A story of happiness and heaviness

I have seen a lot of cartoons, usually nothing more than adventure, comedy, and themes that use the strong imagination of American cartoons.
And "The Story of Old Reis" doesn't seem to be the most outstanding in these aspects, but it makes me happy and heavy in the process of watching.
When "the Once-ler" just stepped into the fertile soil with magical trees, it spread out in sight like a candy world, with a soft beauty.
But when the beautiful cotton candy-like trees fell down, my heart was slowly saddened, so I thought of how human beings have ruined and destroyed nature today. Although I have not seen with my own eyes how modern machines plunder the real trees on the earth, I can imagine that it will only be worse.
In the end, thanks to the public efforts of Ted, his family, and his girlfriend, it seems easy enough to convince people to fight the evil and selfish Aloysius O'Hare. Then, the seeds are planted very easily.
Personally, I think the ending seems to be a bit hasty, and I always feel that it is not complete enough. If Aloysius O'Hare could be a little more evil, if the crowd wouldn't change, if old Leth's departure wouldn't be so meaningless, and his subsequent appearance wouldn't be so low-key. Will it look better?
But overall, it's still a very warm and good movie, and it's worth recommending.

The Lorax quotes

  • Once-ler: Why are you so interested in trees, anyway? Why aren't you like other kids? Breakdancing and wearing bellbottoms and playing the Donkey Kongs?

    Ted: [laughs] Yeah. Right, right. I don't know. Uh, I just thought it might be kinda cool to have one.

    Once-ler: [knowingly] Uh-huh. It's a girl, isn't it?

    Ted: [scoffs] What? No!

    Once-ler: Really? Because when a guy does something stupid once, well that's because he's a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that's usually to impress some girl.

    Ted: Hey, she is not just some girl! She's a woman. In high school. And she loves trees. And I'm gonna get her one.

    Once-ler: Awww. How nice to see someone so undeterred by things like reality.

    Ted: Thank you.

  • Audrey: [to Ted] I could just kiss you right now!

    [Ted and Audrey lean in to kiss, only to be stopped by Ted's mother]

    Ted's Mom: We don't have time for that!

    Ted: I dunno, we have a little time.
