"Horton Hears a Who!" *** (out of four): Delightful adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic is sure to entertain the kids, and the parents won't be too far behind.
When it comes to Dr. Seuss adaptations, it's nigh on impossible to trump 1966's animated holiday perennial "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!", with its classic, low-res animation and pitch-perfect Boris Karloff narration. As Ron Howard's 2000 live-action attempt proved, it's wiser not to even try (even with Jim Carrey covered head-to-toe in green fur as the green meanie of the title). "Horton Hears a Who!" - a computer-animated adaptation of the 1954 Seuss favorite about an imaginative elephant's belief in life on a speck of dust - may not have the staying power of "The Grinch", but it's sure to occupy a space in the (Blu-ray Disc) library of many a tyke. And the adults will have plenty of fun watching it too.
