Synopsis

The Once-ler, a former industrialist who has since fallen from prominence, recounts the story of his ascent to prosperity and the events that led to his downfall. In his account, he describes how he ignored the warnings of the Lorax, a wise and elderly forest creature, who cautioned him about the environmental harm caused by his pursuit of profit.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
