  • There's so much to this, the danger of intolerance from those who fear change, the multiversal possibilities of worlds within worlds, the existential dielmma of proving one's own existence, it's wonderful to see such high ideas in children's media with subtle complexity and a spark of imagination rather than pandering.

    And an excellent moral you've all heard before, I suppose there's no harm in repeating once more. Be good to each other because after all a person is a person no matter how small.

  • 2:49 - 2:55 and 3:05

    YAY! REUSED GRINCH FOOTAGE!!!

  • Because well. BECAUSE!

  • how come the whos look more like humans

    in this version instead of the 08 one lol

  • jo jo is better in the 08 one in this one he sounded more like a mommas boy sorry to say but 08 jo jo is the best!!!! and looks more like a "who" then this one did this one looked like a human lol

  • NO!

  • It's SO good to see this story unspoiled by the presence of Jim Carrey. Horton here is innocent and lovable as he should be, not loud and obnoxious as Carrey makes him.

  • Yes. The directors, in the commentary, said so.

  • ok maybe i should just stick to my own time period nd leave my heart with the '08 Jojo. hes the first one i saw anyways and is soooooooo adorable but this one is kinda creapy. did dr seuss make the Jojo in this program or the hot one in the new movie?

  • I has a buddy who looks almost EXACTLY like Jojo. His name is Joel! XD

  • so do i! except mines name is called Clyde. hes got the same personality and everything. i'm his only friend and the only one he talkes to except his parents. i love him but dont express it

  • Pause at 3:49

    oh god, me and my sister laughed for hours.

  • ???!

  • JOJO is better in the movie!!!

  • You big gray elephant, clean out your ears. The rules have been made very unkindly clear. They're boiling your dust speck in a black pot. Cause fool, they'll be no more talking to Whos who are not. Dont fall off that cliff side, you'll land on your tush. The Whickersham brothers look like George Bush. Dont think you're above the law like O.J. He didnt escape, so you wont get away. Blow out some boogers, or blow out some snot. But there will be absolutely no more talking to Whos who are not!

  • JoJo is TONS cuter in the 08 movie. =P

  • IS THAT REALLY JOJO?T-T ;(

  • The ruined the kangaroo and her kid in the movie....they made her into a Mean Girls clone while they made her kid into "just some kid".

  • yea so i like that in this jojo is like 2 and in the movie he is like an emo teen. and i also love that this is basically telling the world that if someone is crazy u should lock them up in a cage... nice one dr. s =D

  • Finished, thanks for sharing. :D

  • guys don't you read this was back in the 1970's the 2008 movie they made for the 2000 kids not the kids born in 1989 that is why jojo looks the way he does

  • The fanbase for the new Horton Hears a Who is pretty dramatic.

  • they killed jojo's coolness in this clip... i thought he was hot in the 2008 film. this is just disapointing

  • Jeez JoJo was a lil' kid in the original story not a fourteen year old

  • Personally, I like the amazing musical genius named Mike Keneally who has a CD called "Boil That Dust Speck"!!

  • In my world, everyone's a pony and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies!

  • thats disturbing....... lolz

  • Don't you mean pro-life?

  • i did

  • I love Dr.Suess! I'm doing my biograghy report on him =)

    and when I saw the new movie I cried at one part lol

  • its different in some aspects like its the mayor

    but i love the other version its just as magical

  • I read somewhere that Dr. Seuss was anti-abortion. Perhaps that is what the reference to not killing a small person is all about.

  • well no one is really "pro-abortion" just use the term pro-life please

  • XD Lol. I like the new version of Jojo, better, but I agree with whoever said before me that without the book or this version of him, there would be no Jojo.

    And, yeah. I think the new one was made to look like Dwayne from "Little Miss Sunshine" because like Dwayne he doesn't speak until like, the climax of the movie. And plus, Steve Carrel was in LMS too, so yeah lol.

    Though, out of all the Jojo's, I like the Seussical version of him the best XDDDD

  • Jojo is defintely better in the new one, i feel, hes a bit weird in this one, but in the new one hes like WOW i fell in love with him lol

  • "He's going to be roped, he's going to be caged, Horton the elephants going to be caged."

    That line is somehow catchy in a strange way :)

  • lots of tension in this one

  • its a prety and original history!

  • These are awesome..So clever

    Thank you

    Maggi

  • The new one is beter

  • WOW... jojo in the new one is cuter XP

  • The monkeys look EVIL!!!

  • Wow! I can't believe how much they changed JoJo :)

    He's much cuter in the motion picture, I've got to say.

    This version was really cute too, though xP

  • This is NOT about abortion, it's about mistrust of science and ideological intolerance

  • So the kangaroos, birds and monkeys weren't evil... they were just faithless morons intolerant of someone else's beliefs.

    A person is a person no matter how small.

  • dun dun dun

  • THANKS, I have never seen this one before. My two sons 3&5 loved it too! Makes me remember when the world was sweet and innocent.Kimberly

  • how come it is only like 24 min. total? isnt it like like supposed to be like an 1 hour?

  • isnt Selena Gomez in this?

