Horton Hears a Who

If you grew up a Seuss fan, you will probably enjoy this movie. It stays true to the story and the concept set forth in the book way back when. At times there are so many things going on you have to pause it or use the slo-mo to catch it all. Fun. I believe the good Dr. Seuss would have been happy with this production.

More than just being faithful to the vision or Dr. Seuss, this movie goes a bit beyond and pokes fun at pop culture and even other movies along the way. How many references to hit movies can YOU spot? And how many references to other Seuss books can you spot?

Jim Carrey is as good as Horton as he was as the Grinch a few years ago. I know the family personally approved of his work. I concur and I hope you enjoy it too. Steve Carell is the erstwhile Mayor of Whoville and Carol Burnett is the know-it-all who tries to stop Horton. Many other great voices are part of this cast including Charles Osgood as the Narrator.

Watch this with a kindred Seuss-sa-fan.
