They are the Who's (the people from "the Grinch") Horton makes it his personal quest to get the Who's and their world to safety, no matter what.
ACTING: 5.5/7
Jim Carrey and Steve Carell are absolutely brilliant. It's nice to see old school talent working with one of the 'talented new kids.' The supporting cast is also absolutely fantastic, consisting of: Carol Burnett, Seth Rogen, Isla Fisher, Jesse McCartney, Will Arnett and personal favourite, Amy Poehler!

CINE / VISUAL EFFECTS: 6.5/7
Being CG, this whole movie is a special effect! It looks absolutely amazing, especially the water, which people don't often get looking that good. The fur on the animals is also quite brilliant.
SCORE / SOUND: 5/7
This movie sounds almost as good as it looks
The Mayor of Whoville's only son JoJo
OVERALL: 6/7
