hi it's the 14 year old film fanatic again and this is my review for Horton Hears A Who! Growing up i loved Dr. Seuss. Even at a young age i thought that cat in the hat and the grinch were massacaring his work. I knew that the work of seuss could only be done animated and finally my favourite dr. seuss story horton hears a who has made it's way into the animated world.

I might start comparing this film to Chuck Jonses' animation of horton so bear with me please.

Horton the elephant lives in the jungle of nool and one day he hears a noise on a speck. He befriends the small civilizations mayor and tries to take the "Whos world to safety" Horton is met with much anger and controversy from the rest of the jungle animals beleiving that there is no other civilization beyond their own.

Horton hears a who is a fantastic film and even very mature adults will love it.

The animation is well done and the effects on water and especially fur is the best since Monsters Inc.

Horton remains very true to seuss' story and even the little things like the famous "YOPP" are never left out.

Another thing i noticed is that most of the whos have very similar motions to chuck jonses' adaption which is great mainly because you have a combination of great rising star company blue sky with one of the worlds best animators.

After seeing this i thought that pixar would definitely have competition now. But i know that when the highly anticipated Wall.E comes out those thoughts will be crushed when it comes Oscar season again.

overall a great film for kids and adults and makes you think about life and the question of god etc etc
