The Lorax (book)

HAPPY DR. SEUSS DAY, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

In the Lorax movie, the Once-ler's face was specifically asked to be shown, to show him as a human, just like you and me. And to think of him less as a pure evil character, they also made the main villain O'Hare, instead of him, even though he was the reason Thneedville was the way it was, the industrial wasteland. But, this ruins what the message brought out by the book, where the Once-ler's face was hidden, to show that he could be anyone, including YOU. Personally, do you prefer the book's version of the Once-ler, or the movie's, and why? I'm curious.
