"Horton Hears a Who!" is may not be the best, but not the worst either. Nowadays there are just so many visually stunning animations that this one is getting lost between all the other animations.

Horton Hears a Who! may be simplistic in story, but that doesn't keep it from having charm. Great visuals and faithfulness to the book make it a very interesting animated film.

I saw an early screening and the movie is really, really good!!!

Overall it was a great movie and made me laugh a lot. Plus its a good movie to see with your mom.

The Best Animated Movie I Have Seen In Years.

This movie was better than I expected and much better than most expert movie critics gave it.

I loved the movie, especially the Japanese anime which was hysterical and a seeming random take-off from that genre. Although not so random as the directors put that in there as a nod towards Seuss's often overlooked anti-war propaganda in Japan. I believe Seuss had also just returned from Japan when he wrote Horton Hears a Who. Thought the movie was very funny throughout!

7.5/10. The movie captures the creativity of Dr. Seuss very well. Well animated, amusing screenplay and excellent voice overs. It is a very enjoyable film that all ages will enjoy. Funny, touching and well worth seeing.

I loved it. The best last half hour of any movie I've seen in a long time. Steve Carell is great.

"Horton Hears a Who!" is "The Truman Show" for kids. This time around, Jim Carrey plays Christof(Ed Harris) as a pachyderm named Horton, and Steve Carrell is Truman Burbank(Carrey) as the Mayor of Whoville. Unlike recent animated films like "Cars" and "Happy Feet", in particular, "Horton Hears a Who" deals with the paradox of our being. This "children's film" engages the viewer with a fairly sophisticated dialectic between science and religion. Horton is like a scientist. He knows that an invisible world exists. In this passion play of sorts, the second player: Kangaroo(Carol Burnett) is the embodiment of the religious fanatic who doesn't believe in science. Under Christian dogma, baptismals are conducted to prevent a person's soul from spending an eternity in hell. Keeping this in mind, makes the kangaroo's actions during the film's climax all the more provocative. Conversely, in Whoville, the mayor hears voices, like Abraham, or Moses, or any of the eighteen prophets. But Horton is more like a naive scientist than a god. And a scientist with ecclesiastical leanings to boot. Horton has faith that a self-contained world exists on that speck...based on empirical observations...he heard a voice. Science and religion have a pretzel logic in "Horton Hears a Who"; it's own set of rules, which makes sense. This is a cartoon, after all. This is science fiction.… Expand

I really liked it, funny voice acting... really good adaptation of a classic.

didn't like the animae section in teh middle - looked like they ran out of budget or time to truly complete the movie in the quality they established in the rest of the movie - concept of superhero was cute during this secion - i just HATED the illustration style - GLAD it is not the technique used through out the movie -

For kids its a 10 on 10. But if your above 15 its a waste of time. I would rather suggest wait for the DVD to come out.

Loved this movie. It was one of the funniest movies to come out in the last few years.

Great movie. It was funny, and entertaining. Horton had a great personality, and the creators were very imaginative.

I went into this movie thinking that it would would be one of those surprisingly funny Pixar movies, along the lines of Ratatouille or Bee Movie, but this movie was just not funny. I expected with Carell(the Office is great) and Carrey, it would have some good jokes. But there were maybe 3 times in the entire movie that I laughed out loud. That's not very good. The plot was alright , and the moral was fine(Now that would have been hard to blow!), but overall, just a wasted opportunity.… Expand

I love it. Simply superlative. The script is superbly written and each character is very well realized. Definitely in my top 5.

The only thing that I was worried about was the fact I was watching a movie this childish. But, this movie was still great.

Wasn't feeling it. Nope, not once during the whole movie was I feeling it. The plot just wasn't something to make a full length feature off of so no matter how well animated it never grabbed my attention, made me care, or peeked my curiosity. There was also little character development, then again since there were no memorable characters [villian stunk; Hero nothing special; victims in peril (snore)] I guess we didn't miss much. Maybe we should thank the directors for not wasting our time. Also, zippo in the comedy department. Its just a very average... very forgettable movie. Although I should say at least it was a kid friendly Dr. Suessian movie unlike that awful train wreck of a movie titled, "Cat in the Hat".… Expand

Finally, a Dr. Seuss film that captures the heart of the book! Horton was one of my favorites growing up and my kids have grown to be fans as well. I'm coming back with the family. Love Steve Carell!!!

Very cute movie. My 5 year old really enjoyed it. By far the best Dr. Suess movie to date.

Okay but some of the jokes are over kides heads and it get really slow in the middle, ask my four year old grand son.

