Starring: Jim Carrey and Steve Carell
An elephant and a flower with a speck of dust on it does not exactly sound like a very interesting story. But with it being Dr. Seuss's story and having Jim Carrey and Steve Carell involved you know it has to be crazy. There are Whos , purple kangaroos, and plenty more interesting creatures in this movie. The film has elephants dancing and singing as well as some anime thrown in there. It is an interesting film and wonderfully made. It is a good movie enjoyable for all ages.
The film is about an elephant named Horton who discovers the city of Who-ville that happens to exist on a floating speck of dust. With that he embarks on a adventure filled with lots of laughs and lots of danger in order to save this microscopic city. Unfortunately no one believes that this city really exists. The only two individuals that know of these two worlds are Horton and the mayor of Who-ville. A purple kangaroo, who's ultimate goal in life seems to be to ruin everyone else's day, thinks Horton is lying and causing problems in the jungle. Her philosophy is "if you can't see it, hear it, or feel it, then it doesn't exist." She turns the entire jungle against Horton and when she tries to destroy the speck, the entire town of Who-ville made a loud sound. The sound is loud enough for all of the jungle animals to hear and with that they believe Horton.
The film has more than one great message to learned, but the lesson that is most obvious and memorable in the film is said best by Horton: "a person's a person no matter how small." This is a great movie with wholesome themes running through it. It is funny, entertaining, and a delightful movie. This movie could be enjoyed by an age. I would give this movie a rating of 9 out of 10.