  • That's Jojo? Such a big difference. :)

  • Dr. Seuss actually threatened to sue an anti-abortion group for using that phrase. He's highly pro-choice and so is his wife. Personally I think the fact that anti-abortion groups are using a phrase coined by someone who's actively pro-choice is a bit hypocritical and highly uncreative of them.

  • Actually it shows that "Dr. Suess" was the one who was hypocritical, refusing to act on what he intrinsically knew to be the truth, as shown by his own children's book. There seem to be a lot of people like that. You can't say in one moment that you believe that "a person's a person no matter how small" then be prochoice. He's contradicting himself. The pro-lifers are just the ones who actually believe what they say.

  • the phrase is "a PERSON is a PERSON no matter how small" a collection of cells isn't a person. it's a collection of cells.

  • You seem to forget that every living thing is a "collection of cells". The fact is that science can pinpoint no other place for the beginning of life than conception. Everything else afterward is just a stage of development like any other. Are we now going to say that humans are less valuable and less deserving of protection the younger they are in development?

  • That's just a game of semantics. There's a point at which a collection of cells is developed enough where it can be called a "developing human." I wouldn't call (pardon the crudeness) semen a developing human, just like I wouldn't call the regularly discarded eggs a developing human. It's little pieces that eventually CAN make a human. And in the early stages when they are combined, it's still just "stuff" that doesn't develop human characteristics for some time.

  • But it's not semantics, it's the facts. Semen doesn't develop, and neither do unfertilized eggs; you're right those are the things that CAN make humans. But a fertilized egg is not something that COULD be human with the right ingredients. It is human, and if we say that younger, less developed humans are less valuable and don't have a right to live in and of themselves, we have to be ready to apply that to *everything* in every situation. Otherwise it IS semantics and hypocrisy to boot.

  • Personaly, I think they were acctualy refering to different races. You know, everyone's equal, no matter if they're black, white, ext. Plus, this doesn't refer to if someone threatens your life. Even if a fetus is a person, they still have the same restrictions that comes with their lives, along with the right to life. A pregnant woman can claim that the fetus is a threat ot her life and wellbeing, therefor making abortion a form of self defence.

  • Whoa there! Isn't it just child psychology? It's a children's story, so wouldn't it be more plausible to assume that it's supposed to give children a sense of self importance?That they matter? That they're people, too, even though they're smaller and not easily heard? ..Why the hell would you involve racial politics, pregnant women or abortion in a children's tale? I, sir, believe that YOU should be roped and caged! :P You may want to getr your WHOS checked.(Whacky Hasty Overanalytical Syndrom)

  • Gosh, the attitudes of jungle animals sure changed in a HURRY at the ending!O.o

  • Jojo! He's in this one! :)

  • This one has more of a moral message to it.

    No, it isn't about abortion.

    This was written by a guy who saw WWII, what the hell do you think its about...

    Plus the message is about how political or social movements need EVERYBODY to take part in them to suceed, even the smallest people, or indeed, the smallest of the smallest.

    Its also about faith in something you cant hear or see or smell.

    The newer one is more entertaining however and JoJo is insanely adorable. And the mayor is amazing!

  • Yeah, there are two things that disappoint me about this, the original version: 1) Rudy is a tool and 2) Jojo seemed a little less serious/important. He just shows up randomly in this one, no story behind him or anything. That's why I can appreciate the remake. I thought the scenes with Horton dancing or doing crazy things were unnecessary, the ending where they all sing "Can't fight this feeling" made me a bit mad, but I did like how they gave certain characters more personality.

  • It's not at all about "faith in something you cant hear or see or smell" , it's about being open minded and not making arrogant assumptions before you examine things closely.

    Horton believes in a Who because he hears one. And he hears one because he has big ears and he really listens. The others neither have big ears nor they even try to hear, they just deny it because it doesn't fit into their understanding. So it's about curiosity and an open mind.

    E.g. try watching "The Other Side of AIDS".

  • Oh jeez, the anti-abortion stuff has so got to stop. What, just cause the speck is white and it's home to millions it's talking about Sperm!. I see now where they get that impression but seriously, the persons protesting abortions are kissers of the ass of god and nothing more.

    if they take away abortions then it's only a matter of time before it's condoms too, and then we'll be left with a world filled with aids.

  • Ha!

    Actually I just sent a link to this video to someone I know, because people dismiss scientists who question the current HIV/AIDS theory, without even listening to what they're saying. It just seems incomprehensible that the mainstream scientists can be wrong about something that important.

    If you want to know what I mean google "The Other Side of AIDS" or "The Perth Group" or "Rethinking AIDS".

    So no, we wouldn't probably die of AIDS, but it would still be pretty troubling I agree.

  • I'm glad you might do so.

  • i think you got spammed by the kangroo!

  • lol at the end he's just like... "oh NO!"

  • Jesus...all the Jojo fanatic kids just don't think things through. Hello? Can you give some respect? If not for this Jojo, nor the one from the original book, the new movie one would NOT, repeat, NOT exist. So clam up already and think before you state an opinion. ._.;

  • jojo is cute but i like more the new one :P

  • "Come on boy you're needed!" That line had my kids laughing for minutes!

