“Even though you can’t hear or see them at all,
A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
That about sums up Horton’s approach to the world on a speck. He tries to convince the rest of his world that the speck is as important as they are.
I personally thought the movie was entertaining, but it didn’t seem to have the spark or spirit of Dr. Seuss. The character that came alive for me was Kangaroo with the voice of Carol Burnett. Kangaroo made a point of trying to keep the status quo and wouldn’t consider the notion of a world on a speck.
Give me a movie that seems more like a Dr. Seuss book throughout, rather than feeling like animation with quotes from Dr. Seuss thrown in to keep with the theme and title.
How do you think it compared with other animated fare over the last year or so?
