The Art of Horton Hears a Who!

Chris Wedge:
When we get excited about a movie we picture something in our heads that sometimes takes years to get to. Along the way it's like looking at the plans, the scaffolding or the paintwork. It's like, "This is going to get covered in plaster... This is going to get painted..." When you get to the end you get to a moment where you get to check with your imagination if it fits and there always comes a time where you think, "I can't come up with anything new..." But then comes a moment where it's like, "Holy crap, this is more than I ever thought we'd get in the movie!" It's a fun process to watch.

Looks good. I'm a little worried about all the star's personalities becoming a little too overbearing with all of them together. Could work though.

I actually wasn't too hopeful about it, but it really works. There are a few moments that are a little too Dreamworks for comfort, but on the whole it's suitably Pixar. The stars don't star it up in the way they would in Shark Tale or something, and Blue Sky continues its sterling tradition of creating brilliant supporting characters who add nothing to the main plot.

There's a Japanimation sequence that had me in tears.

Best Seuss by a long, long way.

I'm a little concerned about the script, but the look of this is absolutely gorgeous, rivals anything Pixar has done.

Reviews look good so far, I might actually give this a shot in the theatre.

when i saw the first preview of this, i thought it looked HORRIBLE- and this was one of my fav books as a kid! after looking at some other footage and screens, i may give this a chance. still skeptical though.

You just amped up my interest in this flick. Not that I wasn't already interested, but yeah. ;-)

I was actually leaning toward going...but then I heard they put an REO Speedwagon song in the movie.

I wouldn't call myself a purist, but I have to draw the line for a Seuss movie somewhere...and that's way over the line. MAYBE on dvd...

He looks handsome. I just saw his profile on millionaire&celeb dating site

RichMatchMaking.com. It is said he has a crush on wealthy young women on that site.
