'Horton Hears a Who! 2008'


The Story


Jim Carrey provides the voice of one of the jungle of Nool’s friendliest creatures, Horton the Elephant. Horton is like that goofy older kid all the little kids want to hang out with. He’s footloose and fancy free, and definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer. His bubbly personality is at odds with Kangaroo (voiced by Carol Burnett), a woman who likes everything nice and neat and who has absolutely no imagination. Kangaroo's so anal she never even allows her son time outside of her pouch to play with the other kids. Poor guy!
Horton’s just being Horton when he hears a cry coming from the tiniest of specks. Now any other creature in the jungle of Nool might have figured they were hearing things that weren’t there, but Horton’s open-minded and willing to go along with the idea that an entire world could exist on a speck that’s resting on a stalk of clover. Making contact with the Mayor of Who-ville (voiced by Steve Carell), Horton takes on the responsibility of finding a safe place for the speck to reside, despite the fact that in doing so he becomes the laughingstock of Nool. With Kangaroo and a squad of menacing monkeys on his tail, as well as an evil vulture named Vlad, Horton sets off on a journey to save the community of Who-ville before it’s too late.
