Last Clash with the 'Stache

**"Last Clash with the 'Stache"** is the alternate title for **"Biggering"**, referring to the visual translation of the likewise named demo song from the 2012 Lorax movie.

The unscheduled music video is an extension of the rebooted series, The Biggering, and features Once-ler and The Lorax.

Like the song itself conveys, it shows off the worsening thought process of The Once-ler; who in his greed wants more than he already has, and in his pride believes his methods are justifiable. With his surroundings either encouraging it or letting it happen, The Lorax becomes the only voice of reason left, but the years of pointless lecturing has him no longer able to control his tone, pushing The Once-ler even further away from him.

There are no plans to realize it beyond a storyboard and there's no desired date of completion set for the project, though a brief start was made on December 9, ‎2021. Conception was on November 16.

## Description

*(The description below is for personal guidance with the project)*

**(0:00)**

Once-ler is sitting in his office, thinking about how his life used to be, but his shelves full of awards and gained luxuries has him decide to close the window curtains on the worsened condition of Truffula, the only eyesore in his sightly surroundings.

**(0:42)**

Staff members then appear to renovate the room, turning it even bigger and placing down even greater furniture, with his infatuated secretary granting him his signature top hat. They all look on with approval for their boss.

**(1:21)**

Once-ler then enters the hallway outside, where benches full of environmental protesters and The Lorax himself are sitting, all having dozed off after the supposed many hours of waiting. Once-ler slamming the door wakes them up, and they rhythmically stomp behind him with wooden signs in hand and Lorax taking the lead.

**(1:58)**

Once-ler eventually meets up with an employee holding a plate of briberies, and everyone stops. While The Lorax continues his rant, Once-ler turns to some of the adult protesters, who he charms with a brief caress of their faces, while the children are handed Thneed merchandise.

**(2:08)**

He hunches over to gift the still talking Lorax a large dog bone, which is immediately slapped out of his hands. After his failure to silence him, he continues walking, this time followed by a conflicted group of protesters; some now a fan of his, others still not convinced.

**(2:19)**

The Lorax keeps warning him for the guaranteed downfall his actions will push him towards, until Once-ler stops in his tracks again.

**(2:35)**

He looks at a wall with framed photos, capturing successful endeavours and meetings with fellow influential people. He sees the images of his past warp over them -moments he doesn't want to return to.

**(2:56)**

He turns around, this time being the one to lecture The Lorax. He slowly walks towards him, his movements turning ever more feral. Employees standing in doorways hurry back inside, and the protesters also settle on fleeing the scene. The large paintings of wildlife on the walls reflect every transpiring moment; making Once-ler look like a predator animal on the hunt and everyone else prey on the run. Lorax is pushed back, but refuses to run.

**(3:28)**

Once-ler continues arguing his points and guides Lorax to a big meeting room, filled with seated staff.

**(3:42)**

Charts and diagrams show off his growing success, causing Once-ler himself to grow into a giant. His encouraging employees celebrate it, even adjusting and sewing his ripping suit back together, so he may grow even bigger. Lorax is speechless as Once-ler's arguments turn into aggressive admissions to no longer care.

**(4:19)-(4:36)**

Lorax is pushed out of the room and falls into a "nature exhibit", showing off isolated fragments of rare plants, creepy hunting tools, taxidermied animals, and even an empty platform holding a plaque with his name on it.
