WOW that Once-ler! SPOILERS
I just saw this movie today. A dear friend of mine had seen it months before and had told me "You will LOVE the Once-ler! Just add him to your list!"
My list is a list of men (real, cartoon, puppet, literary, or otherwise) that I find undeniably delicious. From watching the previews for The Lorax, I'd seen no reason to add the Once-ler to the list; sure, he's tall, thin, dark haired, and pale and those are all things I like, but there was nothing really to catch my attention. BOY did that change!
"How Bad Can I Be" was, for me, the highlight of the film (except the end, when SPOILER! The Lorax came back and the Once-ler hugged him all excited). He went from "meh, he's kinda cute and funny" to "HOLY HELL WHAT A ONCE-lER!" His singing, his movements, his rad guitar playing. I haven't been this dazzled by a cartoon character since Megamind. The man was darn shmexy.
Now, please, tell me there are others out there with this opinion?
