Horton Hears a Who!
Director: Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino
Year Released: 2008
Rating: 2.0
Conservative morality in a Hollywood cartoon? Consider it likely: Jim Carrey's Horton has to convince his peers that a microscopic town called Whoville exists while Steve Carell's tiny Mayor of Whoville has to convince his constituents that there's a voice in the sky that decides their fate: it's about faith, you know. Did I mention there's actually the pro-life line just thrown in there: "A person is a person, no matter how small?" Sneaky politics aside, the animation is decent and the celebrity voices are fun though the preachy content and cornball humor make this more geared for the little ones (like the Dr. Seuss books).
