It’s rare that a trailer makes me smile the moment it ends, but the preview for DR. SEUSS’ HORTON HEARS A WHO! did just that. This looks like an absolute delight. Jim Carrey sounds like he’s providing the best voice for an animated character since Robin Williams immortalized the Genie in ALADDIN. And let’s not forget Steve Carrell, who brings his slightly deranged everyman persona to the Mayor of Who-ville. And what is Who-ville? It’s an entire world located on a speck of dust, and one day Horton the Elephant (Carrey) hears a cry for help coming from this dust particle. Being the benevolent elephant he is, Horton decides to help out, to the ridicule of his fellow animal kingdomers.
It’s funny that the last time Carrey and Carrell were in a movie together, it was Carrey’s almighty show, and Carrell was a supporting player who stole the show. Now they’ve got equal billing, and in fact, Steve is quite hotter than Jim these days (although Jim Carrey is never not hot). It’s funny how things can change in the blink of an Apatow film. Horton will be hearing Whos on March 14 and you can check the trailer out HERE.
