Horton hears a Who!

Let's be honest. Its MIB with an elephant. Or should I say, EIB. But that doesnt make sense either as elephants are always black. So it is just Mr.H (Horton) saving the people of Whosville living on a speck. Ok, I might be simplifying things here. There is also a Kangaroo ruling the wild who preaches "If you can't see or hear or feel, then it doesn't exist". Sometimes, I feel it is questioning God. And a mouse who is the best friend to our elephant hero. And of course, the Mayor of Whosville has 96 daughters and 1 son and is having big trouble convincing the council that he is not as stupid as he appears though he is voiced by "The Office" fame Steve Carell. There is more to the jungle and the fun is always high when Horton hears a Who, a citizen of Whosville living on a speck which I have told already. There is nothing more to say about the story. As it is based on a children's bed time story book, it also carries a moral at the end in Dr. Seuss's own intelligent way.

Now lets talk about the movie's from the non-story perspective. Considering the graphics and animation style, it was kept as simple as possible with colors reminding of the children's book itself. It is always smooth and attractive to children. But the greatest achievement of the animation in the film is Horton. It is highly creative to animate an elephant which expect for the trunk cannot hold anything. But they have made it better in bringing the elephant not only handsome but very funny in its appearance and acting. It looks more alive in its performance. Some appreciation must go to Jim Carrey for voicing Horton.

As a whole, this movie may not be a classic like "Finding Nemo" or "Happy Feet", but it has its own style and stands out cool.

As Horton repeatedly speaks, "A person is still a person, no matter how small."
