"On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Nool, in the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool," "He was splashing..." "enjoying the jungle's great joys." "When Horton the elephant heard a small noise." " Horton!" " Horton!" "Good morning, class." "Are you ready?" "Yeah!" "Jump on board!" "Look out, below!" "Tommy's on board." "Katie, you there?" " Ha-Ah-A." " O.K." "There it is." "This is one of the jungle's most amazing creatures." "The leaf bug." "In order to protect itself from predators" "It disguises itself as a leaf" "This one's got quite a grip." "Come on, little buddy!" "Don't be shy!" "I guess I was mistaken, Kids." "There are obviously no leaf bugs in this area." " Oh, yeah." " Even a per..." "Oh!" "They're on me." "Look at..these bugs!" "I think I swallowed one." "Shoot up!" "Uh-ek Pull it out, Tommy!" "Pull it out!" "Uh~, OK." "Then, come in a 'humpf' was a sour Kangaroo." "A type who's convinced she knows better than you." "She made every law, and enforced every rule, and self proclaimed Head of the Jungle of Nool." "Why can't I play with the other kids, Mom?" "How many times have I told you?" "The jungle is no place to act like a wild animal." "My, that Horton certainly is eccentric?" "And that children are learning so much from him." "Learning to be a bunch of harebrained half-wits." "And that's why my Rudy is pouch schooled." "So, while Kangaroos stood there sneering a sneer." "Horton, that was the best time I've ever had in my life!" "What are you gonna show us next?" "Once again the speck floated right by Horton's ear." "And he heard it again." "Just a very faint yelp, as if some tiny person were calling for help." "And you know what he thought?" "What he thought, there must be someone on top of that small speck of dust." "Or even a family." "It just might be so." "A family with children just starting to grow." "I wanna live!" "I got to go." "Katie, you're in charge." "Wait!" "Come back!" "One more!" "one more!" "One more!" "one more!" " I hear someone coming." " Give me those." " Wait!" " Sound the alarm!" "Excuse me!" "for my stampede." "Sorry, Wickershams." "I promise I'm gonna clean all this up later!" "Bring the ammo!" "I love the smell of banana in the morning." "Banana in Whole!" "Come on, guys!" "We're all mammals!" "Whow!" "I feel diplomatic process is beginning to break down." "There you are." "I'll catch it. catch it." " Hi, kids." " Wow!" "There" "Now you're safe." "I know I heard you say something." "I just know it." "Where are you?" " Horton?" " Oops, sorry." "I just...ah." "There was this speck." "And th.. they called up for help." " And I was..." " The speck... called out for help?" "Well, not the speck." "I mean, that's ridiculous." "Is that what you thought I meant?" "No, the speck can't call out for help." "Come on." "Get real!" "No." "There's tiny person on that speck that needs my help." "Absurd." "There aren't people that small." "Whow, maybe they aren't small." "Maybe..." "We're big." " Horton!" " No!" "Really, think about it." "What if there is someone, way out there, looking down on our world right now." "And to them, we are the speck." "And then this someone else come along, he say," ""Oh, there can't be people that small."" "And the first guy would say:" ""Are you calling me a liar?"" "And the second guy would say:" ""If the shoe fits, wear it"" "and now the fists are flying and the first guy pick up a brick." "And you might want to zip up the pouch for the next part." "Alright, Fat boy!" " You want some of these..." " Horton?" "There is nothing on that speck." "But I heard." "Did you?" "Really?" "Oh my!" "Then how come I don't hear anything." "Well?" "If you can't see, hear, or feel something, it doesn't exist." "And believing in tiny imaginary people is just not something we do." "Or tolerate, here in the Jungle of Nool." "Really?" "Cause definitely, if I really try," "I could find somebody" " who would believe what I said." " You will do nothing of the sort." "You will not breathe a word of this lie to anyone else." "Especially the children." "I do not want you poisoning their minds with this nonsense." "Our community has standards, Horton." "If you wanna remain a part of it, I recommend you