Summary
So many moviegoers/reviewers complained that Ted was a bland, horrible protagonist – and if not written just as the girl-in-a-tower love interest, they would have much preferred to see Audrey in the main character role. So here she is! Trying to save the trees and the Onceler too.
A follow-up/expansion on the original poem/story again hommaging the very obvious anime inspiration but quite a few other things as well...

The Great Lorax Movie Rewrite by WhatIWish
Fandoms: The Lorax (2012), The Lorax - Dr. Seuss, Once-ler Fandom
01 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Because the original had a lot of plot holes and wasn't satisfying.
What to expect:
1. Actually tells the Once-ler's whole story from beginning to end (no Ted).
2. Gives Once-ler more agency and develops his motives beyond "my family made me do it."
3. Includes "You're all going to jail!" deleted scene.
4. Animals die/the stakes are raised
5. Logical explanations for why they couldn't just plant more trees or use a ladder, why Once-ler didn't just plant the seed himself, etc.
6. The Lorax is actually significant
7. Characters like Once-ler's dad, Norma, and O'Hare are woven in, but don't steal the spotlight. (Example: Norma isn't an annoying girlfriend who steals the role of the Lorax).
8. NO ANNOYING OCS, MARY SUES, OR STUPID ROMANCES!!!!!!!!!! Just a straightforward, comprehensive narrative of what the movie should've been like.
This entire novel is complete and has been through multiple drafts. If you follow it, you can be sure that it does have an ending and the author knows where it's going with foreshadowing and extra plot twists. Chapters will be released each week.

I address you, the Members of the Seventy-seventh Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union. I use the word "unprecedented," because at no previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today.

Summary
"Here is your coffee sir." You stick your arm out towards him and offer the coffee.
He was only paying half attention when he stopped midway. His full attention on you now, which confused you. He was so focused on his work second ago. His hand hung in the air just a few inches from his coffee.
Once-ler's face contorted into one of disgust and a twinge of worry.
Before you got the chance to question it, Once-ler roughly grabbed your wrist, pulling you forward.
"What is this?"
