Horton Hears a Who is still going strong at the box office. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth the effort. Horton is laugh out loud funny. We saw it opening weekend and my son loved it. In fact we may go see it again this week while he’s off on spring break. If you’re looking for a fun family movie Horton Hears a Who hits the spot in my opinion.
I liked this adaptation of Dr. Seuss much better than the previous attempts. I think the animation was very well done, and worked much better than using live characters. The characters could have been a little more “Seussy.” I’m not sure they completely captured the whimsical nature of the Dr. Seuss books, but the characters were loveable, and they included many of the rhymes from the original story.
Still not sure if you want to spring for the tickets? Check out the trailer:

Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who is classic, i forgot how much that guy packed into such simple storylines… they didn’t add much to the original story either except for the usual Jim Carreyisms.
as for the homeschooling issue, it seemed to be periphery to the story’s main beef, which was with small-minded control structures
