Horton Hears A Who!

Yesterday we headed out to the movie theater for a matinee. Jason and I saw Horton Hears A Who! and David and Devin saw Doomsday.

Horton Hears A Who! is charming. Jim Carrey is a cartoon character in real life so it is only fitting that he play Horton the elephant. Steve Carell is the Mayor of Whoville who communicates with Horton from The Speck. The Speck is a pollen like fluff floating in the air that Horton saves from doom and protects despite the fact that no one believes there are people living on the speck which Horton keeps safe on a flower. His biggest foe is the kangaroo (Carol Bernett) who is determined to get rid of The Speck and goes to great lengths to do so. Meanwhile, the Mayor of Whoville, has his own challenges to face. He must convince the perpetually positive rose colored glassed Whos that their world was in danger of being destroyed. The story has just the right amount of humor and action to keep you from looking at your watch.

The main themes of the movie are to do what you think is right no matter what or who tries to change your mind and that as Horton says,"Even though you can't see them at all...A person's a person, no matter how small."