Great film. I was laughing out loud in spots as were all of the children in the theatre. Certainly a movie for all ages!

Amazing study this film is. Perhaps another Animal Farm to be discussed in classes for years to come? The review by Chad S (advanced Scout Team) was close, but got it backwards on the science and religion thing. The Kangaroo was the embodiment of the closed-minded science and atheistic community that will only accept what they see, touch, or comprehend with their own intellect. The Kangaroo represents a centralized government (communist, leftist?) that bans faith and freedom. Such things would only lead to anarchy! Only atheistic intellectuals such as herself need to be in control because everyone else is too stupid to think for themselves. So her prejudices and twisted logic drives her to whip an angry mob into arresting the Horton (the believer) and attempting to extinguish his faith from the public square. I wouldn't be surprised if the Roo is a member of the ACLU! Great movie. Go see. I would've gave it a 10 if not for that annoying anime sequence halfway through the flick. Couldn't done without that.… Expand

This was the funniest and greatest movie ever. The music empowered you, and made you hope that Whovile would stay alive, the characters made you laugh out loud from the start, and Dr Seuss' idea of a world living on a spec fules the entire movie. This movie is great for EVERYONE, including not just young kids, but teenagers and adults too.

that movie is the worst movie i have ever seen. it was the only movie in my life that made me hungry. i rate it a 0 because i think that Ratatouille, which is all about food is better.

I should have known better, considering it's a movie for kids, but unlike every Pixar movie I've seen, this movie was extremely boring. The person I went with actually fell asleep about 15 mins into it and I couldn't bring myself to wake him up so as to not miss any of the "action". That being said, it was cute enough and I'm sure parents looking for a movie to bring their 3 to 12 year olds will find something of value here. Adults looking for something of Pixar caliber, however, should probably look elsewhere.… Expand

Very cute even my 10 month old was entertained.

I think the movie was full of try hard comedy,and Steve Carrell was the wrong mayor of who-ville. Worst Seuss movie to hit the big screens.

Boring ans way too sappy.

Very cute movie!

Superbly animated and hilarious. “Horton” is a wonderful experience from frame one!

This movie was SO adorable!! I loved it.

Horton hits on all counts. While remaining true to Dr. Seuss' creative excellence, the film finally offers a real family experience. Well done!

The animation was incredible. The movie was incredibly boring. The actors did their best in this long and drawn out film.

Obviously these stupid critics don't know what they're talking about. The movie was made in the first place to entertain people. It's not suppose to be grim. It's suppose to be non-stop laughs, which it definitely was, so lighten up. This movie is definitely a family fun movie, and i loved that. Steve Carell was hilarious even animated which is a hard thing to do. This is a must see movie, don't listen to the old washed up critics and go see this movie.… Expand

Best movie in years. Our whole family (ages 14 to 71) loved the complexity, authenticity, details, and the plot.

This is the first movie that my 2 yr old has ever been to. Did not disappoint either of us.

Excellent, makes your imagination fly away, a very positive trauma.

Directors Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino bounce us neatly between the buoyantly CGI Jungle of Nool and the impeccably stylistic CGI Whoville. (Save for an absurd anime scene, that is.) Screenwriters Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul have retained the morals of the classic text, but have neglected half of their audience in the adaptation; “Dr Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!” is accessible to children. No one else. Unlike recent animated movies (like “Shrek”), “Horton Hears a Who!” is void of the intelligence that so appeals to adults, teens, and older children. It is a cheap laugh.… Expand

It was fantastic for everyone of all ages, unless you are about 13 and too cool to see movies with the family.

Hyper S, let me guess, you a forty year old, no fun kangaroo? Hmm. Just like in the movie. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll ever see the light, and be bitter forever. OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T CARE FOR IT, IT'S MEANT FOR KIDS! It's supposed to be simple, and NOT SCARY! What did you think, it was a horror movie! Oooh! Anyways, this is absolutely my favourite movie, despite my age (16). I fell in love with Jojo O'Malley, the small, sad, teenage Who, who feels his father pressures him too much.… Expand

this CGI adaptation of the book from Dr. Seuss has funny gags and it stays true to the source material which is the reason why this movie is very entertaining.

Jim Carrey did well in the movie and the story was well told and has a few funny jokes. This is a good family film.

A beautifully animated picture with a pretty darn good choice in voice talent. However, this film isn't robust enough! It drags, and I found that I was trying to forcibly convince myself that this film was excellent. It wasn't, but it does send a good message to all.
