    So far, everybody's favourite Dr Seuss adaptation of a movie. Before there was Illumination, I am glad that Blue Sky was Audrey Geisel's first choice to make a movie of her husbands story. Like the style of Blue Sky, they gave voice roles to actors who barely had a voice role, such as Jim Carrey portraying Horton who was not just having an adventure of his own, he had a class of animals. He discovers a speck of dust on a flower where it is Whoville (the best was that was an urban place inside of the jungle world out there). The other cast made things funny too, such as Steve Carrell as the mayor (before he was Gru). Other unique parts were the 2D animated parts & that one anime scene. And "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore". The movie is also about using your voice & working together to make some noise, showing that a person is a person, no matter how small, people must believe. This goes down in the history of 20th Century Animation.

    The whole plot is something the viewer can't predict. The movie turns a child's imagination into one of the most unique, visually pleasing movies.

    It's not the best animated flick, but it's still funny with a great voice cast.

    Horton Hears A Who is more funnier than how I remembered it.

    Again, this is a great film for all ages. Kids will lap up the lush animation while parents can have a chuckle at the adult jokes that are scattered throughout.

    Quite possibly the best Dr. Seuss adaptation even 15 years later mainly because it's fully animated involving no live-action portions The Grinch had the success of Jim Carey being in all that makeup and remaining very true to the book Cat in the Hat ended up being a mess with Mike Myers But Dreamworks animation finally has the chance to fully bring the beloved book to life right from the pages in all its glory An incredible voice cast ranging from Jim Carrey to Carol Burnett to Steve Carell to Amy Poehler to Jamie Presley to Seth Rogen to Will Arnett to Jonah Hill to Isla Fisher to Selena Gomez to Jesse McCartney In the jungle of Nool lives an elephant named Horton He minds his own business until he hears a faint sound like a voice A tiny spec floats by and he wants to communicate with it so he carries it on a flower The spec is actually a microscopic world full of inhabitants called the Whos The mayor is McDodd with a large family and nothing in Whoville has ever gone wrong until he notices his whole world is in danger When he proposes to postpone a big celebration the council chooses to ignore his concerns wanting things to stay safe the way they are But Horton is willing to help move their home to a more stable place otherwise their entire community will be obliterated McDodd's son Jojo is silent and feels his father doesn't recognize his talent Horton also faces persecution from Mother Kangaroo thinking he's poisoning the animals' minds making up imaginary lies, she believes things are perfect too and fears the community standards are in danger She makes it her mission to stop Horton and destroying the spec The movie is amazing family entertainment, a great cast of characters, it's visually fun to watch given how fast and fluid the characters' movements are, the creatures brought to life are imaginative, and it's funny A person is a person no matter how small and you're not insignificant acts as the overall core of it next to having faith This entry is a perfect adaptation of the late Dr. Seuss with lots of warmth
