the lorax (tv special)
over ted's various visits, the once-ler recounts the story that when he was a young man, he departed his family to find good material for his thneed invention and make a business. the once-ler meets the guardian of the forest, the lorax (danny devito), after cutting down a truffula tree in a lush truffula tree forest valley. the lorax urges the once-ler to leave the forest, but the once-ler refuses. eventually, the once-ler promises not to chop another tree down, and the two seem to begin a friendship of sorts. then, the young businessman's thneed invention becomes a major success and the once-ler's family arrives to participate in the business. at first keeping his promise, the once-ler continues thneed production by harvesting the truffula tree tufts in a slow, but sustainable manner. however, his greedy and lazy relatives soon convince him to resume chopping down the trees, causing him to end his friendship with both the lorax and the animals. over time, the once-ler's deforestation spirals into a mass overproduction. flushed with wealth, the once-ler rationalizes his short-sighted needs into arrogant self-righteousness, and the lorax's helpless protests do not stop him. the once-ler pollutes the sky, river, and landscape, until the very last truffula tree falls. with no further chance of business, he is left broken and his money-broke mother disowns him. with the region uninhabitable because of the pollution and deforestation from the once-ler's business, the lorax sends the animals off to find a new place to live before the once-ler sees him depart into the sky, and into exile, leaving only a small pile of rocks with one word: "unless". distraught and ruined, the once-ler becomes a recluse.
