Journey to the Blue Sky Episode 4: Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who

In this episode of Journey to the Blue Sky, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2008 Blue Sky Studios animated film Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who based on the 1954 book of the same name starring Jim Carrey, Steve Carrell, Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and Amy Poehler. An elephant named Horton sees a floating speck on a pink flower hearing voices not knowing that an entire civilization of Whos living in a town called Whoville live there. The mayor of Whoville, Ned McDodd, notices earthquakes and weather changes happening all of a sudden. When Horton and Major McNodd learn about one another, Horton tries to take the speck to a safe location and Major McNodd tries to convince the Whos to postpone the celebration of Whoville with no luck. Both are trying to convince everyone of the situation, but they don't believe them. When the movie premiered in theaters, it made over $298 million dollars out of a $85 million dollar budget receiving positive reviews after both the disappointment of Ice Age: The Meltdown and the critical bashing of the previous Dr. Seuss movie adaptation, The Cat in the Hat. What did Arun and Patricia think of the movie? Listen and find out.
