Trivia
The gibberish the Mayor speaks before slamming his arm into the wall, is the same gibberish Steve Carell used when he played Evan Baxter in Bruce tout-puissant (2003) and Evan tout-puissant (2007).

Goofs
At breakfast, when it's Jo-Jo's turn with his dad, 12 seconds start on the clock, but when the mayor starts showing Jo-Jo all the perks about being mayor, the clock goes back to 12 seconds left when it should be at 5 seconds left.

Quotes
Horton: A person's a person, no matter how small.

Crazy credits
During the credits of the international version, the cast is singing "Can't Fight This Feeling", while the US version has blank credits.

True Telling instead of an Adaptation

Third time seems to be a charm for the big screen adaptations of Dr. Seuss. Finally, the film world has gotten it write in the presentation of Horton Hears A Who. There is no added surprises to this film, unlike its predecessors The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat. The storyline follows the book almost exactly, with the extra time coming from adding detail instead of adding new events.

Jim Carey does a great job in bringing the character of Horton to live, without being completely over the top. Carol Burnett as the Sour Kangaroo brings just enough fright to her role as to not completely darken the story. The characters are brought to live with the pure intent of the Dr. Seuss without seeming fake.

This is a great film for kids, especially those who know the story very well. There are enough jokes that sneak over little heads to keep adults entertained as well.
