The greatest movie ever made..!

the audience applauded

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Yes 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.

Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! is a wonderful adaptation of the original novel and it captures the heart and spirit of it which is very rare these days. Often, while they are made with good intentions and are often entertaining, movie adaptations from books often lack the heart of the book. Also, this film stays pure to the book which is also rare.This film is about an elephant who finds about a town of Whos living on a speck of dust. Now his mission is to take the speck to a safe place before their world is destroyed while evading the evil kangaroo.The voice acting is great. The comedy pair-up of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell works in the film quite a bit!Overall, this is a fun movie that the whole family can enjoy. The animation is lovely to look at. I think the cast and crew of this film should give themselves a pat on the back for making a delightful film. I rate this film 9/10.

I must first confess that it took me several days, almost a week, to watch the movie. The reason being that the DVD I watched it from was scratched and so I couldn't see halfway through. So a week later I got a different one and watched it again, this time seeing the rest of the film. So my true feelings of the movie kind of disappeared but in general I still have my opinions on it.First, it's definitely unique. Yet it's annoyingly political, which doesn't surprise me. It's a story about believing in something that you cannot see, hear or taste or smell or touch. And the character who does witness a sound from the speck is considered a fool and it comes to the point where he is actually threatened to lose his own life possibly or at least be injured for his views.The reason? A kangaroo who has a negative attitude about everything, like some political parties I know. Anyway, she refuses to accept any new ideas such as a speck containing life and because of that she tries to banish the elephant who does. A few things that bothered me include her use of "homes school" which was inappropriate. She used it after her son asked to play with the kids and she refused, saying he had to not be brainwashed by the silly views that the others had.This is rude because I (as I've admitted in another review for the movie RV) home school and find it wrong to make a bland assumption that home schoolers restrict themselves from the rest of the world like that. Some do, but so do public schoolers. Anyway that drove me mad but in general her negative attitude was annoying but it helped with the plot. And of course I found everyone's acceptance to quickly go and join and believe in the kangaroo's views so easily kind of fake and annoying, and in the end when..SPOILER BELOW... she finally does hear the voices and is shocked and is just sad. I mean, she goes all that way to prove she's right and then that happens? With her attitude I'd come up with an excuse and dismiss it, demanding visual proof until ultimately the small guys on the speck are able to grow (or these with the speck and the flower shrink) and then she'd be satisfied, apologize and end up being happy. But nope, she's just sad.END OF SPOILERBut anyway I still enjoyed the unique movie and liked how it was. The son who didn't speak until the very end was touching and his private location up by the planetarium building was cool.So anyway, I rate this 7 because of the unique plot. It sort of loses a point from being 8 for the silly political stuff but in the end I'm sure (and hope) that everyone knows that it's a movie so it's not all true.

This movie was such fun! I've watched parts of this movie, here and there, but I don't think I've ever watched it all of once. I'm glad I gave it a try, though, on this Saturday morning.This movie has two stories. One is about Horton, an elephant in a jungle, who has found the town of Whoville by accident and resolves to keep it safe and the other story is about the Mayor of Whoville, who is having a nervous breakdown by trying to protect his town.This movie is filled with much hilarity, that adults and kids BOTH are sure to get. The animation is excellent and really does this Dr. Seuss original book much, much justice. You're sure to laugh at Horton's funny antics and how everything is crazy down at Whoville.The main reason I liked this movie was, aside from the storyline, the graphics. The first part, where they showed the family of the Mayor during breakfast time, also really struck me. I found it cool, I guess. And kind of unbelievable. 96 daughters and 1 son! Gosh. As Horton said, "Oh, busy guy!"This movie really gives a clear and strong message. "A person's a person no matter how small." Everyone's significant! Everyone makes a difference. You, me, the guy from accounting and everyone else! It also shows us that everyone's connected somehow. I teared up during the near-ending. This truly was a great movie. Top of my favorite animated films now. Who could have hated a wonderful film such as this one!