follow them." "Have a nice day." "Alright then!" "I'll ah...take that an advisement." "Certainly appreciate your input." "I don't understand." "I know I heard you." "It was just clean as nose on my face." "That's it." "Maybe you can't hear me!" "Of course your ears must be tiny." "I need to speak up!" "H-E-L-L-O-ooooo!" "Now, some people out there, and I think I know who, they find they agreed with that sour Kangaroo" ""There can't really be people as small as a mice"" "Well there can." "And there are." "Because Horton was right." "Hello!" "That single "Hello" traveled all the way down to the speck, to the clouds, to the fount of the small town." "The town known as Who-ville for there live the Whos" "Really happy and safe, knowing only good news." "Unaware that their world was a speck on a clover." "Unaware that the sweet life they lived, might be over" "The Mayor of Who-ville a man named McDodd who's devoted and fair, and a little bit odd." "The Mayor and his wife they had children to spare." "96 daughters, some here and some there." "96 girls to love, 96 girls to teach." "But the Mayors have only few second for each." "Daddy, I got better than best on my 'whostory' test." "Ah, 'whostory'." "I remembered well." "That's one of my girls." "Collie's been using my hairbrush?" "Paulie's been using my hairbrush." "Look, over there!" "There, all better." "Can I please have a whophone, dad?" "Everyone else in my class has one." "Oh, really?" "Everyone?" " Aw!" "I will think about it." " Daddy, look!" "Daddy look!" "Toos!" "It's a "th" sweetheart." "It's "Tooth"." "In Who-ville tradition, unlike yours or mine," "Mayor's oldest is the next in the Mayor of line." "And who was the oldest lead and stand tall?" "It was Jo-Jo, his son, the smallest who all." "So, Jo-Jo, what's ah!" "What's shaking?" "What's happening?" "What's the word?" "Now to you or to me, it's abundantly clear that Jo-Jo did not want his father's career." "But the Mayor pressed forward completely eluded." "And Jo-Jo just sat there in silence and brooded." "Oh, Jo-Jo!" " Hey!" "Why does he get more time?" " That's not fair!" "Son!" "Hey!" "And why didn't he speak?" "Well, I think the lad was afraid if he did, he might let down his dad." "You know what's awesome?" "This is awesome!" "Just look at the men and the women hanging on these walls." "You, my boy, are part of a family legacy that spans centuries." "You know what?" "Your grandfather was Mayor of Whoville." "Um Huh." "And, your great grandmother, that's right." "All the way down to your" "Great" "Great" "Great" "Great" "Not so great" "Great, Great" "Great, Great, Great" "Great, Great, Great" "Great~!" "Grandfather!" "Some day I hope to join them." "Be one of the Greats." "I tell you Jo-Jo, there is nothing like being Mayor." "I get to sign resolutions, approve ordinances, submit budgets." "And in the edible parade," "I'm the one sitting on top of the giant meatball." "Some day, that can be you too, Jo-Jo." "Some day you'll be the one wearing the Mayor crest." "You just..." "You just need to..." "You know what I mean?" "O.K. Good chat!" "I'm glad that we had this talk, that I'm continuing now by myself." "Good." "Oh!" "There." "There, you comfy?" "Nothing wrong with this, Morton." "Nothing wrong with this." "Just you and me and the speck." "Shooting a breeze." "We're club." "We're group." "We can take a vote on issues." "We can be a secret society," " to control pirate's power in the world." " Horton?" "And no one else can join," "Unless they wear funny hats." "Listen, Horton!" "The Chair recognizes it's brother Morton." "I am really happy you found this speck, in all." "But you might wanna think about keeping it to yourself." "Um, what, why?" "Are you talking to a clover." "That doesn't look good." "You know what doesn't look good?" "You, talking about the speck like the speck isn't even there." "Speck never said nothing bad about you." "But hey!" "Good luck with your illusional superiority." "You know, the speck can think anything it wants about me." "It's a speck." "Wow!" "I see what's going on here." "Morton, no matter how tight this speck and I get, the speck could never replace you." "I'm only sad that I would have to explain that at this point." "Well, that's