If I ran the circus, the gang that made the sturdy, witty, inventively animated Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! would get first dibs on any future movie productions of the Theodor Seuss Geisel canon.
Read the full reviewThe look of the story is an undeniable treat, and the message it weaves is both funny and sweet. Horton Hears a Who! is razzle-dazzling and artful, and it builds on Seuss' words by the clever cart-full.
Read the full reviewA delight, brimming with colorful, elastic characters and bountiful wit.
Read the full reviewJim Carrey re-invents Horton much as Robin Williams did with the Genie of the Lamp in Disney's animated "Aladdin."
Read the full reviewThe real stars of the movie are the animators, who imbue even the overgrowth in Horton's jungle with a certain floppy Seuss-ishness.
Read the full reviewUnlike so many computer-animated movies, "Horton" doesn't have that garish, sealed-in-plastic effect that can be so claustrophobic.
Read the full reviewIt does honor the book's flavor and spirit with a bright, funny treatment. Voice performers Jim Carrey (as Horton) and Steve Carell (the Mayor) play their roles just right, without making the movie about them.
Read the full reviewIt's a tough balancing act and probably a futile one. As greedily as Hollywood looks upon these books as a franchise to strip-mine, the hard fact remains that what's good about them - Ted Geisel's untrendy gentleness, humor, and intelligence - resists translation to the big screen.
Read the full reviewThere are aspects of ?Horton,?... that are fresh and enjoyable, and bits that will gratify even a dogmatic and orthodox Seussian.
Read the full reviewJust because the live-action Seusses have dialed down expectations doesn't mean that Horton shouldn't aspire to more than time-wasting mediocrity. There are precious childhoods at stake here.

VERY good!
"I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Both kids and adults will enjoy "Horton Hears a Who" for the quirky humor, awesome animation, well-developed characters, and a VERY cute plot and ending! I think "Horton" is the safest bet for any movie that's out right now. Take your family to see Horton Hears a Who!"

The wrong message
"I enjoyed the movie immensely. My only problem with the content was that "The Mayor" had 96 daughters, but only the one son was eligible to be the next mayor. Ninety-six daughters and only the son was eligible? Sounds like something you would show on FOX or CNN."
AMAZING!
"haha i am 14 and i went to see this movie at ten at night with a few of my friends and it was soooo...cute and funny! i loved it and i think it is a movie that all ages can enjoy and love!"
I liked it...
"There are many lessons in this movie for busy bodied pain in the neck adults who have nothing better to do but to make rules for everyone else. I believe everyone in politics, or on a school board, or similar should see this movie. Twice."
not very good
"this movie was very slow very boring that last 10 mins was excellent !! but over all this movie was bad"
Best Movie
"This was the best movie for any age to go see. I took my 2 year old niece and she loved it. This movie will have you laughing at all of the corny humor. A must see for 2008....A movie!!!!"
sister and brother claim it's good
"My sister and brother went to see this movie at the same time I was watching another. They didn't seem thrilled when they talked to me but I assume they were recovering from extensive laughter."
