Horton Hears A Who

So Friday night, my friend and I went to see probably my new favorite movie of all time. This will sound completely cheesy, but it was Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who!!!! I was thrilled to see another perfect children's story animated into complete genius on the screen, a high praise from an 18 year old girl. They turned one of my favorite children's books into the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. I am so happy that there are children's movies still coming out in theaters, the kids, and well my friends and I, need some good, harmless entertainment. Anyway, the movie is about an elephant, Horton, discovers a tiny spec floating in the air. Upon catching the spec, he discovers there is a complete different world on the spec. Horton has to help the citizens of WhoVille to retain safety by placing their spec on a flower in the safest place possible. Horton's neighbors think that he is crazy for trying to save a spec where microscopic people live, as they refuse to believe his "shenanigans." In the end, Horton proves there is a world beyond their own, one on that spec. This movie allows children to dream and have an imagination, something I believe people are losing each and every day.
