Family Guy ruined this for me. Every time I hear "Horton" I will think "Horton Hears Domestic Violence In The Other Room and Doesn't Call 911." and I will think "Oh, Horton, you complacent bastard."
Such a strong allusion to the religious conservative backlash against the findings of science. Dr. Seuss had such a talent for portraying tough social issues to a younger audience.
In the early days of the anti-abortion movement, they used Horton's words at 2:10 ("A person's a person, no matter how small") to plead their case. Some protestors even put Horton's picture on their signs!
As with every adaptation of the same Seuss book, this and the 2008 version each have their own merits and flaws, being products of their time. I respect both of them equally, and prefer not to compare.
I just feel I should say - Horton (and Doc Whovey and the Narrator) are voiced by Dr. Seuss' good friend Hans Conried who usually played scheming villainous types.
Here he plays Horton like the big-hearted dupe he's meant to be, and pulls it off.
@patrick9654 Sorry for asking a kind of dumb question, I have a hearing problem, so it will hear right, then hear wrong now and then, so sometimes I need help.
this takes me back for when gay means happy and fag means bikers but im 12 so i dont remember it just miss watching the old cartoons that are like this they make me wanna ask myself why is everything today sucks
the new shouldnt have even been made. the new one is way better! plus it brings back memories of eating cake by the fireplace and watching this with my parents (although most of the time they fell asleep) and singing along to all the songs!
The Whickersam Brothers song reminds me of Heffalumps and Woozles from WINNIE THE POOH AND THE BLUSTERY DAY......... Both used to scare the heck out of me!
I love the song of this from seussical the musical! Theres a song called biggest blame fool and it goes 'HUMPF humfed a voice, twas a soooouuuur kangaroooo, andt he young kangaroo in her pouch said HUMPF tooooooooo'!
Old Doc Whovey, he talk through a hose, who all doc talk to, nobody knows, then he say MY DEAR its perfectly clear that the world is a sittin' on an elephants nose.... Love it!
I love the Wickersham Brothers' song. It's weird how spot on to people's reactions it is. Considering the lyrics themselves are by Suess, a former political cartoonist, I wonder how'd he feel about today's political environment...
But that's flame bait, and neither here nor there. This video is awesome, and so is the song.
Isn't it a shame they have to remake all the wonderful, innocent, good feeling cartoons, and movies, and ruin it by putting todays talentless Hollywood people in just to make money. Today kids have no idea what innocence is about, unless parents, and grandparents play these classic cartoons, and movies.
These are the exact type of classic videos that need to be permitted to b shared forever on Youtube. With our corporate noses worried about making a penny. Keep up the good posting and finds..............
Excellent cartoon, I watched this version in Croatian (my language) in 1989 and it was much better synchronised than the new one, it was a masterpiece of synchronisation.
I watched this cartoon, however translated to Croat, when I was young kid. It was one of my favorite cartoons from my childhood, and I recently watched 2008 version - it's good but this is 10 times better. It just have that special feeling. Thanks for uploading ;D !
@Tune256 Could you please upload A Troll in Central Park and upload it from someone else's British DVD as well as some more tragic looking Disney scenes including the part where Russell is angry with Carl because of Kevin's disappearance?
