Phillip, it sounds like we had pretty much the same experience all around. I was also very skeptical, but mostly pleased with the result.

The anime sequence for me was the only really bad misstep and it wasn’t enough to kill what was otherwise a likeable film.

I didn’t even mind the expanded Whoville plotline. As you said, something needed to be expanded to make it work as a 90 minute movie.

I have a small complaint about Carrey’s Horton. He was good and funny and all, but he wasn’t the Horton I grew up with. A small quibble maybe, but that kind of stuff is important to me.

As Suess, I’d give it a C+
As a cartoon on its own I’d give it a B

Talualah: it’s amazing how that kind of thing works for people. Especially if you’re the head of a large evangelical thinktank.

I want to see this now, I am told it is not a bad film, as long as I do not expect anything like Dr. Seuss’s genius. I’ll take my little sister along with me, who knows, it could be fun.

I haven’t seen it myself, nor was I aware that the pro-lifers had used Horton, but its an interesting angle. I wonder how abortion advocates would respond to those claims?

Talualah…let me know how that lottery thing works out for you. I tried something similar at the casinos, but alas, it backfired a bit.

I must respectfully disagree with Luke. God and I recently had a conversation wherein He told me that I really inspired the pro-life movement to use the slogan. Sadly, He also revealed that I will ultimately be blamed when the Dr. Seuss’s estate sues for copyright infringement. But God told me I’d win the lottery in the few months if I spent $100 every day on lottery tickets, so it’s no big deal to be sued. Huzzah!

I couldn’t agree more on the “hip” attempts by the filmmakers. I greatly enjoyed the first 2-d animated sequence (that resembled Seuss’s drawings), but thought the anime one was pretty awful, as was the “WhoSpace” attempt. Without such desperate ploys, the movie would keep a timelessness that would hold its relevance – with them, it will just be dated as you say.

An interesting note: I may have been the one that first associated that line with the pro-life movement. I was a second-grader at a Lutheran elementary school, and they assigned us to write pro-life letters to President Clinton (yeah, yeah, I know–these are the joys or growing up in the evangelical Midwest). I had recently read the book, so I quoted Seuss in my letter. My teacher liked it so much, she showed it to pretty much everyone. A couple years later, I started noticing pro-life buttons and other stuff with the quote on it.

Coincidence? Maybe. But the fact is, at the tender age of eight, I singlehandedly created and/or predicted a pro-life meme.

(That and $1.50 gets me a cup of coffee.)
