[Over in the Land of Terror and Construction, the Once-ler is not having a good time. Nope. Not even a little bit. That gif is misleading.
No, the Once-ler started out on a structure far away from the door and has been slowly making his way across the land ever since. Currently, he's swinging on a girder, holding onto the support wire for dear life. There's a structure with a long platform that leads to the door, and the Once-ler is psyching himself up to jump as it swings closer.]
Okay. I can do this. I've just gotta-OWOAH okay that's really far down!
[Some orange birds fly over his hand and laugh really loudly at him. One of them end steals his hat, and he instinctively reaches up to fix it, but grabs the wire again immediately when the girder swings up too high.]
Hey! Come back with that!
[But they don't. They just fly up even higher so they can perch and watch the Once-ler in fascination. He pouts, but takes a deep breath, readying himself for the right moment
and
finally
he jumps! And he does not stick the landing, tumbling onto the platform with an "oof"! But he made it, and he's alive, and that's probably good. Feel free to either have a good laugh at him or come visit him in his Land.]

[He picks up the camera so this guy can get a good look.]
The door's on this platform here - [Turns it behind where he's standing. He finally made it there, so he's not totally screwed.] - and I started waaay over there, on that one with the gearimagigs on it. [Said structure is several structure away, so he's had a fun afternoon of riding steel girders.]
About that ground floor though, um.
[He moves closer to the edge and tilts the view just over it. There doesn't seem to be a ground floor, or if there is it's very far down. It's only a quick look though, because The Once-ler doesn't want to jinx his luck and fall to his doom.]
To be honest, I don't know how this thing is even standing.
