Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! Reviews

Charming, smartly written, and hugely funny, it is not just the best of the Dr Seuss adaptations but one of the best animated features of its year.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 13, 2024

Parents and kids can rejoice. Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! is a delight.

Jim Carrey has never sounded more like Jim Carrey, which means the pudgy elephant seems animated around the voice talent of the wild comedian instead of around a fresh design.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Full of color, light and fun. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2020

Carell adds a surprising touch of tenderness as the befuddled Mayor and father of 96 daughters, one son and an ever-loving wife.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

It's pleasant enough; the segments in Horton's jungle are inventive and frequently funny, and the cast is fully committed if under-utilized.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 19, 2020

You may see it with your eyes, but you'll hear it with your heart.

Hollywood has finally found the key to bringing a Seuss story satisfactorily to life.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2009

A frequently beguiling fantasy packed with ticklish sights and vocals

Horton started as a book, less that 40 pages long. To make it a feature seems just a little bit wrong. The magic of Seuss isn't quite there. It's got the look but it's missing some flair.

| Dec 23, 2008

Taking on Seuss has proven a challenge for Hollywood, but a nice balance has been struck here between authenticity and new ideas. This one's a winner.

Full Review | Original Score: 75/100 | Dec 12, 2008

Horton Hears a Who! -- Dr. Seuss' imagination never goes out of style.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 10, 2008

What is most remarkable about this film is the fidelity it retains to Seuss' work and intentions.

| Dec 10, 2008

Lovely and only marred by a slightly sagging middle and a gratuitous, tacked on pop song finale.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2008

Even if Horton's world can't shine like Whoville, this movie's visuals keeps things vivid, while digital animation is so often crisp, precise, and cold.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 21, 2008

The movie is sweet, but not really memorable.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2008

Earth, as Robert Frost thought, might be the right place for love, but television is certainly the right place for Dr. Seuss.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 6, 2008

Adds a manic spin that strains to convey far too many moral messages while overloading the film with wacky action.