  • also in the BOOK Horton contacts the mayor, not the scientist. And Jojo looked different in the book aswell. and he never tried to figure out what to say. the mayor grabbed him, dragged him to the top of the tower and Jojo just went "Yopp"

    so this cartoon has its differences from the book as well as the new movie.

  • i agree with ckat13.

    As for Jojo, i do like his persona better in the new movie than in this one. and its not all "omfg hes emo! therefore hes cute!"

    i was always into the quiet, misunderstood but heroic characters. thats just me. Plus i do not like calling Jojo an emo. His character design is suited for his personality. But i do think Blue Sky sort of loosely pushed him in that "emo" direction so he could be more "relatable".

    emo is only a label.

  • emo is a type on music not a who therefore it is impossible for jojo or for any one else to be "emo"

  • umm... actually emo is a label people use to stereotype.

    and i never said Jojo was emo anyhow.

  • i know i dont the whole label type in general it is just as u said sterotype its the same to say mexicans are wetbacks whites are rich and all asians are smart(which i never would)

  • I like the ending...

  • i think i know why they made the new Jane purple instaed of yellow and the new JoJo emo

    they were just trying to relate to kids these days!

    Purple and Emo

    lol

  • I think its really because purple is a color that denotes Royalty (and she does enfore every rule in the jungle) and easier on the eyes than Bile Yellow.

  • That was great!!

  • That was great!!

  • I think I can safely say that I love both versions, just in different ways. Both were well done and great for the medium they were made for. (and for the time they were made)

  • ckat, your comment is the best I've read so far. I love the remake because I found it a bit more dramatic, but you're right, there's no problem liking both versions.

  • Thanks, and seriously, is there a rule somehwere that states we are only allowed to like one?

  • I agree. Although the ending when they sang was a little over kill. Aside from that it was good.

  • So glad they changed JoJo for the film, hes way cooler now. Plus i remember in the film when the sour kangaroo went to see Vlad and she said she would go see the Wickersham brothers instead and he said there not scary, but in this version, they kinder are creepy looking with those eyes.

  • at 21 seconds there is the silouette of a who that looks like the new JoJo and next to him looks like the mayor! freaky!

  • What kind of a JoJo is that?!?!? OMG he is so lame! the new one is 5000000 times better.

  • why do people care so much about JoJo,there wouldnt be a new JoJo if not for this one.and hes just a CARTOON!O__o im so tired of this over obsession of him. i mean yah hes cute in the new one and its ok to be obsessed but some people are taking things TOO far with him...:/

  • people are just following the hype. The character JoJo was made to get a certain response so people naturally want to follow it. I love Dr. Seuss and his children books because he helped me become the person I am today with good old fashioned brainwash.

  • LOVE the ending.

    "Oh no!"

    Classic!

  • The new version of Horton Hears a Who is even crazier near the end of the movie because the Sour Kangaroo sends all of the other jungle animals, not just the Wickersham Brothers to cage Horton the elephant.

  • same here that's my favorite part throughout bold versions of this story plus Han Conried and June Foray protrays Horton and Sour Kangaroo so respectily in this version sames goes to Jim Carrey and Carol Burnett in the new version of this story period.

  • the new jojo is soooo much cuter and sooo much better with the personallity

  • hahaha xDD you guys have to admit that you Love the new JoJo is just because he is emo....

    i think emo kids are just TOO cute

    i love the new jojo xDD

  • i like the new jojo because he has a story and a wonderful personality. he didnt want to be rejected by his dad so he never said anything. every once and a while he went off and did his own thing in the observatory place. also i love music so the fact that thats what he was making at the end was very cool for me :D

  • i like the new jojo better lol

  • Man... I love jojo. The original and the newest emo-like one, but this one is.... wow.

    "I tink I wiw twy a yip sir." "O-or maybe. Maybe a yopp..."

    GAWD make up your stinking mind kid! Lol

  • why is everybody spaming those guys who like original jojo and giving the old jojo haters pats on the back

  • This Jojo sucks. seriously. i respect he was one of the Originals, but...man....i just don't like this kid. "hmm my town's in danger... i'll just smile and play with my Yoyo..." meeeh.

  • that DID bother me about this one.

  • you are right! culturally following what is and what's not of today...

  • the third guy from 0:01 to 0:10 is the grinch.

  • dr. seuss' art drastically ensembles most of his characters.

  • no he isnt he doesnt talk except for in the end he says four lines in five minutes, i love jo jo

  • Puglab is right. I'm kinda tired of fangirls calling Jojo emo just to make him seem hot in their eyes.

  • ok i love jo jo but this jo jo made me mad cause he looked like a little baby the jo jo in the new horton hears a who is sooooo cool, i love jo jo

  • OMG THE IS NOT JO JO! The new jojo is TWENTY TRILLION TIMES BETTER! but thanx for the upload!

  • man this was all kinds of disturbing as a kid O__o

  • Thank you for uploading this. :)
