1) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. Great little story. Well done by Jim Carrey. Would recommend for all young children.¤

2) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. OK...I´m going to say it outloud...I am not a giant Dr. Suess fan. I know, I know...I need to de drawn and quartered. I don´t dislike Suess, in fact I quite enjoy the books, however, I do not race to see or automatically purchase any and all Suess movies, etc. Such was the case with this. We just saw it this week as it was a Christmas gift for one of the kids. Well, I wish I had raced to see it in the theater. I thought it was so perfect! What a great job was done combining obnoxious Suess rhyming and Jim Carrey with beautiful soft execution and amazing graphics! Nothing was overwhelming in a typical Jim Carrey way, just enough of him was present to lend a little edginess. The movie is beautiful! I thought that it was a nice lenght of film, long enough to add some value and so you don´t feel like you purcahsed a TV episode at a DVD price. Although I can see very young kids getting tired out, as it is not so face paced an hectic like most movies for kids these days, but that is a pleasant change. We just watched it in the evening before bedtime when our 3 year old was calm and I suggest perhaps watching it in 2 halves for younger or more active children. This is one of those movies that you rent and then wished you had saved your money and just bought. If you appreciate softer children´s movies and are not a typical Suess fan, then this is for you. Although I suspect that more traditional Suess fans will be pleased too! What a cute lesson and the characters are wonderful. You do not need to have prior Dr. Suess or Horton knowledge, you will still enjoy.¤

3) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. I did not find this film very captivating, infact I fell asleep in the middle. I think a child would find it a bit slow moving.¤

4) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. I was so excited about reserving this DVD "Horton Hears A Who",,,The movie is perfect... a five star....I heard it would be hard to find at Christmas time..but then when it hit the stands...I could have purchased it at Walmart for $5.00 less. By the time shipping and handling was added it came to almost $26.00. Walmart price $19.98 ($21.00 or so)and just down the street...Lots of copies to buy. I was very disappointed. In this financial crisis..every penny counts.¤

5) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. This is a good movie, and a pretty good adaptation of a Seuss classic. I definitely prefer it to the live-action Grinch of a few years back. Jim Carrey seems to have restrained himself a bit, which was a definite plus in my book - I could watch this movie without being so aware that Hey, Jim Carrey´s doing Horton´s voice.

However, the one thing I wish I´d known before receiving this is that the Single-Disc Edition is also a double-sided disc. I´m not sure why it had to be a double-sided disc, since the movie´s not that long. But double-sided discs are a peeve of mine - they´re easier to damage, easier to fingerprint, and no matter what I do, I seem to always get the wrong side down on the first try.¤

6) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. One of Dr. Seuss´ most beloved stories roars to life as never before in this enormous animated adventure that proves "a person´s a person no matter how small."

A playful pachyderm named Horton becomes a reluctant hero when he discovers the microscopic city of Who-ville on a floating speck of dust and embarks on a hilarious adventure to save the town from the dangers of the jungle. Featuring a who´s who of superstar voice talent, including Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, this heartwarming hit comedy delivers loads of laughs and tons of fun for the whole family!¤

7) DVD DVD Horton Hears a Who (Widescreen and Full-Screen Single-Disc Edition) by 20th Century Fox. Dr. Seuss´s classic 1954 book Horton Hears a Who has entertained generations of children and served as the inspiration for a 26-minute, 1970 television special Dr. Seuss´s Horton Hears a Who and the 2000 Broadway musical Seussical: The Musical. This 2008, full-length animated movie features the voice talents of Jim Carrey as Horton, Steve Carrell as the Mayor of Whoville, Carol Burnett as the Kangaroo, and Jesse McCartney as JoJo and promises to delight a whole new generation of children and their parents and grandparents. The technological wonders of computer animation have allowed 20th Century Fox Animation to bring to life the wacky, colorful Whoville with its minute inhabitants and the lush Jungle of Nool with its host of distinctive animals and the result is a rich, fantastical world of wonder worthy of Dr. Seuss´ own imagination. All the major plot elements of Dr. Seuss´ book are present, with Horton hearing the faint cry for help from a tiny dust speck atop a small clover and doing his best to protect the inhabitants of that small civilization of Whoville despite the disbelief, disdain, and persecution of his fellow animals. The feel of Dr. Seuss´ original rhyming prose is partially preserved in the sparse narration by Charles Osgood that´s interspersed throughout the film´s dialogue and the overarching themes of staying true to one´s convictions and the celebration of the power of perseverance, imagination, and kindness come through loud and clear. Horton Hears a Who is a fun rendering of a classic Dr. Seuss story that´s sure to entertain viewers of all ages. --Tami Horiuchi
