Almost all of the forest animals are made into obnoxious Minions-like comic reliefs, which once again goes against what the book was trying to convey. This could have been a good idea for having a family, but the execution is poor, with the family being too cartoonish and very annoying. The Once-ler's family are much more unlikable, as they didn't care about the Once-ler until he became rich, then later in the film when his company went bankrupt, they abandoned the Once-ler and took his money and were never seen again in the film after that. The Lorax, despite being likable at times, is an absolute downgrade from his normal self in this movie, as he's made into a pointless comic relief character like the other animals, despite his attempts to save the forest. On that topic, his character design looks pretty ugly and uncanny as well as a rip-off of Edna Mode from Pixar's The Incredibles, but without glasses and on top of that, he follows the lame stereotype of the big bad guy who happens to be short height. 
On top of this, none of the stuff involving him was necessary and only exists so the writers could find an excuse to make the book into a film. Aloysius O'Hare is obviously a weak villain.Audrey is stale as burnt toast, as she's a generic love interest.Ted was flanderized into a generic boy who falls for a girl and tries to impress her by planting a tree.In fact, the subplot of Ted and his attempt to impress Audrey is completely pointless and hard to pay attention to as the Once-Ler's flashbacks take up a good chunk of the film.Not to mention that there's no real main character in the film, as it is between Ted, the Lorax and the Once-Ler.

The film has no real direction or main plot: At first the story is about Ted wanting to find a tree to impress Audrey, then most of the movie is dedicated to the Once-Ler's flashbacks, and by the end it's about Ted having to stop O'Hare and plant the tree in the town. 
If they would've let the original dark tone, the movie might have actually worked and it easily could've become a masterpiece.
The major problem with this movie is that goes against the original book by turning the story into a light-hearted familiar film with childish comedy elements instead of a dark and interesting tale with an important message like the original book and Friz Freleng special, which is unnecessary changed. Unfortunately, he finds himself hounded by the wealthy mayor of Thneed-Ville, O'Hare (Rob Riggle), who has no intention of leaving any traces of the Lorax's world. To get it, Ted delves into the story of the Lorax (Danny DeVito), once the gruff guardian of the forest, and the Once-Ler (Ed Helms), who let greed overtake his respect for nature. Ted would very much like to win the heart of Audrey (Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, but to do this, he must find that which she most desires: a Truffula tree. Twelve-year-old Ted (Zac Efron) lives in a place virtually devoid of nature no flowers or trees grow in the town of Thneedville.
