From my favorite movies..

As Good As It Gets

This film is pretty good. It has a great voice cast, great CGI, great story adaptation, and a good premise. There are a few problems though. One of the problems that I have with this film is that it's mainly for kids. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it can make adults like myself feel a bit off putting. And another issue is that this film can have a few goofy scenes that don't really have anything to do with the plot and could make one think "Okay, get on with it!". Other than all of that, this film is actually pretty good. As it's not only a good family film, but it also has its funny moments that make it all the more enjoyable. I recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of the book by Dr. Suess, as this film will not disappoint in the slightest.

Horton Hears a Who! is a great movie with a very well written storyline and a terrific voice cast.The animation in this movie is absolutely beautiful,unique and it really brings Dr. Seuss's art style to life the way I think he would have wanted it to had he been around to see it,it's colourful and wacky,the way you would want an animated movie based on a Dr. Seuss book to look.I loved Jim Carrey's voice work as Horton the elephant,he clearly got to improvise some of his lines as well which I really liked and his voice definitely suited the character,I also liked Steve Carell and Seth Rogen,I am a huge fan of all three of these comedy actors.A quick and very fun movie,Horton Hears a Who is very enjoyable and imaginative and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good animation or family movie. After an elephant discovers an entire town is living on a flower,he tries to bring it to a safe place,however his jungle neighbours go against him.

Horton the elephant (Jim Carrey) from the jungle of Nool hears a voice coming from a speck of dust. It turns out to be the voice of the Mayor (Steve Carell) of the microscopic town of Whoville where the Whos live. He tries to save the speck by placing it on top of Mount Nool. But nobody believes him, and the strict Kangaroo endeavors to stop him. No matter what the obstacle, Horton must save the Whos. After all, a person is a person, no matter how small.I find both sides of the story very touching. Neither character is believed by anybody. Yet they both risk it all for what they believe. The ending is especially touching. It doesn't get better than the idealism of Horton. I love Horton crossing the bridge, but Vlad may be too much. It puts a little too much ugly danger in an otherwise beautiful kids cartoon. It's a short movie, and they probably needed to pad it to fill out a full movie. It's a sweet kids movie with a good message.

I have always been a fan of Dr Seuss's funny and charming stories, but the adaptations of his work have had mixed results. There are timeless classics such as 1966's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but there are also abominations such as 2003's The Cat in the Hat.Horton Hears a Who! is one of the better adaptations of Dr Seuss's work, and succeeds amazingly well on its own terms. While aspects of the story are occasionally predictable and clichéd, and one or two of the character relationships could have been less obvious, it is colourful and hilarious entertainment for both children and adults, which compared to what it could've been is quite an achievement.Even with the predictable and clichéd moments, Horton Hears a Who!'s story is a simple and entertaining one well done. This is further advantaged by fast pacing, funny and smart writing that stays reasonably loyal to Dr Seuss's style and very likable characters.There is a lively vocal cast on board too, Jim Carrey shows he is great at comedy as well as drama and manages to be endearing as well as funny. Steve Carrell is great fun too, and it was delight to hear Annie's Carol Burnett in a supporting role. The soundtrack is infectious as well, but what made Horton Hears a Who! other than the humour was the animation, which is very clean, colourful and beautiful to look at.All in all, a terrific film. 8/10 Bethany Cox
