Was O'Hare Really the Lorax in Disguise?

The Lorax is an interesting movie because it has many secret little hidden details. In the past, I had a "conspiracy theory" that the Once-Ler was Ted’s Grandfather because of these clues. Today, I present my ultimate findings in an even bigger theory. I know O’Hare’s backstory, I know the Lorax’s TRUE agenda, I know where Grammy Norma is in the flashbacks, and yes… I finally know who Ted’s FATHER is.

I’ve edited this one to the hilt. It’s fast-paced and unreal, so there are chapters below. Enjoy.

Character: "What a nice day."
Theorists: Her eyes were cut off, her ears were cut off, her arms were cut off.

At this point the theorizer could convince me that I was o'hare

When the satire is so good you cant tell if its satire or just a genuine crazy guy

I always assumed o'hair just got the air elsewhere. All the animals went away so they probably went somewhere. Also, the more convincing evidence, the onceler found the trufula trees through traveling. That means that there's other places without trufula trees, and that means other ways of getting oxygen. The onceler also had an axe before he knew about trufula trees, so theres other types of trees that would still exist.

The Theorizer could convince me of anything at this point.

This video (and by extension, the entire channel) are a testament to the importance of paying attention to the small details when writing/making a story. Intentional or not, these small details can completely recontextualize everything, or more importantly, completely dismantle the story you thought you were trying to tell.

Lorax: I am the Lorax! i hate speaking for these trees, Please chop them down before I indulge in stress eating cheese

[buttercupthetortoise]

I just realized something. When Ted goes to plant the seed, we see the whole town is concrete. There’s no exposed soil to prevent trees from growing. That’s O’Hares doing. So if someone dies, where are they buried? Outside of town? O’Hare doesn’t let anyone go outside of town and no one goes there anyways. So where do the bodies go? Also how is the onceler still alive after all this time without any fresh air? There’s no trees or plants alive near his house

They tried to copyright this. It's canon.

7:35 in spanish mr o’hare says to ted’s mom to go back to the kitchen so it is even more personal

[IcyDiamond]

I feel like I’m watching something the government doesn’t want me to whenever I watch these videos

[vulcorethegreat]

Bro his voice sound much deeper.
Unfortunately a slight plot hole in all this. The reason Ohare doesn't want the trees is because trees make fresh air for free. His whole business is selling purified air, even advertised as such. Mechanical air purifiers are a thing and Ohare seems to be a nerdy tech guy so he more likely invented air purifiers.

If The Lorax is anti-Trees does this open the possibility to Willy Wonka secretly hating chocolate and candy?

[djalexander]

"I'm the Lorax, I speak for the trees, and their tired of feeding you oxygen for free"

[JLudwig-cl]

The Lorax was so anti trees he gave his aproval to multiple enviromentally harming products in the Lorax marketing campaing

[Makememesandmore]

The tiny dude gets all of the air from somewhere far away, somewhere where you can get air, somewhere where there is STILL trees...

[elfiot]

Ted’s mom calling herself Mrs Wiggins despite having no husband would seem to imply she’s a widow. It’s possible that she divorced O’Hare, remarried and then her second husband died, all while Ted was very young. If Bernice suspects O’Hare had her second husband killed, then her fear of him makes a lot of sense. It would also make sense why she doesn’t seem to have any interest in finding a partner during the film. Husband #2 may have spoken out against O’Hare, or simply made him jealous, but either way he’s gone and no one is eager to bring him up.

[Monkey-gjww]

Bruh, when he just says in a deep voice “short king” is just a bucket of laughter to look at

[IcyDiamond]

To add to your theory, it now makes sense why the Once-Ler can live in his big house outside of town while still surviving, O’Hare’s been secretly supplying him air, it also explained why The Once-Ler didn’t just immediately plant the seed, because he had been working with O’Hare, he also probably wasn’t allowed back in town and he couldn’t have planted the seed where he lives, it also makes the Oncer-Ler look less stupid because no matter what, the trees would’ve died, The Lorax was controlling him the whole time, it also explained how no one died due to lack of air, if everyone was dead there’d be no lesson to teach, The Lorax made sure to keep them all alive

It’s incredible how this theory explains basically every plot hole in the movie

Never thought I’d be so interested in a theory about a movie based on Dr. Seuss
