In this animated movie based on the Dr. Seuss book, a
talking elephant named Horton hears a tiny scream
coming from a speck of dust and discovers that there's
a whole little community within that speck of dust
inhabited by Whos. The Whos are in need of help
because they have been dislodged from safety and
sent floating through the jungle. Even though he can't
see them, Horton decides to save the Whos by putting
them on a clover and taking them to safety.
A grumpy kangaroo doesn't believe that Whos live in
the speck of dust and accuses Horton of lying to the
other jungle animals. She tries everything she can to
steal the clover from Horton. None of the Whos can see
Horton, and at first, Whoville's Mayor McDodd is the
only one who can hear him. Horton and McDodd show
great faith by believing in something that they cannot
see.
This film contains some great messages for kids.
Horton is very responsible in caring for the Whos and
doesn't listen to other people when they tell him that, "if
you can't see it, it's not there." But Horton demonstrates
a truth from the Bible: “Faith is being sure of what we
hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews
11:1).
