With just a little bit of God-like manipulation of the mayor's world, Horton makes a believer of the Mayor, who asks that Horton get their speck to a safe place. After Horton hears that tiny scream, he attempts to communicate with the tiny person he believes made it and finally succeeds, coming through via an elaborate pipe mechanism that feeds straight to the Mayor of Whoville (voice of Steve Carell, "Evan Almighty," TV's "The Office"). While the film feels a wee bit padded at 86 minutes, its message of tolerance is wrapped up in a package to please all ages. In transporting the beloved book from the two dimensional page to a computer generated three dimensions, directors Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino maintain the spirit of Seuss visually and their animated vocal cast fleshes out the rest. They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small.After delivering a mini-lesson on the leaf bug, one that goes horribly awry, to the children of the Jungle of Nool, Horton (voice of Jim Carrey, "Bruce Almighty ") the elephant goes stumbling through his cool pool when a floating speck catches his attention and "Horton Hears a Who." Jim Carrey returns in his second starring role opposite Seuss' Whos, but this time the folks behind "Ice Age" have the good sense to keep the tale animated.
The voice Horton hears is that of the mayor! It's a story of compassion and determination to prove that any person, big or small, has the right to speak out what is right. To us it would seem incredibly small but to them it is complete with houses and grocery stores that are wonderfully tall. In fact it actually contains an entire miniature world called "Who-ville". In the Jungle of Nool, the elephant named Horton discovers something: a tiny speck of dust that can talk. This heartwarming and timeless story for is readers of all ages. "A person's a person, no matter how small."
