Movie Details
HORTON HEARS A WHO tells the story of two worlds. One LARGE and one very very small. It all begins with a little speck of dust. What a cataclysmic events causes this tiny speck of dust to become displaced, it is sent floating through the air.
Horton is enjoying life in the Jungle of Nool when he notices the speck and hears what sounds like a tiny voice coming from it. Could the voice possibly be calling for help? Horton tries to show his neighbours...but no one else can hear it, and they don't believe him. Horton tries to explain, "if you were way out in space, and you looked down at where we live, WE would look like a speck."
Horton is convinced that there's an infinitesimal world living on that piece of dust, and it needs his help. If left floating through the jungle, it would surely be destroyed. Horton vows to find a place where the speck will be safe. He will have to fight against his entire community who believes he's gone mad and are determined to stop him.
We quickly learn that Horton was absolutely right. Living on the speck is an imaginative population of "Who's" who live in "Whoville". When Horton connects with the Mayor, the Who's soon learn that their entire world is vulnerable to destruction, and Horton is their only hope. Together, the Mayor and Horton need to work together to save Whoville
