Horton Hears a Who! is an animated film based on Dr. Seuss book featuring the voices of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett, and Will Arnett. Produced by Academy Award winning computer animation studio Blue Sky Studios which is owned by 20th Century Fox, Horton Hears a Who! is the fourth feature film by Blue Sky Studios after Ice Age: The Meltdown.

SPOILER WARNING: Plot and/or ending details follow.

One day, Horton the Elephant (Jim Carrey) is doing his daily routine of having fun when he discovers a tiny speck of dust which is flying around after it is taken out of from its place by the wind. Horton hears a cry for help from the tiny speck. Despite the fact that he cannot see anything from the speck, he chooses to help. He runs all over the jungle just to save the speck.

Jim Carrey is the voice of Horton in Horton Hears A Who!

The speck of dust turns out to contain a small city of Whoville with residents of Whos living in the city. Horton tries and finally manages to make contact with the Mayor of Whoville (Steve Carell) who responds back despite the initial ambiguity. When Horton convinces the Mayor by changing the weather of Whoville, the Mayor believes Horton right away. Though Horton’s friends do not believe Horton’s story of people living in the speck, they gleefully play along by carrying a clover flower each.

As Horton assumes the responsibility of protecting the Whos and their home, he learns that the Mayor of Whoville has a wife, 96 daughters and one son named JoJo (Jesse McCartney) who all share a bathroom!

Sour Kangaroo (Carol Burnett), a busybody and overprotective kangaroo who is skeptical about the existence of lives on the speck, tries every possible ways to get rid of the speck. She even makes deal with the evil monkeys and the eagle hitman Vlad Vladikoff (Will Arnett) to do her dirty work.

When Sour Kangaroo manages to convince the entire jungle about Horton’s insanity in believing the speck has people living in it, all the animals gather towards Horton to help to bring Whoville to an end. Meanwhile, the people of Whoville do not believe what the Mayor has said after the Councilman (Dan Fogler) has convinced the people of Whoville that the Mayor is a moron. When the people of Whos finally hear Horton’s voice and after the disaster that has happened in Whoville, they believe him. Even the Councilman stands by him. The Mayor then convinces the entire city to make enough noises in order to save the city from being destroyed.

Overall, it’s one of the best animated films made that is not from Pixar or Disney. Quoted from Horton, “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” Indeed.

My ratings: 8 out of 10.

A hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to get indoors. Damn hilarious. From the same guy who creates How the Cat Wakes You Up in the Morning.

Since 2000, WALL*E has been doing what he was built for. After 700 years, he’ll discover what he’s meant for. Very cool animated movie from Pixar.