awesome Horton." "That really helps." "Just try to keep this to yourself." "I'll see you later." "Try." "Hey, Horton?" "What's you got in there?" "What?" "Nothing." "We're not doing anything." "Who's we?" "We?" "What we?" "Did I say that?" "I just..." "Oh, no." "I would never say that because that would imply that I was with someone and not alone." "O.K.,seriously, you can't talk to anybody" "I mean it." "If anybody finds out about this, it could be very very bad." "I'm not sure why." "We won't tell anyone." "And if we do, we'll tell them not to tell anyone." "Perfect!" "O.K." "I'm taking a bath, right." "Cause my skin gets kind of dry." "My hoof ashen.." "While Horton came clean about the speck that he found." "How he'd saved it, when it's nearly drowned." "The Mayor set off on his morning commute, and noticed things not quite the same on his route." "But please don't blame Horton for he didn't know, that a small bump above," "I dove into the water like this was a big bump below." "Hey, Joe!" "Don't work too hard!" "Ah!" "These luxury condos they'll build themselves." "Hey, look at that." "I guess they do build themselves." "Oh~Kei, can happen?" "Now the Mayor knew it was his job to convey the unusual things that he noticed that day." "There was one problem." "Though his will was strong" " You are late." " Thank you Miss." "Yelp." "Nothing in Who-ville had ever gone wrong." "We have all that we need, We need all that we've got." "We like it in Who-ville." "We like it a lot." "We're all very busy with Who-Centennial's coming up." "So,.." "Let's bring this meeting to order." "Mr. Mayor, I presume you have some good news for us." "Well, it's news." "I don't know, if we need to go label it good or bad, or anything like that." "The thing is I have noticed some odd goings-on in Who-ville lately." "Good odd goings-on?" "Well, you know." "Tremors, clouds swirly in the sky." "And it seems to me, just to be safe, we might wanna consider..." "Pospo..nin the Who-Centenia..?" "Consider what?" "Pospo..nin the Who-Centenial?" "What?" "!" "Speak up, man!" "Postponing the Who-Centennial, alright?" "We're about to celebrate 100 years of Who-ville happiness in a harmony." "And you want to postpone the celebration?" "Well, what if Who-ville is not safe." "Nothing ever goes wrong in Who-ville!" "Never has and never will!" "You blabbering boob!" "boob!" "Boob-boob?" "The Who-centennial will proceed as planned!" "The Mayor was really being an idiot." "It will be all smile, from now on." "Girl, I got 15,000 friends already." "What?" "What you mean it don't look like me?" "That look just like me." "Ten years ago..." "Wait a minute, hold on for a second." "Treats me like an idiot?" "I'm not an idiot." "Do I look like an idiot?" " You don't want me to answer that." " I'm not an idiot." "That's nerve call me a boob?" "I would never call somebody a boob." "He is a boob." "Look at you, Yak." "Look at your face." "And I bet." "You don't look so good with this staple on your head!" "Wow!" "Wa-ha-au!" " Thank you, Miss." "Yelp." " You're welcome." "Oh!" "Hello?" "Who's that?" "show up or I'll punch you." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Who's there?" "I'm..." "This is the Mayor." "The Mayor?" "The Mayor?" "Uh, look at this Mayor!" "I knew it." "I knew it." "I knew it." "I knew it." "There's life on this speck." "The speck?" "What speck?" "Well, Am..." "I don't exactly know how to tell you this." "But,... you're living on a speck." "Well, I hate to disagree with you." "Oh, voice from the drain pipe." "But, I live in Who-ville." "Well, then Who-ville's a speck." "Right." "O.K. Seriously." "Who is this?" "Is this Bert from Accounting?" "No." "This is Horton." "I'm an elephant." "O.K. Horton, fake name." "Where are you?" "Well, from where you standing?" "I guess I'm... in the sky." "Compared to you, I'm enormous, which is saying something because I slim down quite a bit, I swim." "Your whole world fits on a flower in my world." "Oh, man, this is even inclusion for you, Bert!" "Don't believe me?" "Watch what happen when I put you in the shade." " This is absolutly impossi..." " Dark." "Light." "Dark." "Light." " Dark, light, dark, light...." "Dark!" " Wow!" " Light!" " Uooo" "Don't