AdorableAug 29, 2010 This is a very cute movie that is great for the whole family. However the ending came too quickly and suddenly and left me somewhat confused. Putting that aside, it was great entertainment for a lovely afternoon with the family.

A review in rhymeJun 24, 2010 When I first read this book,
I was just a tot. So,
I decided to see the movie -
And I liked it quite a lot!
I'll try to keep this short,
but I can't make promises here.
The movie is too great,
your children should not fear.
I know this book;
I can tell you the tale,
and here is that story,
in some minor detail:
The mayor gathers everyone
in town square
But Horton can't tell them -
he's really there.
All of the Who's and Who-ville
are unlike you and me,
They are people whom
we cannot see.
Of course, no one believes Horton,
which is sad -
the Kangaroo is making sure
that it will all go bad,
the animals rally around the kangaroo,
and they would say,
"We don't want Horton in the forest,
at all, to stay."
Horton's an elephant,
living in what we call "our world".
In the jungle of Nool there are animals,
young and old.
Who-Ville is on a flower,
and in it are all the Who.
No one can hear them but Horton,
but still, could you?
A great story, of course,
and as bad it is to say,
such examples of Kangaroos
can be found today.
I love this quote,
when Horton is about to fall,
He shouts, "A person's a person,
no matter how small!".
You should go see this movie,
I'm not afraid to tell,
the acting is great, the animation
is flawless, as well.
I won't ruin the movie,
but let me quote you this now,
although it's not in the book,
it sums up my review; how?
"I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
An elephant's faithful,
one hundred percent!"
Yuppie Social CommentaryMay 29, 2010 This is a good movie. We watched it with our three year old. She liked it. The animation was ok. From an adult/parent (my) perspective, the story was kind of boring in the beginning, but then my interest was aroused when the over protective mother character started acting up. The movie then turned to satire and slight social commentary, which made the climax and resolution interesting to me. That is why I bought it (and for my kid to watch).
Great visuals vibrant and vividMay 26, 2010 Great visual HD content and pretty entertaining, it's worth seeing once and I guess owning it, since I did buy it from target.
so good to see a movie or two....May 02, 2010 I really enjoy watching animated movies, guessing the character who plays by the voice and facial animation...every time I view they become realer and realer! It is a pleasure spending time with our 7 year old daughter........so really enjoyed the movie " Horton hears a Who"
