"Horton Hears A Who" was done once, and done right, by the brilliant Chuck Jones back in 1970.

At 26 minutes, it was somewhat padded.

Now it's been extended to 88 minutes so that Jim Carrey & Steve Carell can cash paychecks.

I'm skipping this one. Why would I want to watch these idiots mug and riff for 62 minutes while ruining an otherwise charming children's story?

Dork Tower sums it up nicely.

5 For what it's worth, Entertainment Weekly magazine gave it a good review. I think just the fact that it's CG and not live-action makes it better than Cat or the Grinch. BTW, I think one of these spam comments is a Beatles lyric. Hm...
