Horton Hears a Who!


Finally, an animated movie you can take your young kids to see. Horton Hears a Who! (2008) stars the voices of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell (having surpassed Carrey as hottest actor around right now) and Carol Burnett. Other than a few "stupids" and "idiots" this is a great movie for you and the kids. The animation is incredible and the story is great. Thanks Dr. Suess! They just don't write 'em like they used to.

Horton, an elephant, is a Christ-like figure who is willing to sacrifice everything to save a people (the Who's) who don't even believe he exists. He is opposed by a diabolical kangaroo that incites an angry mob to lynch Horton for stirring up things like imagination, faith and a different way of looking at life. Other themes include: just because you can't see someone it doesn't mean he doesn't exist and being different can be a good thing.

Check it out and a good time will be had by all.

Did you see the movie? Did you like it? Why? What is your take?
