My School Cooperative Nursery Presents: Horton Hears a Who! Fundraiser
2008 (Jimmy Hayward, Steve Martino) G, 86 min
Starring: Carol Burnett, Jim Carrey, Steve Carell
Whoville's in peril! Its location unjust,
it is sadly located on a speck of dust.
Too small to count, too small to see,
the Whos need a hero to give voice to their plea.
Enter an elephant named Horton whose message is sage:
"Even though you can't hear or see them at all,
a person's a person no mater how small."
This lesson of respect Horton tries to teach
to the animals of the jungle who are a bit hard to reach.
Dr. Seuss wrote the book, now the movie's been made
by the team that did Ice Age, a family fave.
Not to be missed, but don't take it from me,
a Toronto Star critic reviewed it nicely:
"'I'm happy to say,' critic Howell wheezed,
'They rise to the challenge! Dr. Seuss would be pleased!
This is animation most animate, a kid-pic so rare,
that even adults will fall off their chairs!'"
All ticket proceeds go to My School Cooperative Nursery. Tickets are $6. Babes in arms free. Face painting for kids.
