... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreThis is probably a good movie for kids. It's very well animated and pretty frenetic. It also does a decent job of adapting the story. It expands Horton's story a bit, and it expands the Whoville story a lot, but it feels like it wants to stay close to the source material, unlike The Lorax.But there are a couple of things that kept me from enjoying this.First off, writers should never try and add their own rhymes to a Dr. Suess story. Pseudo-Suess feels so pedestrian and uninspired compared to the real thing, so if you can't find the story connector's you want in his work, just don't rhyme.A bigger problem is that I didn't find it very funny. A kid might, but it's silly, generic humor. I don't consider this a movie like Toy Story that is as much fun for adults as for kids.
... View MorePeople need to review things for what they are. This isn't The Shawshank Redemption but it is excellent for what it is. I love all sorts of movies including animated movies.This one is done excellently. It is visually great and very funny. It is the type of movie that I can watch with my son and we both enjoy it.I do have one big complaint and it comes at the end. I actually don't like the message that is sent by instantly forgiving the kangaroo. I know that it is supposed to be inclusive but some people, or kangaroos as the case might be, give up their right to be included.She's horrible to Horton, incites people to cage him and kill his friends and she suffers zero consequences. If children can handle the part of her attempting to kill his friends and caging him, I think they could handle her being in trouble for it.
... View MoreYes as a lover for animated movies at the age of(well I'm in my early 20's)I seen this little gem on TV a while back and I thought that it was going to be a really good movie because it features my favourite actor of ALL time Jim Carrey. Yes his wacky,yes he makes weird shapes with his face,but this guy always makes me laugh from Ace Ventura to Dumb & Dumber,so why did he star in this movie is beyond me.The animation was nice but god the story and everything else was stupid and GOD AWFUL. If you want my advice avoid this movie at ALL costs. Steve Carell plays a Who (his also Gru in Despicable Me 1 and 2 which were very good),while Carrey plays the elephant Horton OH YEAH and Carell's charcther lives in a god- forsaking FLOWER.Yeah it was THAT BAD.
... View MoreJim Carrey has always been one of my favorite comedians as he is able to express himself so insanely and hilariously. He is by far the best voice actor for children's movies. He is just so talented it is a very believable voice and gives a great quality to whatever he is doing a voice for.This movie is about an elephant in the jungle named Horton who thinks he hears a voice coming out of a small flower. No one else in the jungle can hear it because their small ears but Horton discovers a small thing on it and this is a village of them apparently called whos.This is a really good family movie Jim Carrey is the real reason why it is so good he is truly the star.
