DVD Review: "HORTON HEARS A WHO" Score B

As far as animation of the past decade it has taken big leaps forward. The anime in this one is as exceptional as most recent fare has come. The star voice power (Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell) lends to the wacky nature of this Dr. Seuss story. As every story needs to have a "villian" this one is the mother kangaroo (who we can only wonder why she is in the jungle with Elephants and monkeys). The who world on the dust flake is well done in that Seussical style and fun is to be had with those characters and their dilemma. Ultimately the lesson that a person is a person no matter how small rules out in the end and saves their tiny world as they collectively make enough noise for anyone other than Horton to hear them. This is good enjoyable family animated film.
