Then in Seussical, little twerp Jo-jo made goodĪs the Mayor’s son, soulful but misunderstood. That the big world beyond was unknown to the Whos. The Chuck Jones short, written by Seuss, broke the news This isn’t the first time this tale’s been retoldĪnd it’s grown in the telling, like fables of old. That Horton’s the very best Blue Sky to date. Without key-party games or rave-party moshing!Īnd it gets even better! I’m pleased to relate He’s not at all grinchy! He’s Horton-y! Very!Īnd it comes without latex! Without ribald joshing! Responsible, long-suffering, stout in a bind. The makers of Robots? Could they get it right?Ĭould they pull off Horton? You know, they just might…Īnd they have! Their Horton’s playful and kind The Grinch! Could there be a peculiarer choice?īut… what’s this? From Blue Sky? Creators of Manny Jim Carrey’s Grinch was nothing to relishĪnd Mike Myer’s Hat Cat was no more Geisel-ish.Ĭould La-La Land ever give Horton his due?Ī pro-life pachyderm who’s trusty and true?Īnd with Jim Carrey back! As Horton’s own voice! Or too small to see and denied by most others.īut the last time Who-ville came to the screen His stoical pluck shows up all other stoics!Īnd he sticks up for those who can’t yet say a word.Įven those unhatched and forsook by their mothers One book can’t contain Horton’s dogged heroics! No one’s heart’s bigger, even Thidwick the Moose
