I've never read the book but I knew the basic plot.

Horton is swimming, when hears a faint cry. He follows the noise to a tiny speck that has landed on clover. He decides to protect the spec. He then comes in contact with the Mayor of Whoville who is shocked to learn his world is on a tiny spec. He asks Horton to protect their world.

Horton says he'll take the spec to the top of mountain where it will always be safe. Except he runs into Kangaroo who is the biggest bitch. She keeps telling him that if you can't see or touch it, it doesn't exist. Horton replies with the famous, " a person is a person no matter how small."

I thought this movie was cute and enjoyed the movie. I liked Horton and Morton. Kangaroo was just horrible. Ugh. If you have a chance to watch this, you should.

I took my brothers to see Kung Fu Panda yesterday. When I saw the first preview way back when, I wasn't impressed. I thought "Oh God - what next?" But then just a few weeks ago, I saw a different preview and I laughed so hard, I knew this was going o be a winner. And was it ever! I laughed so hard, my brothers laughed so hard and all the parents and teeny weeny kids in the theater laughed so hard. I had tears at one point!!

Jack Black voices Po, our chubby panda working in a noodle shop. He dreams of being a Kung Fu master, so when the search is on for the legendary Dragon warrior, Po races to the Jade Temple to get a look at the chosen one. So yeah, the Jade Temple is at the top of a veeeery long flight of stairs and Po is not in the greatest shape. By the time he gets to the top, Po has been shut out of the Temple as the ceremony begins.

Desperate to get inside, Po geniusly straps himself to a chair tied to a bunch of firecrackers. He gets inside the Temple, only to be chosen as the Dragon Warrior. To the delight of NONE. Master Shifu and Master Tigress are both severely disappointed. Master Shifu throws all he can at Po, but Po doesn't give up.

Behind all of this is danger in the form of Master Shifu's former student Tai Lung, a snow leopard. Master Shifu fears him so much, thus the search for the Dragon Warrior. Tai Lung is in prison, and Shifu fears his escape.

Kung Fu Pando is the awesomeness and I highly recommend going to see this movie. It's the good stuff.
