      The Horton quote "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant: An elephant's faithful one hundred percent," is actually from "Horton Hatches the Egg", the first Dr. Seuss story featuring the enduringly faithful elephant.
    • Goofs
      At breakfast, when it's Jo-Jo's turn with his dad, 12 seconds start on the clock, but when the mayor starts showing Jo-Jo all the perks about being mayor, the clock goes back to 12 seconds left when it should be at 5 seconds left.
    • Quotes

      Horton: A person's a person, no matter how small.

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits of the international version, the cast is singing "Can't Fight This Feeling", while the US version has blank credits.

    Hilarious!!!!
    I went and saw this movie with my high school drama group, we had recently done Suessical for a school musical and I played the Mayor of Whoville, and I enjoyed the whole thing from start to finish. The cast of this film did an outstanding job with the voices of the characters, Jim Carrey is most notable in my opinion. Steve Carell also did an amazing job as the Mayor of Whoville.It also has good, clean humor that is both funny and suitable for all ages. I laughed through nearly 90% of the film and I didn't see one thing that would be deemed inappropriate for someone young. This movie lives up to the legacy of the book and I don't care what age you are, you will laugh out loud and enjoy this hilarious Dr. Seuss movie.
