Only Horton the elephant (Jim Carrey) can hear the tiny whisperings of Whoville on a speck of dust. No other animal believes him, and even Whoville's microscopic mayor (Steve Carell) can't imagine where Horton's voice is coming from: "Seriously, who is this? Is this Burt from accounting?". By the time the elephant's trunk call convinces the Whos they're in danger, Vlad the killer vulture (Will Arnett) is in the air. But Horton is determined to save them: "Let that be a lesson to one and to all: a person is a person, no matter how small."

Horton certainly heard a hooray from studio account execs after earning an elephantine $296million worldwide. After the live action adaptations of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Cat In The Hat, Tinseltown finally figured out what was plain from page one: Dr Seuss works best as a cartoon. Carrey and Carell sparkle amid more colourful chaos from the production team behind Ice Age.
