Horton Hears a Who!
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new feature film, Horton Hears a Who special edition based on the Dr. Seuss book, it is tons of fun. It stars Jim Carey as Horton, Steve Carell as the mayor of Whoville, and Carrol Burnett as the villain kangaroo; all three are hilarious.
Horton’s message, “A person’s a person, no matter how small” is a great theme for all of us, but especially for children. Dr. Suess definitely had political overtones in his work and Horton Hears a Who is no exception.
If you are shopping for last minute children’s gifts, you can’t go wrong with this one. It has an Ice Age short film as a bonus and the entire cast breaks out into “I Can’t Fight this Feeling Anymore” by REO Speedwagon at the end for all those 80’s music loving parents:)
Check out a trailer; see how many voices you can recognize:)
