Brett and Chet.
Brett and Chet are the Once-ler's identical twin brothers in the 2012 film adaptation of The Lorax.
Biography[]
They are slightly on the dumb side and are violent. They are mamma's boys and they'll do everything their mother says in fear of being yelled that, and while it doesn't seem like it, they do secretly love their brother. Playfully abusing him and teasing him when he does something that they find frivolous or dumb is just their way of love. However, they may become rather violent and destructive when carrying out their mother's orders. They may want to hurt Once-ler when he steps out of line.
Their mother treats the twins the opposite of how she treats the Once-ler. She believes in her older sons more than her youngest child, much to how they behave at times.
They aren't very talkative, and in the beginning of Once-ler's rise to success, their only job is to try to pick the tufts off of the Truffula Trees. This soon gets too hard and they are moved on to work with the axe-hanking machine, which chops down the trees instead. Once the Once-ler is at the top of his business and has his factory, Brett and Chet started working as his guards and doormen.
When Once-ler fails and loses his whole company, due to having no more material for his Thneed, Brett and Chet pack up with the rest of the family and go back into their van, soon shocked when their mother informs them that Brett is now her favorite son, pretty much disowning the Once-ler as they then drive off.
Appearance[]
The twins are both skinny and pale with short, black hair and dark-eyes. They are also quite tall, as they are almost the Once-ler’s height. They wear the same clothes, too, which consist of a blue top hat with a green stripe, a red, long-sleeved plaid shirt, blue, long overalls with one strap, white socks, and extremely dark green shoes with dark brown soles. However, their clothing is slightly adjusted to tell the difference between them— Brett has a backwards curving hat, his overall strap around his left shoulder, and his sleeves rolled up, while Chet has a forwards curving hat, his overall strap around his right shoulder, and his sleeves rolled down.
Trivia[]
- They had once tried to "play ball" with a Bar-ba-loot, who their mother thought was a bear.
- Their current life is unknown.