you see?" "We're in the middle of some kind of amazing cosmic convergence." "Two vastly different worlds." "Miraculously crossing path!" "Mine colossal!" "Yours miniscule." "Yet, somehow we've managed to make contact." "If you think about it, it's pretty amazing." "Is everything O.K. down there?" "Oh." "I.." "I don't know." "You tell me..." "You're the one holding the speck." "I'm the one who's holding the speck." "Ha!" "I'm not holding the speck." "Don't you worry, Mr. Mayor." "Um" "Hold, please." "What at all this means?" "The Mayor haven't the clue." "So he went to the office of Dr. Larue." "Brainest brain of the staff at 'Who U.'." "Dr. Larue!" "Oh, this is crazy." "Oh, Mr. Mayor." "Ah, how may I be of assistance?" "I don't know." "Hey." "You know I just wondering" "If our world were,say, a tiny speck floating through space, how would we know?" "Oh, why would you ask something like that?" "Oh, no reason, no reason at all." "I don't even remember." "Yes I do." "That you know what, some guy was talking to me not an elephant in the sky, a guy on the ground" "Ah, there would be several ramifications" "Good ramifications?" "A tiny speck." "Uh-huh, yeah, tiny speck." "Floating around..." "Well, we'd have inexplicable tremors." "Dramatic changes in the weather." "And if we didn't eventually achieve some sort of stability our world would be.. destroyed!" "Destroyed?" "Destroyed, oh destroyed!" "No somehow." "Horton?" "Ah, no." "This is Danny." "Horton is busy right now." "You, I'm joking." "That's me." "Ah, We're doomed." "Listen!" "Horton!" "Turns out I need your help a little bit." "Apparently, if that speck keeps moving around, our whole world could be obliterated." "Ah-uh So," "I need you to find us Who's a safer more stable home, and fast?" "No problem, Mr. Mayor." "Let's see..." "Wow!" "That's a nice view." "Hello, is everything O.K.?" "What's going on up there?" "This entire jungle is a house of death!" "Oh, wait." "There's good spot." "And it's then, Horton saw at the top of Mountain Nool, a small cave that is peaceful and quiet and cool, where sun flower grew, proud and tall from the ground." "There he knew every Who would be safe, would be sound." "I found it Mayor." "The perfect place." "Right up there." " On the top of the Mountain Nool" " Mr. Mayor?" " Yeah?" " I wish you could..." "Oh-ho, Ah, shiny." "Ah-ha." "The Who-centennial Committee is waiting for you to look over the giant meatball for the edible parade." "Oh, and then you're due, after dinner, for your Who-root canine." "You know, sticking Who in front of everything doesn't make it hurt less." "Just waste time!" "I don't wanna go." "Listen, Horton." "I got to go." "Apparently there's problem with the giant Meatball." "You just take care that Meatball, Sir." "And leave the freaking out to me." "So, then Horton began his long perilous trek, determined to save the small world on the speck." "Horton was faithful and store-worthy kind." "I got ya." "He was a brave hero." "I'll protect ya." "At least in his mind." "We must become invisible." "Travel silently." "For there are forces." "They would seek to destroy us." "Hee-Ha-Ah-aaaaa-Ah!" "Ah-A?" "!" "So, you think you can stick upon me, Huh!" "E-Yab!" "Ah-Dadada!" "It's clear that you're no match for my tech-niK-kei!" "Uh-uh." "He-e." "I see you mastered the way of snapping branch." "Watch me tumble!" "Horton!" "Let's go!" "You have asshole." "Mother Kangaroo has monkeys." "I wll make monkeys out of these monkeys." "It is their destiny, Huh-Uh!" "Hoi-Yat!" "My Tumble!" "My Tumble!" " Oh~" " Horton is the Greatest Hero of them all, Ha!" "Horton!" "Horton!" "Go!" "Ah~~~Cho!" "Oh, Mountain Nool is that way!" "Hahaha!" "To the top of the Mountain Nool." "As fast as lightning." "All way I hope." "Ha-it!" "Oh, sorry little fella." "You'll be fine." "Just the healing thoughts." " Horton!" " Horton!" " Look!" " Go go go!" "We've all got own clovers with flowers on them." "Yeah!" "Oh!" "In my world everyone's a pony, and they all eat rainbows, and poop butterflies." "That's beautiful, Katie." "In a really weird way." "My world is called Jessicaland." "Everyone worships queen Jessica, because Jessica is so beautiful." "Jessica, that was awesome." "Rudy?" "Mom, be