They learned about greed, anger, and fighting for survival from the Onceler. The existence of competitors. We have seen it in real life that success breeds competition and that often propels the ruthless business decisions. It's like that line in the Usual Suspects where Verbal Kint says that "it's being willing to do what the other guy won't do." This also parallels the difference between Onceler and O'Hare. O'Hare learned from Onceler to control and profit off a necessity and turn it into a commodity. Then he went up in ruthlessness and villainy. Onceler's cough from pollution and smoking and then lighting up again. It shows power, respect, a willingness to break all rules, and stress and anxiety. The Onceler is destroying the environment and himself with his actions and he has lost the ability to care.

[@ssapphire7781]

I love the detail of the Once-ler saying he "wasn't aware of bad water" because it shows how even when companies do know something they always say they don't, and they want to come across as somebody who just made a mistake.

I really love the demeanor you give the Onceler in this, starting with just contemplation and focus and showing how carelessness may cause as much damage as deliberate destruction. Then that desparation to remain at the top ahead of his competitors, it just nicely showcases both the survival of the fittest aspect and how much he's motivated by pride and can't bear to be beaten. I think it's great how not showing what he's coughing up at the end just drives home how much he's chasing the expansion of his enterprise, even over his own well being; he doesn't bother to spend any serious thought on his persistent cough because other things are just so much more important to him.

The fact that in biggering it says, who cares if a few *things* are dying. While in how bad can i be its who cares if a few *trees* are dying. In this version it tells you how its not just trees that are dying, its also animals and people even. The fact that they didnt use this sing is triggering.

I don't know why but always in the animatics (and in the song biggering even in the conceptual arts) the friendship of the Lorax and the Onceler deepens quite a bit (like this one for example) from how at first it starts off on the wrong foot but they become close until become friends, but because of the pride and greed of the onceler they become enemies or something like that, with the lorax doing everything possible to save the onceler from himself and the forest but we all know how it ended, making the lorax's farewell more shocking because the onceler realized that he lost the only person who cared about him.

I also love when he coughes near the end where his actions are catching up with him. My theory: So you know how sorta the lorax is trying to protect the once-ler? Well, my theory is that once-ler didnt notice how much he is destroying the ecosystem, and when he realized what he did he did he finally realized that he got rid of clean air and trees.. remember the line from the movie " I guess its fine if its a few trees.." He was trying to regain childhood support with his parents. And for my final line.. The once-ler is innocent.

Fantastic work!

Why do I like the Lorax design

[@VitorDantasRezende]

Idk 🤷

[@crystalgeode2336]

Actually made me uncomfortable at times with this, which means you did a brilliant job.

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thanks!

Imagine if the Onceler actually smoked in a kids movie.

[@n4gi_kv]

the Once-ler (1972) originally smoked

[@spherical938]

it's so well animated i keep watching it over and over again and i cant stop

[@silverwinterwolf2064]

And to think this song was going to be in the original for The Lorax, and was replaced but that pile of crap "How Bad Can I Be"

[@tonypringles2285]

Nah, how bad can I be is better. But if they took out the stupid lorax part of this song then biggering would be better

[@MossFairyFlies]

This is amazing! It captures the essence of the original vision for the once-ler, and I love your art style! Smooth animation too.

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thank you so much!!!

[@imNoahTBH]

Imagine if they made a horror movie called THE ONCELER and this is one of the songs in the film imagine psycho onceler

[@renatoaugustorochafaria7406]

if it were from the point of view of the animals series 3 times more perfect and scary

[@leafy_forest]

it’s funny how the whole movie couldve been avoided if he just replanted the trees.

[@edmondantes4338]

This is incredible, the animation adds a lot of punch to the already amazing music, especially in the second half of the song.

[@bonapartienne]

that is FIRE !!

[@nerou76]

this is probably my most favorite thing ever

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thank you!

[@epicgamingbros7009]

This is genuinely a masterpiece full of detail and storytelling, and the film would be so much better if this song was in it. Also, I love the attention to detail near the end with the Once-ler coughing and smoking. Also throughout the animatic his eyes look tired but at the same time crazy. It really makes him seem out of control, threatening and powerful as if he can’t get enough to satisfy himself.

[@GoofyFellasINC]

I keep coming back to this, i honestly feel as if this is the best animatic for biggering, it really captures the feel to the song and the style of lorax 2012, i really love this.😊

[@PeppermintLife5]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it so much!

[@Everett5565]

Netflix after deleting a good show for a new season of big mouth:

[@jaydoesillymusic]

Made me hit that 😮😂

[@KyleRosenthal-pf7gu]

Mr. Beast: finally someone who gets it!

[@hckingking]

My favorite lyric is when the onceler mentions that "Biggering is triggering more biggering" but then right after he says "I won't stop biggering". Which I find brilliant because he's totally aware that him expanding his thneed empire is only making him want to expand it more but he doesn't care and he'll keep doing it.

[@xX_Melanie_Xx.]

It’s wonderful! ❤

[@bombas_unitas]

Or it's scary

[@falikarpit6570]

It's so sad this song got switched. This song could've been illumination's Hellfire. Instead, we god How bad can i be. I'm not saying that's a bad song, but this would've been SO much better
