Laughing in a movie

Horton Hears a Who!

Horton Hears a Who! is a 1954 book by Dr. Seuss.The Whos would later make a reappearance in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

The book tells the story of Horton the Elephant who, on the fifteenth of May in the Jungle of Nool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called "Who-ville", inhabited by microscopic-sized inhabitants known as Whos.

This was translated to a movie and what a wonderful movie it was


The great voices in the movie by Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell and even Seth Rogen and Carol Brunet. In this film, Steve Carrell is the Mayor of Who-Ville, a town on a dandelion full of tiny people. Jim Carrey plays Horton...who is a elephant who finds a dandelion, picks it and figures out he must protect it because of Who-ville. Seth Rogen plays a rat like creature in his role.

Worth taking you kids for. Stay for the credits damm funee

Dr. Seuss is classic; after seeing Horton Hears a Who i remembered how much he packs into relatively simple storylines... they didn't add much to the original story either except for the usual Jim Carreyisms.
