Movie Reviews of Horton Hears a Who! [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: An animated triumph!
Summary: 5 Stars
On the island of Nool, in the jungles there lived an Elephant named Horton (Voiced by Jim Carrey) who had some friends like a mouse named Morton (Voiced by Seth Rogen). However the jungle is controlled by a snobby Kangaroo (Voiced by Carol Burnett) whom feels like a boss to our hero, but one day he discovers a speck on a clover that contains a world of people called Whos, the mayor of Whoville (Voiced by Steve Carrell) befriends Horton and the Elephant must try to protect it from the dangers of the Island where he must take the clover with the speck to a safe place where it won't be harmed.
Utterly delightful, charming and hilarious adaptation of Dr. Seuss's beloved novel! this animated comedy is one of the best non-pixar CGI animated movies in recent memory. The animation from Blue Sky is absolutely superb and there's plenty of good in-jokes and laughs for adults and teens as well as kids, Jim Carrey perfected the title hero quite well. The film co-stars Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Jesse McCarthy, Jonah Hill and Dan Fogler also do some wonderful vocal performances and the colors with backgrounds are just incredible even some of the traditionally animated sequences done in 2D animation are superb. It's a fresh and creative adaptation of the book without bathroom humor or reused jokes but good timed humor, the film does offer a big moral that sends out like a message to the audience as this is a must see animated movie.
This Blu-Ray contains brilliant picture and awesome sound that makes you feel like you saw it at the theater! the extras are terrific like audio commentary, a sneek peek at "Ice Age 3", an "Ice Age" short, Picture-in-Picture bonus View where you watch the movie with a Who but only if you have a Bonus-View enabled player. Digital Copy, Featurettes, deleted scenes, animation screen tests, and game.
Summary of Horton Hears a Who! [Blu-ray]
Genre: Family
Rating: G
Release Date: 9-DEC-2008
Media Type: Blu-Ray
Dr. Seuss's classic 1954 book Horton Hears a Who has entertained generations of children and served as the inspiration for a 26-minute, 1970 television special Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who and the 2000 Broadway musical Seussical: The Musical. This 2008, full-length animated movie features the voice talents of Jim Carrey as Horton, Steve Carrell as the Mayor of Whoville, Carol Burnett as the Kangaroo, and Jesse McCartney as JoJo and promises to delight a whole new generation of children and their parents and grandparents. The technological wonders of computer animation have allowed 20th Century Fox Animation to bring to life the wacky, colorful Whoville with its minute inhabitants and the lush Jungle of Nool with its host of distinctive animals and the result is a rich, fantastical world of wonder worthy of Dr. Seuss' own imagination. All the major plot elements of Dr. Seuss' book are present, with Horton hearing the faint cry for help from a tiny dust speck atop a small clover and doing his best to protect the inhabitants of that small civilization of Whoville despite the disbelief, disdain, and persecution of his fellow animals. The feel of Dr. Seuss' original rhyming prose is partially preserved in the sparse narration by Charles Osgood that's interspersed throughout the film's dialogue and the overarching themes of staying true to one's convictions and the celebration of the power of perseverance, imagination, and kindness come through loud and clear. Horton Hears a Who is a fun rendering of a classic Dr. Seuss story that's sure to entertain viewers of all ages. --Tami Horiuchi
