Movie of the Week: Horton Hears A Who



You know, I didn't think it was possible to overact in an animated feature.

Thank you, Jim Carrey for proving me wrong.

It was good. The story was spread a little thin as was to be expected.

I think the biggest problem with all the current Dr. Seuss films is that they are made for kids who never saw the cartoon versions from the 70's (yes, I am carbon dating myself).

So when I hear Jim Carrey as Horton is sounds wrong to me. I know that's my problem and not the filmmakers.

It was good enough, guess.

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who is classic, i forgot how much that guy packed into such simple storylines... they didn't add much to the original story either except for the usual Jim-Carryisms.
