While all this is going on, the Mayor has to convince the townspeople to listen to him, and get Jo-Jo, who is silent, to speak because he, his dad, believes in him. Horton escapes, finds the clover with Whoville on it, and saves the day.
The Kangaroo (Carol Burnett) scoffs at Horton and enlists Vlad (Will Arnett) the eagle (buzzard?) to destroy the speck on the clover because “If you can’t see it, it’s not there.” Vlad fails, so The Kangaroo hires the Wickersham monkey Brothers to thwart Horton on his odyssey. He realizes that there must be someone on that speck of dust and hurries to bring it to safety because “A person’s a person no matter how small.” He places thespeck on a clover, begins a conversation with the Mayor of Whoville (Steve Carell) who asks Horton to really find a safe place for Whoville – and his 96 daughters and one son named Jo-Jo – or Whoville might be destroyed. Horton (voice of Jim Carrey) is an elephant who one day hears a voice from a speck of dust drifting through the air near his big ears. Oh The Places You’ll Go! is probably my all-time favorite of the Dr. My favorite is the 1966 animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and my least favorite is the live action 2003 version of The Cat in the Hat.) We probably all have our favorite books or film/TV versions. Seuss was born Theodor Robert Geisel (1904 – 1991) and many of his books have been made into films or made-for-television specials.
