The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Okay, admittedly, I thought that this movie was going like all of the other big budget Dr. Seuss movie adaptations (The Grinch, The Cat in the Hat [2003] and The Lorax [2012]) because of how those movies completely missed the point of why people kept coming back to their original source materials, respectively. But, I've started to watch this one and.....I was shocked to find out that this movie is absolute 100% faithful to its' original source material!!!! Yeah, a big-budget Dr. Seuss movie that actually understood, appreciated and respected its' original source material?! Could this really be heaven?! But, like most movie adaptations, it's not always perfect. But, I will say that this without a doubt the best Dr. Seuss movie adaptation that we've gotten so far and I actually am glad that the production crew, the studios, and the cast put in a lot of effort into making this movie. So yeah, this movie is definitely worth a watch, if you're a huge fan or an average fan of Dr. Seuss.

This is probably a good movie for kids. It's very well animated and pretty frenetic. It also does a decent job of adapting the story. It expands Horton's story a bit, and it expands the Whoville story a lot, but it feels like it wants to stay close to the source material, unlike The Lorax.But there are a couple of things that kept me from enjoying this.First off, writers should never try and add their own rhymes to a Dr. Suess story. Pseudo-Suess feels so pedestrian and uninspired compared to the real thing, so if you can't find the story connector's you want in his work, just don't rhyme.A bigger problem is that I didn't find it very funny. A kid might, but it's silly, generic humor. I don't consider this a movie like Toy Story that is as much fun for adults as for kids.

Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! is a wonderful adaptation of the original novel and it captures the heart and spirit of it which is very rare these days. Often, while they are made with good intentions and are often entertaining, movie adaptations from books often lack the heart of the book. Also, this film stays pure to the book which is also rare.This film is about an elephant who finds about a town of Whos living on a speck of dust. Now his mission is to take the speck to a safe place before their world is destroyed while evading the evil kangaroo.The voice acting is great. The comedy pair-up of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell works in the film quite a bit!Overall, this is a fun movie that the whole family can enjoy. The animation is lovely to look at. I think the cast and crew of this film should give themselves a pat on the back for making a delightful film. I rate this film 9/10.

Jim Carrey has always been one of my favorite comedians as he is able to express himself so insanely and hilariously. He is by far the best voice actor for children's movies. He is just so talented it is a very believable voice and gives a great quality to whatever he is doing a voice for.This movie is about an elephant in the jungle named Horton who thinks he hears a voice coming out of a small flower. No one else in the jungle can hear it because their small ears but Horton discovers a small thing on it and this is a village of them apparently called whos.This is a really good family movie Jim Carrey is the real reason why it is so good he is truly the star.
