For kids its a 10 on 10. But if your above 15 its a waste of time. I would rather suggest wait for the DVD to come out.

Wasn't feeling it. Nope, not once during the whole movie was I feeling it.

Nope, not once during the whole movie was I feeling it. The plot just wasn't something to make a full length feature off of so no matter how well animated it never grabbed my attention, made me care, or peeked my curiosity. There was also little character development, then again since there were no memorable characters [villian stunk; Hero nothing special; victims in peril (snore)] I guess we didn't miss much. Maybe we should thank the directors for not wasting our time. Also, zippo in the comedy department. Its just a very average... very forgettable movie. Although I should say at least it was a kid friendly Dr. Suessian movie unlike that awful train wreck of a movie titled, "Cat in the Hat".… Expand

I should have known better, considering it's a movie for kids, but unlike every Pixar movie I've seen, this movie was extremely boring.

The person I went with actually fell asleep about 15 mins into it and I couldn't bring myself to wake him up so as to not miss any of the "action". That being said, it was cute enough and I'm sure parents looking for a movie to bring their 3 to 12 year olds will find something of value here. Adults looking for something of Pixar caliber, however, should probably look elsewhere.… Expand

I think the movie was full of try hard comedy,and Steve Carrell was the wrong mayor of who-ville. Worst Seuss movie to hit the big screens.

The animation was incredible. The movie was incredibly boring. The actors did their best in this long and drawn out film.

Directors Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino bounce us neatly between the buoyantly CGI Jungle of Nool and the impeccably stylistic CGI Whoville. (Save for an absurd anime scene, that is.)

This is the closest to be good, but not enough. Same problems with the other Seuss's adaptations films, the modern talk the popculture reference, and dumb humor.

Hey, I can hear something. Well not really. The books short, the movie is long. Childhood favorite movie, grown up and it goes old. Just like my dead German Sheperd.

Horton Hears a Who is magical.
A movie with great voice acting and beautiful scenery, the script is good and the laughs are prominent, all in all a very solid family flick.

It's a good adaptation for Dr Seaus, is just is not special.

Clever storyline. It's also kind of funny. Not my favorite Dr. Seuss movie but it's ok.
