From the creators of a successful animated movie “Ice Age” Dr.Seuss, comes “Horton ( Hears A Who ! )”.

The story is about an elephant named Horton (Jim Carrey) who hears a small noise from the small speck that he found.That small noise is like someone whose asking for help, Horton figured out that there might be somekind of life form inside the speck, a group of living thing that he must protect.

In the jungle there is a kangaroo (Carol Burnett) who thinks that she knows everything and thinks that she was the ruler of the jungle. She thinks that Horton has lost his mind when he tells her about the speck.She suggested Horton to stay away from the childrens and not influencing them with a riddiculous story like that.

But Horton believes of what he heard,and he was right.Inside the speck there is a tiny lifeform,a town called Whoville.In this town lives the whos,they live happy and safe, they only knows about good news without knowing that their world is only a speck on a clover that might be over. Horton tries to communicate with them by screaming into it.

The Mayor of Whoville is McDodd (Steve Carell) was  a devoted and fair and a litle bit odd. He had 96 daughters.But only one son named Jojo.McDodd really hopes that his son will continue his work as a mayor but Jojo seems have no intension in following his father steps.

But Jojo never speaks about it, because he didn’t want to let down his father.Horton had a best friend called Morton (Seth Rogen) a mouse, he also didn’t believe about this speck thing but as a friend he adviced Horton to keep this story for himself, cause the others might thinks that he is nuts.Horton doesn’t know that a small bump that he made have a big impact to Whoville.

McDodd realize that something unusual is happening to his town lately.He tells about what is happening in the meeting of Whoville’s city council about the Who-centenial,and he say that its better to postphone it until he knew what is happening.But the city council refuse it,they didn’t believe that somethings odd is happening in Whoville because all this time there are no bad things ever happen there.

So they mock at McDodd.One day Horton hears the sound from the speck again when McDodd was hit by a stapler. And Horton starts to speak to the speck once again.This time Mcdodd hears Horton’s voice through the broken pipe in his office deck.And they starts communicate to each other.Horton tells McDodd about his world, that his world was only a speck on a clover in his world and he was holding them.

McDodd didn’t believes it until Horton proves it by making Whoville’s dark and bright. And this really shocked McDodd. Horton promised to McDodd that he’ll keep the speck save.So he Tries to find somewhere save to put the speck and that place is on the top of mount Nool.So Horton’s journey to mount Nool begins, but its not an easy one.The kangaroo thinks that Horton has gone to far with his speck thing.

She tries to take away the speck and destroy it.With the help of Wickershams ( a group of blue monkey) and Vlad (Will Arnett) the carnivorous bird,she tries to seize the speck and kill Horton.Many funny situation happens to Horton and Whoville while he try to reach mount Nool.McDodd try to warn the people of Whoville and make them believe about the situations  their up against.

Will Horton succeed to save the people of Whoville ? Will McDodd be able to convinced the city council and the people of Whoville about the situations ? You’d better watch it.

The story is touching and full of messages.And its very funny.Great 3D animation makes the movie more perfect.A great adventure.This is a good movie to watch with all of your family.
