Dr Seuss' enchanting children's story comes to life in this colourful animated feature. ... more

HortonHears a Who?
HortonHears a Who is the new animated film adaption of the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. Jim Carrey stars as Horton, an elephant who leads a pretty nice life in the jungle. One day he happens upon a dust speck that lands on a clover. In credibly he thinks he hears a voice coming form the speck, and lo and behold, he is right. It is the voice of Ned McDodd the Mayor of Whoville. Whoville is a small, microscopic I guess you could call it, town with lots of inhabitants. The mayor alone has 96 daughters and one son. The mayor is played by Steve Carell (he played the part of David Brent in the US version of the Office and was also in the movie 40 year old Virgin) In my opinion he is really good in this role and makes the character believable. I think Jim Carrey is great though as he always plays an outlandish part ...
Advantages: Lots of gags, great animation, strong voice cast, lots of adventures. Disadvantages: Odd cast end credits singalong.
Horton is a kindly elephant who thinks he hears a voice coming from a tiny speck. The voice belongs to the Whos, a minuscule race of people led by the Mayor of Whoville. Horton decides to protect the Whos and their home, but this leads to no end of problems. No-one else believes there really are people on the speck because they can't see them and the Mayor of Whoville has a similar problem convincing his townsfolk of the existence of a giant altruistic elephant. Soon Horton is being ridiculed by the other inhabitants of the jungle, especially the snooty kangaroo who wants to stifle everyone's imagination. So will Horton stick to his belief that "a person is a person, no matter how small"?
Blue Sky studios are to Pixar what Warner Bros Animation was to Disney; the anarchic younger cousin more interested in cracking jokes than painting ...
Advantages: Hilarious! Great animation and ideas. Disadvantages: Carrey can be a bit annoying.
Horton is a large and bumbling elephant who spends his days teaching the other baby animals about nature. Voiced by Jim Carrey, he is basically exactly what you'd expect from any character related to Carrey; Exciteable and almost permanently delighted! One day a small spec floats past him and he hears what he thinks are little screams coming from it. Instantly curious, he attempts to communicate with the spec, eventually getting into contact with the Mayor of Whoville, a city that just happens to be inside the spec! At first the Mayor thinks the whole thing is a prank, but eventually believes what Horton is saying - and realises thhat Whoville is in danger. SO, it's up to Horton to take the spec to somewhere safe where the Whos can live without being disturbed. But of course, it's not that easy and there are many obstacles in the way ...
Based on the 1954 children's book by Dr. Seuss, HORTON HEARS A WHO! is a 2008 computer-animated Hollywood update of the beloved illustrated tale. Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey), a thoughtful elephant living in the jungle of Nool, discovers that an entire society, Whoville, rests inside a speck. He gently rests it on a clover flower, and searches for a place where it will be safe from the perils of the larger world. Establishing contact with Whoville's befuddled mayor (Steve Carell), Horton faces disbelief from his animal friends, including his blue mouse pal, Morton (Seth Rogen), and unwittingly incurs the wrath of an uptight kangaroo (Carol Burnett), setting the playful pachyderm on a journey to the most remote parts of Nool, with malicious vultures and monkeys not far behind.

DVD Description
Based on the 1954 children's book by Dr. Seuss, HORTON HEARS A WHO! is a 2008 computer-animated Hollywood update of the beloved illustrated tale. Horton (voiced by Jim Carrey), a thoughtful elephant living in the jungle of Nool, discovers that an entire society, Whoville, rests inside a speck. He gently rests it on a clover flower, and searches for a place where it will be safe from the perils of the larger world. Establishing contact with Whoville's befuddled mayor (Steve Carell), Horton faces disbelief from his animal friends, including his blue mouse pal, Morton (Seth Rogen), and unwittingly incurs the wrath of an uptight kangaroo (Carol Burnett), setting the playful pachyderm on a journey to the most remote parts of Nool, with malicious vultures and monkeys not far behind. Executive produced by Chris Wedge, the creator of ICE AGE, and directed by Steve Martino and Jimmy Hayward, this CGI take on Seuss (aka Theodore Geisel) is the first 21st-century adaptation to hew closely to the artist's true spirit and visual style. While Carrey, Carell, Burnett, and the rest of the vocal talent (also including Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, and Jonah Hill) contribute lively performances, the animation is the real focus of the film, displaying a stunning array of colourful characters and landscapes that capture Seuss's wonderfully whimsical aesthetic. Though Seuss loyalists might be dismayed by some liberties taken (particularly a Japanese anime-style interlude and a brief musical number set to a REO Speedwagon hit), the movie's heart is in the right place, resulting in a top-notch family feature.
