Horton Hears A Who (Blu-Ray)
Dr. Seusss classic 1954 book Horton Hears a Who has entertained
generations of children and served as the inspiration for a 26-minute, 1970
television special Dr. Seusss Horton Hears a Who and the 2000 Broadway
musical Seussical: The Musical. This 2008, full-length animated movie
features the voice talents of Jim Carrey as Horton, Steve Carrell as the
Mayor of Whoville, Carol Burnett as the Kangaroo, and Jesse McCartney
as JoJo and promises to delight a whole new generation of children and
their parents and grandparents. The technological wonders of computer
animation have allowed 20th Century Fox Animation to bring to life the
wacky, colorful Whoville with its minute inhabitants and the lush Jungle of
Nool with its host of distinctive animals and the result is a rich, fantastical
world of wonder worthy of Dr. Seuss own imagination. All the major plot
elements of Dr. Seuss book are present, with Horton hearing the faint cry

for help from a tiny dust speck atop a small clover and doing his best to
protect the inhabitants of that small civilization of Whoville despite the
disbelief, disdain, and persecution of his fellow animals. The feel of Dr.
Seuss original rhyming prose is partially preserved in the sparse narration
by Charles Osgood thats interspersed throughout the films dialogue and
the overarching themes of staying true to ones convictions and the
celebration of the power of perseverance, imagination, and kindness come
through loud and clear. Horton Hears a Who is a fun rendering of a classic
Dr. Seuss story thats sure to entertain viewers of all ages. --Tami Horiuchi

Personal Review: Horton Hears a Who! (Widescreen Two-Disc
Special Edition + Digital Copy) starring Jim Carrey

Well, I for one LOVED this movie. While it starts out quite unusual and
quite difficult to grasp what's going on, give the story a few more minutes
to develop and you'll begin to see what it's about. It's an animated film
about an elephant who discovers an extremely tiny world inside a flower
(you'll understand when you watch it).
The people living inside the tiny world (inside the flower) are very happy
and honest folks that don't have a problem with each other in the slightest.
In fact, it's amazing how cheerful and upbeat they are!
Anyway, the point of the story is actually more about the elephant who
discovers the world- all his animal friends think he's crazy when he tries
telling them what he discovered, and the storyline for most of the film is
about the elephant running away from his animal friends so they don't hurt
the tiny world the elephant discovered. Make sense? No? You're all set
then!
But the story is honestly REALLY good. The writers that focused on the
story did an extremely good job and I couldn't believe that I, an adult, was
watching the movie with the same kind of excitement that a child would.
The storytelling was just amazingly creative and the animations from the
elephant and his friends was quite funny as well. Good stuff.
