Hear the Light - CD Sampler

Who Hears Horton?

Advantages: Lots of gags, great animation, strong voice cast, lots of adventures.
Disadvantages: Odd cast end credits singalong.

and melodramatic adventure themes. The possible dangers to the speck are underlined by threatening strings and Vlad is represented by organ and brass horror themes. Meanwhile the Mayor warrants sprightly 50s' style motifs and brighter moments are accompanied by light jazz and accordion. But then it's back to horror themes for a major chase and a rather odd cast rendition of "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" over the end credits. It is the only part of the soundtrack that jars slightly, as the rest is more appropriate to the movie. "Horton Hears a Who" is a wonderful madcap movie for the whole family to enjoy. It's slickly animated, frantically paced and laced with decent jokes from beginning to end. There are enough adventures for the kids to get a kick out of the moral and sufficient slapstick and sight gags to get a smile out of even ...

Horton Hears a Who?

Advantages: Great family movie with a great message
Disadvantages: None

Horton Hears a Who? Horton Hears a Who is the new animated film adaption of the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. Jim Carrey stars as Horton, an elephant who leads a pretty nice life in the jungle. One day he happens upon a dust speck that lands on a clover. In credibly he thinks he hears a voice coming form the speck, and lo and behold, he is right. It is the voice of Ned McDodd the Mayor of Whoville. Whoville is a small, microscopic I guess you could call it, town with lots of inhabitants. The mayor alone has 96 daughters and one son. The mayor is played by Steve Carell (he played the part of David Brent in the US version of the Office and was also in the movie 40 year old Virgin) In my opinion he is really good in this role and makes the character believable. I think Jim Carrey is great though as he always plays an outlandish part ...

Horton Hears a What???

Advantages: Great fun family film, excellent animation, good story
Disadvantages: None

Horton Hears a Who is a film which has been based on very popular book by Dr Seuss. As my 6 year old is a fan of the books I decided to treat him to the film. I will admit I have now watched it twice as I wanted to watch it on my own with no interruptions first! The film stars an elephant named Horton, voiced by Jim Carrey, who lives in the jungle of Nool. He has many friends and spends his day teaching the children. One day when he is having a bath in the river he hears a noise which seems to be coming from a tiny speck. Horton follows the noise and manages to catch the speck on a flower. No one believes him when he tells them and tells him to stop being so silly and to stop making the children believe daft things. Horton knows he is right and soon he managed to talk to one of the people on the speck. The speck is home to Who ...
