'Horton Hears a Who!' (2008)

By , About.com Guide

Director: Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino. Screenplay: Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul, based on the book by Dr. Seuss. Stars: Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, Seth Rogen. Released: March 14, 2008.

Summary

Digitally animated this time, Horton predictably features the voices of Hollywood's wackiest A-list stars, Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell, plus aspirants to that title like Seth Rogen, Dane Cook, and Amy Poehler -- plus a few veterans like Carol Burnett to lend sagacity.

Comments

Another Dr. Seuss adaptation. Everyone was hoping desperately that Horton wasn't an abomination along the lines of Grinch and Cat in the Hat, with hopes worsened by the writers' previous credits (College Road Trip, The Santa Clause 2, and Bubble Boy), with first-time directors to boot. It turned out to be not so much a travesty as entirely unnecessary.
