Horton Heard A Who...

I went to see Horton Hears A Who...
The imaginative elephant Horton hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Suspecting there may be life on that speck and despite a surrounding community which thinks he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to help. Horton Hears a Who reunites Bruce Almighty co-stars Jim Carrey and Steve Carell as the eponymous elephant and the Mayor of Who-ville respectively.
It's all CG with a familiar voice from CBS Sunday Morning (Charles Osgood) as the narrator. I wasn't planning to see Horton, but, all of a sudden the family wanted to go for a drive down to Pat's Steaks. After a quick peek at the movie listings, I determined that we could make the 9:10pm showing with time to spare, if we drove slow enough.

It took a good half hour to make our way to South Philly. We stuffed our faces with steaks, fries and sodas and arrived at the theater around 8:40. We picked up some popcorn and some sodas and camped out for the commercials that run before the movie.

Horton was very entertaining. There were some surprising voices like Charles Osgood as the narrator and Carol Burnett as the Kangaroo. Even so, I had a pretty good time. The crowd that joined us in the theater was a bit on the young side, but, everyone was well-behaved.
