'Horton Hears a Who!' is an inventive, witty, joyous eye-popping, and sensational movie-watching experience. I really wasn't expecting much. I thought about it as another lame attempt to make a good Dr. Seuss film. Well, as I was watching I was just dazzled! Not only is it a delight to watch, it captures the essence of Dr. Suess' book, and the character Horton.(Voiced by Jim carrey.)

The animation is one key thing about it. It has a very colorful, and warm look about it that gives you the Dr. Seuss feel. Also, it's funny. Actually funny! I hate animation humor, 90% percent of the time it's just not funny. It uses witty dialogue to be funny, instead of having people farting, or falling into trash cans.
One of my favorite scenes of the movie, is the last scene in which all of the characters sing a musical number. It's such a joyous moment. I've said this very, very rarely, but 'Horton Hears a Who!' is nothing short of Pixar quality. And that's a really good compliment.
