Horton Hears a Who! (2008)

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Don't miss that movie, It is hilarious and has distinctive voice performance by Steve Carell . The animation is good and the idea is creative too. Miss that movie if you are expecting much.

Today's the 10th anniversary of Blue Sky's Horton Hears A Who, an adaptation of the book by Dr. Seuss. It was met with positive reviews and was considered by many to be the only good Dr. Seuss adaptation when compared to the live action Grinch and Cat in the Hat.I saw this film and I have to say I agree with them. I'll admit, there are some problems that could've been fixed. Some parts of the plot are cliched and predictable and the Japanese anime references added nothing to the plot.That being said, everything else is great. The plot maintains the style, message and spirit of the book perfectly while expanding on it. The characters are likeable thanks to some solid voice work from Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett and many others.The 86 minute length is nice and doesn't drag. Horton's relationship with the other jungle animals of Nool seemed a bit obvious, I'll admit, but the relationship between Horton and the Mayor is charming. There are some funny moments as well and the music score from John Powell is neat, but the best part is the animation, which is beautiful. If Dr. Seuss were still alive, he would be really proud because the visuals and the character designs remain Seuss-like with cartoony but solid expressions.Overall, Horton Hears A Who is a Dr Seuss adaptation done right once you can get past the cliches and Japanese anime references. Recommended to those who haven't seen it yet. Thumbs up :)

Okay, admittedly, I thought that this movie was going like all of the other big budget Dr. Seuss movie adaptations (The Grinch, The Cat in the Hat [2003] and The Lorax [2012]) because of how those movies completely missed the point of why people kept coming back to their original source materials, respectively. But, I've started to watch this one and.....I was shocked to find out that this movie is absolute 100% faithful to its' original source material!!!! Yeah, a big-budget Dr. Seuss movie that actually understood, appreciated and respected its' original source material?! Could this really be heaven?! But, like most movie adaptations, it's not always perfect. But, I will say that this without a doubt the best Dr. Seuss movie adaptation that we've gotten so far and I actually am glad that the production crew, the studios, and the cast put in a lot of effort into making this movie. So yeah, this movie is definitely worth a watch, if you're a huge fan or an average fan of Dr. Seuss.

People 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.
