the lorax (film)
the lorax continues to fight the once-ler. by this point the lorax has had to send the starving brown bar-ba-loots out of the area in search of food. after this, the once-ler has his first bout with a guilty conscience; he justifies his doubts by remarking "but if i didn't do them, then someone else would." the lorax then protests that the smog is suffocating the swomee swans, preventing them from singing, and thus the lorax also has to send them away. the once-ler protests that closing the factory would put countless employees out of a job; the lorax concedes that he has no answer to that. finally, the pond that was home to the humming fish is filled with viscous toxic waste clogging the fish's gills and rivaling lake erie; they too are sent away over dry land. confronted by the lorax, the once-ler appears to be ready to act, until his secretary announces that the company's stock has shot upward. the elated once-ler flips from empathy to defiance, vowing to ramp up production even further—until at that moment, with the sound of an ax, the last remaining tree is cut down. with no raw materials, the factory is forced to close anyway, and the once-ler's relatives all sadly depart. the lorax glares at the once-ler before he lifts himself by the seat of his pants, and disappears through a tiny hole in the smog. on the spot where the lorax last stood sits a small pile of rocks, with a word carved into one: "unless."
