I don’t know if it was the movie or just that I was tired but I ended up falling asleep for a portion of this movie. I know what it was, it was the movie. Not to say that this movie is bad. No, this movie is perfect for the children between 3 to 12 years old. I kind of compare this movie to Barney, perfect for kids, mind numbing for adults.
Horton played by Jim Carrey is the elephant who has a captive audience of all the children in the forest and a huge influence on all of them finds a spec that he happens to find has a whole culture of WHO living on it. And Hortan with his big ears can hear them. But that is the problem, he is the only one who can hear them. All of the adults think that he is making all of this up about the spec and such is influencing the children to believe in make believe and they can’t have that. So, one adult in particular takes it upon herself to try and get rid of the speek. But anything that she does to get rid of the spec will destroy the WHO and Hortan has guaranteed to protect the WHO at all cost.
Steve Carell plays the Mayor of the town of the WHO who makes the initial contact with Horton and convinces him to take care of them and to get them to a safe spot so that nothing will happen to his beloved town and city. His problem is that no one believe him either. Actually, that don’t have much confidence in him at all. But he eventually does win over the town who also implore Horton to protect them also.
This movie is rated G and is for all in the family. Small children will love and adore this movie. All the children that were in my showing were laughing continuously throughout the entire film.

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who is classic, i forgot how much that guy packed into such simple storylines… they didn’t add much to the original story either except for the usual Jim Carreyisms.
