ARGHH I LOVE HIM 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I still think they could have given us a nicer translated version, and although I hate to admit it, the translation of his name in portuguese from portugal was a little better 💔 but wahh, it's still a win that we had galvan to dub him! I absolutely love his voice in the onceler, and I think it suits our greedie quite well !

(I love that umavezildo guy, I wish he was real /j)

The Lorax (Onceler) fun fact:

In the brazillian portuguese dub of The Lorax, Onceler's name is translated to "Umavezildo".

Everybody knows that "Onceler" comes from the saying "once upon a time", because he tells a story. So he's someone who tells a story, thus he's the Once-ler. Many jobs and professions end with "er" because it defines someone who does a certain thing.

But in brazillian portuguese his name "Umavezildo" comes from the brazillian portuguese translation of "once upon a time" and it's said "era uma vez": "Uma-Vez-Zildo". What's funny is that the literal translation of this name to english would be something like "once upon a Zildo". In our BR portuguese, we use "zildo" or "ildo" in the end of a word when we want to mock someone, like if a person is boring, we will call them just boring but there are times we will say like "boringzildo" to mock (Chato (boring) = Chatonildo (boring but like mr boring)). There's a clear difference from when you're just calling a person by the word and when you're ending the word with "ildo/zildo". It's a funny mocking by the way, nothing actually offensive. It's like instead of just saying "you're boring!" you're saying "you're mr. boring!" "you're sir boring!". This is what the "Zildo" part of the word means, it makes the word a name; not actually like "mr" or "sir" but like it turns into a name, into a someone. The word itself "Zildo" is an actual name that exists so I believe it comes from that.

The translation of the word "Umavezildo" to english, after having this knowledge, would sound like "The 'once-upon' dude" "once-upon guy". It's not like a role/profession like the original english word "Once-ler", or else it would be like "Umavez-or" or "Umavezador" (like the words "contador (accountant), atuador (actuator), educador (educator)) , he's the "Once-Upon GUY". He's UMA-VEZ-ZILDO.

His mom doesn't call him "Oncie" in brazillian portuguese, she calls him "Zildo", or "Zildinho" (diminutive or affectionate and adorable way of referring to someone like "little Zildo"). Which is funny, because cutting the "Uma-Vez" part of his name, turns it into a normal masculine name a guy would have: Zildo.

Edit: I made a small research and discovered that the meaning of the name Zildo is "shadow" or "the winner"/"the victorious". This is from those websites that tells people the meaning of their names. The meaning of the word was already explained by me.

In the brazillian portuguese version of the Seuss book that I own "O Lórax" (the 2012 movie is called "O Lorax" without the accent), Onceler's name is "Erumavez" (from "Era Uma Vez"). The book calls the Thneeds by the word "Não-Cessidade" which is a pun with the words "não" (no) and "necessidade"(need). So the Thneed is called "No-Need". But in the movie they still have the original Thneed name with no translation or change.

My version of the book was printed in 2022 so the translation wasn't based on the translation of the movie.

Everybody here has watched The Lorax at some point at school and our "How Bad Can I Be" is actually translated to "Am I That Bad?". We love the dub of the song. It's a classic.

@aikoidiota we love our brazillian Zildinho.

long time no see, huh?

I drew my sona/oc cosplaying the onceler! I'm participating in a dynamic where I had to draw my oc cosplaying a character, so nothing fairer than my husband's fit ^w^ and yes, onceler and my sona are married (greedler era) !

LORAX LOST MEDIA FOUND?

today I was scrolling through tiktok when I found a post made by the user @/blushonceler informing that, back in 2011, a rough trailer from the lorax movie was leaked on a chinese website under the name of sina (probably it doesn't exist anymore), but it was enough to get people curious over it on 2023.

so, a youtube channel called "blú ball animations" found this iconic trailer, which contained a few deleted scenes that haven't been seen by the lorax fandom, or at least the majority, until it was recovered by the channel. can we consider it a good day to the lorax fandom now? 🥹

a few screenshots I took while watching it:

to anyone who want to watch it, it's still avaliable on blú ball's channel and here is the video:
