Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The Strict Movie Reviewer Meh. It's not bad, but I think Blue Sky's can do better. I mean, for god sake's the whole movie is CGI! The movie is actually a reboot from the 1970 TV movie: Horton Hears a Who! The original book was made by Dr. Suess (idk how to spell his name.) But the 2008 reboot. Huh? The movie is about Horton, an elephant who finds a speck and believes that there is a small world is in the speck. But there is a kangaroo that implies otherwise. Despite her saying there is nothing in the speck, Horton ignores her and tries to find a safe place for the speck so it can be undisturbed. In the speck, there is a world called, WhoVille. To be honest, the movie is not bad! There is some adult jokes in it. 1: "Boob" is said multiple times. 2: Pee jokes. 3: Poop Jokes. But the most inappropriate joke in the movie was that when Horton Crosses a deadly bridge that he almost died in, he has a smile in his face as if its like nothing ever happened, saying: "Woo! that could've been a disaster!" Then while he's walking, his legs start to move up and down. Then suddenly, he starts to shake his butt in front of the screen, with a smirk on his face. WHY!!!??? THEY EVEN ADDED A SOUND EFFECT IN IT. WHILE HE SHAKES HIS BUTT, A SOUND WOBBLY COMES WHILE HIS BUTT IS SHAKING! (which sounds wrong) Then he says: "Wow! This feels very good! It's gonna be my new since of purpose." WHAT THE HECK!? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!? Then suddenly he jumps closer to the screen TWERKING! FOLLOWED BY THE INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF THE SONG: BABY GOT BACK!! 2 SECONDS LATER, HE JUMPS MORE CLOSER TO THE SCREEN STILL TWERKING WITH A HAPPY EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE! (its almost as of Horton was proud of his fat butt shake) 3 SECONDS LATER, HE JUMPS EVEN CLOSER TO THE SCREEN, STILL TWERKING, AND STILL SMILING!!! WHO MADE THAT SCENE? WHO DID IT AND WHY!!!??? To be honest, I love his butt shake. (IM NOT GAY) But other then those jokes, its a great animated movie for kids of all ages! I recommend it! 4 out of 10!

Some Dude ...so you can skip the really stupid/annoying bits. The bits in question may be fine for kids, but for an adult they are excruciatingly annoying. I strongly recommend ejecting the DVD once the final musical number starts. There's nothing that follows that is in any way relevant to the story. On the other hand, parts of this movie are laugh out loud funny so it is worth watching. As with many kids movies, the moral gets laid on a bit thick, but usually not enough to be annoying. The animation is great and the "Seuss-ness" of the images is pretty well reproduced.It is unfortunate that most of the annoying bits weren't left on the cutting room floor. The movie would be so much better without them. I suspect the only reason they were included was to bring the movie up to its still short 86 minutes. In my opinion, they should have aimed for a 70-minute run time and offered it at a lower price, but that's probably not feasible.My rating completely depends on your ability to edit while watching. I give it a 6 if you can and a 4 if you can't.

FilmBuff1994 Horton Hears a Who! is a great movie with a very well written storyline and a terrific voice cast.The animation in this movie is absolutely beautiful,unique and it really brings Dr. Seuss's art style to life the way I think he would have wanted it to had he been around to see it,it's colourful and wacky,the way you would want an animated movie based on a Dr. Seuss book to look.I loved Jim Carrey's voice work as Horton the elephant,he clearly got to improvise some of his lines as well which I really liked and his voice definitely suited the character,I also liked Steve Carell and Seth Rogen,I am a huge fan of all three of these comedy actors.A quick and very fun movie,Horton Hears a Who is very enjoyable and imaginative and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good animation or family movie. After an elephant discovers an entire town is living on a flower,he tries to bring it to a safe place,however his jungle neighbours go against him.

Jeffrey French I have always been a fan of Dr. Seuss (which may explain why I've enjoyed so many films which can only be described as 'odd') and, while I was not sure how anyone could make an 86-minute film out of one of his books, I was curious as to how it turned out. Surprisingly, it was done quite well and Horton Hears a Who turned out to be an enjoyable journey.The Story: Horton Hears a Who is based on Dr. Seuss' classic book by the same title. The story is about an elephant named Horton who hears a cry for help coming from a small spec on a clover flower. Horton responds to the call and decides to help the small people who live on the flower. The other inhabitants of the jungle take offense at Horton, as they can't hear the people on the speck, and declare he is going mad and must be stopped. Still dedicated to helping his small new friends, Horton must get the clover to safety before it's too late.The Good: This film, like the book, contains biblical pro-life themes. Throughout the film Horton insists that "a person's a person no matter how small" and is dedicated to his mission of protecting the small people no matter what the cost. Down on the spec, the mayor must overcome the corruption in his town and convince the people of Whoville that while their town may have been stable for centuries, it's not stable anymore. The people then band together to help Horton save Whoville from imminent destruction. Also present in this film are sub-themes of friendship and dedication to a higher cause.On a more technical note, the film's animation is quite well done, but what really stands out here is the soundtrack. John Powell has once again composed a score that fits the movie like a glove but is also quite enjoyable in it's own right. While some of the characters seem a little overdone at times, they were cast well and the sound design complemented the picture excellently.The Bad: Toward the beginning of the film it becomes evident that the mayor of Whoville and his only son, Jo-Jo, do not have a healthy relationship. The father's and son's visions for Jo-Jo's future are at odds with each other and it plays out in a sullen silence on Jo-Jo's part. Fortunately, by the end of the film, father and son work together to save Whoville and I think it's safe to assume that their relationship goes uphill from there. Besides that, some slightly rude humor and a bit of name calling is all that can be considered negative in this film. As a warning, there are a few scenes that may be slightly scary for young children.Conclusion: Horton Hears a Who is a safe, clean option for an enjoyable family night. While there are a few problems with it, I believe that it can be enjoyed together by people of all ages. It's another one of those films that gives me some slight hope that Hollywood might not be completely dead.Let's hope they make many more.
