Horton

I adore Dr. Seuss - completely adore all his wonderfully imaginative words and pictures. So when the boy suggested we watch Horton Hears a Who, I was worried about what they might do to my favorite doctor. Justifiably so, it seems. Here's what I think (in list form cause I lurve lists).

1. The animation is breathtaking. The things they can do now are astonishing really. The detail of the clover, the prettiness of it all, the movement - its all amazing.

2. The scenes in Whoville are terribley well realized. The town is amazing.

3. It's Dr. Seuss so a good story to start from is a given.

All this adds up to a pretty okay movie EXCEPT for

4. Some of the humor seemed to try to hard. Sometimes Jim Carrey becomes a little too zany Robin Williams-ish.

5. The story about the mayor's son is BORING.

6. And the worst worst worst atrocity, the ending song was idiotic and did nothing for the story.

I know its just a kids movie, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't try to be better.

Only 4 stars from this girl.
