Not as bad as anticipated. Sort of fun. Some nice nods to the original show. The Duane Johnson character was quite fun. Over all an ok watch.
I was raised on the Dr. Suess books and used to love the illustrations. I appreciate that they kept that feel throughout Whoville, but sort of wish they had skipped their manic quest for realism in the jungle scenes. It is pretty enough, but it just didn’t feel Suess enough for me.
The story is one that almost every child is familiar with and there is nothing I can say about the story. It is appropriate for our time and a great story with wonderful characters. No disservice was done to the story.
So back to the animation style. I understand the reason for using a different style to a point for both worlds, but found the anime’ dream sequence of Horton’s to be way too off the path. It was almost as though it was shoved in there because anime’ is hot. I think it could have been skipped.
Beautiful film, fun voices, great story. Problems, but none that would keep me from recommending it and probably catching it again some day.
Horton the Elephant struggles to protect a microscopic community from his neighbors who refuse to believe it exists.
Sweet film with a happy ending. Great house they are staying at. Why don’t I have relatives with a house like that?
A widower finds out the woman he fell in love with is his brother’s girlfriend.
Better than I thought it would be. Predicatable.
God contacts Congressman Evan Baxter and tells him to build an ark in preparation for a great flood.
A family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus.
I love you Hammy.
A scheming raccoon fools a mismatched family of forest creatures into helping him repay a debt of food, by invading the new suburban sprawl that popped up while they were hibernating…and learns a lesson about family himself.
