Horton Hears A Who! (Classic Seuss) description
Surely among the most lovable of all Dr. Seuss creations, Horton the Elephant represents kindness, trustworthiness, and perseverance--all wrapped up, thank goodness, in a comical and even absurd package.

Interesting story, great visuals, though not amazingly executed...

Horton Hears a Who (1970) - Chuck Jones
Overall, I would say that this movie is a good deal of fun. The story, with its Seussian dialogue, is always a delight, and the visuals are pretty amazing. Seuss is a really interesting visual artist with an utterly unique vision. I might be the only one to see this, but there seems to be an abstractly nightmarish quality to almost all of his creations. I don't know what it is, and I definitely can't pinpoint it, but there is something about the looks of his characters that make them all a little creepy, even Horton. So, just watching live animation of his artistic creations is entertaining in itself.
When it comes to the story, its fun and has a strong moral message, but unfortunately, it drags in a lot of areas. In particular, I was not very happy with most of the songs: They detracted more than added.
I have not seen the newly released film, but from what I hear, it changes a lot from the original book (although it is apparently delightful in its own way). Either way, I still recommend one check out this version, which stays true to the original's sense of social justice, while also maintaining the stunning art of Seuss, which the new version morphs to the point where they are not recognizable as Seussian characters anymore. |
