Horton Hears a Who! (2008)


Horton Hears a Who! is another film in that lives up to its company of films with an exclamation point in the title. The acting (voices and animation) was splendid and the sets were beautiful and faithful to the Seuss style. Note: I haven't read the book myself, but I saw the film with a Seuss-ified expert on the matter who felt that the movie did it justice.

There were a few scenes where it was obvious that the directors were stalling for time to turn the children's story into a full-length feature film. I didn't mind this one bit, as these additions had a charm of their own. One anime sequence was particularly well-executed.

Go see this movie! It's over-dramatic! The final song is cringe-worthy! You will laugh! You will love it!
