Short description

The classic and beloved story from Dr. Seuss is now a CG animated film from 20th Century Fox Animation, the makers of the Ice Age films. An imaginative elephant named Horton (Jim Carrey) hears a faint cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Horton suspects there may be life on that speck and despite a surrounding community, which thinks he has lost his mind, he is determined to save the tiny particle! Jim Carrey and Steve Carell lead an all-star cast in bringing this wonderful family picture to life!

What's left behind the scenes

"Horton" is the second film starring Jim Carrey based on the stories of Dr. Seuss. The first was "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
Some of the trees seen in the cartoon are reminiscent of the Truffula Trees from another story by Dr. Seuss, "The Lorax".
In one scene, the Kangaroo child mentions his imaginary friend named “Thidwick.” This is a reference to another story by Dr. Seuss – “Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose.”
