Horton Hears a Who

V: Somehow I can't resist calling this "Horton Gives a Hoot", but I guess that works, too. He does, he really does. He's a very sweet pachyderm. This movie has a ton of great voice talent: Jim Carrey, Steve Carrell, Carol Burnett (wait there's a pattern here.) The story is developed well and moves along. My only complaint - maybe I missed it - is I really didn't see why the Kangaroo was soooo dead set against Horton helping his speck. I know, there's a message of intolerance and misunderstanding in there - but I could have used a little more basis for why the WHOLE JUNGLE came together to stop him. Wouldn't they realistically just write him off as a little crazy and let him go on his harmless way? (Like they did for Katie the babbling orange fluffball?) But, it was still an enjoyable little movie. 3 stars.

M: Fun and funny. Not as funny or satisfying as WallE or Kung-fu Panda. Kind of paled in comparison , but worth seeing if you have kids. 3 stars.
