 Rating:  - Great Story! Loved it!Positive, fun , & meaningful! Finally found one i could watch more than once.Loved it and so did the kids! Rating: - A winnerThis is worth watching for the gorgeous animation alone-the lush jungle where Horton lives, and the imaginatively wacky ton of Whosville. Throw in a funny story with a genuine moral message and a heartwarming ending and you've got a movie that's the kids will both enjoy and can learn from. I often wonder whether it makes a difference having big name actors do the voices-after all who cares about the voice if you're not seeing the face behind it. In this case though I don't think anyone would have been better matched for the voice of the off beat Horton than Jim Carrey. One of his best comic performances even if you don't see him. Rating:  - Completely lacking in Seuss's trademark humor and warmthI was looking forward to this movie, and it got good reviews. But I found it worse than disappointing when I watched it. The adaptation misses the warmth of Seuss, the big hearted humanity, and the wonderful weirdness. Yes, Horton is right and the rest of the "Big" world is wrong, but in the original Seuss is kind to both sides. In this adaptation the bad guys are unrelentingly shrill and unpleasant, while Horton is annoyingly superior all the way through. Neither side is able to convincingly grow or learn. Among the "Who," the characters are almost as thin, although there is a very slight story about a father and son learning to work together. I also found the animation unsatisfying. It is very good -- smooth and colorful -- but it is not Seussian. My recommendation -- if you don't already have it, get "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" -- the original, animated version, not the live action. If you already own "Grinch," just get it out and watch it again. Rating: - Jim Carrey makes a great Tribite to Dr. SeussI didn't watch this movie with children but still I fell in love with it! I do love animations but I must say that this one along with Ratatouille is by far the best featuire length animations I have ever seen! I also think this is Jim Carrey's best work! He really made Horton exactly as he should be! Great job Carrey! Rating: - "Social justice trumpets through out the world"The scene which I absolutely love is the moment when Jo Jo's secret sound system is discovered by his father; everything is alive musically, bells are ringing out, squeaky toys can be heard and every sound is joyously adding more resonance to the Who's rallying call to he heard, so the film culminates in one phenomenal musical centre piece which does lift you up. You feel when watching the film that everyone's enthusiasm at Blue Sky was poured into each frame and of course it must have helped with the voice talents of Steve Carell and Jim Carrey leading the way, as their characters were superbly animated enhancing every line and word which effortlessly tripped off their tongues. The look of the film is true to Seuss, you can see it from start to finish and on the Limited edition DVD set and Blue - Ray release you have extensive footage showing how they created the Seuss look for the characters and their environments. Blue Sky studios has been making films which try to present before children narratives which convey the big picture; in Ice Age the idea of forgiveness and of surviving together is central to the story and characters development, in Robots the idea of staying true to yourself motivates the lead character and inspires those around him to do only good in the world and in Horton, which is a Seussian story, we are presented with a character who must over come adversity in order to save a world. Horton sees that we are all responsible for the our environments well being and ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