careful!" "My best friend lives on there." " Rudy, no one lives on this." " What?" "It's not possible." "That Horton is a menace." "Mom, Mom, please." "You're so weird." " Don't do this to me." " Honey, go to your room." "Horton!" "It's good." "What do you think you're doing?" "Ha, you got some world in trouble." "Have you forgotten what we discussed?" "Oh, no." "I'm an elephant." "And elephants never forget." "It's a curse, really." "I remember I was on my head." "And you said: 'Huh' And I looked up." "And you said: 'what are you doing?" "'" "And I said the thing about the speck." "Then, you pulled my ears," " you poked me in the forehead." " Horton!" "But you did." "Give me that clover, Horton." "Now." "No!" "No-oU?" "Ya." "Are you sure you wanna fight this fight, Horton?" "Because I promise you will get very ugly, very fast." "And you need to ask yourself." "Do I really want to put myself through all this?" "For a clover?" "Take it from me, Horton?" "You don't." "So, hand it over." "No!" "I can't give it to you." "There're people on this speck." "Granted a very small people." "But a person's a person." "No matter how small." "You just crossed the line, Horton." "And I'm gonna make you pay." "That Horton is a menace." "He has those kids using their imaginations." "It's sick." "Alright." "I got to get this speck up to the top Mountain Nool A.S.A.P." "Whatever that means." "Probably As swiftly as Peckeder." "I mean, how hard can that be." "It's just the straight plummet to certain death." "This works... kind of precarious." "No?" "No need to worry." "Obviously, when they building the bridge like this, they take into account that elephants will be crossing here." "Alright." "Feel good." "I'll just get..." "Woo Waaa" "You'll alright!" "Uh-Eee" "Ah-Eee" "COURAGE Woo-uh, That's true." "Alright." "Hello, and how are we today, Mr. Mayor?" "Say AH-Ha~" "Ah!" "OHK!" "Rinse, please." "Eh, I think it's time these planks to be replaced." "Uh!" "Uk!" "I just need to think light." "I'm light as a feather." "I'm light as a feather." "Heavy feather." "O.K." " This will just pinch a little." " Ha-Ahaa" "I'm lighter than a feather." "What's lighter than a feather?" "Ha-ah!" "Air!" "There's nothing lighter." "So, it stands to reason... that the more air I have," "the lighter.." "I'll be." "Next, please." "Alright." "It was absoultely terrifying." "If I just pull myself up." "Try not to panic!" "UH-AH-AH~!" "Hm." "Hu-Yu." "That could've been a disaster." "Wow." "I feel really good right now." "It is my new sense of purpose." "Uh-alright!" "Hey!" "Jo-Jo I need your help." "Can you help me?" "O.K. Great." "O.K. First, I need you go to the girls room." "Take down here the China doll collection and then, ...stop looking at my arm." "Put away house light bulbs collections and then, you know what, just think of anything that might break or shatter." "O.K. take a good long look." "Got it?" "Thanks, Jo-Jo." "Here." "I know." "Hat tin" "Uh Yaaa!" "Hi!" "You're home late." "Oh, sorry Honey, I was just..." " having some dental works done on my arm" " So, what was that?" "Nedd!" "What are you doing?" "Wa" " What do you mean?" "Well, I'm no detective, Nedd." "But you are hanging from the chandelier." "I just thought it might look better somewhere it can't fall on us and crush us in our sleep." "What is going on?" "Hey, Honey." "Did you ever get the feeling that you're being watched?" "Am..." "Ya, sure." "I suppose." "And then you get feeling that maybe that thing watching you is..." "Ah..." "A giant elephant?" "Am.." "You know, how you can that weird feeling that your world actually a tiny speck?" "And then the elephant that I talked about earlier is carrying it around on a flower." "And you realize then if you tell anybody they think you're crazy." "But you still feel the responsibility to keep everyone safe." "You know that feeling?" "Am..." "You know, I'm gonna have to say no." "Do you know that feeling?" "No-Uh!" "Yarn!" "Wow!" "I'm a bit time to hit the hay, I guess." "Sweetheart." "I know you're under a lot of stress." "And if your seeing elephants and flowers, then fine." "Just don't tell anyone else that story." "O.K.?" "And remember." "It's not the end of the world." "The end of the world?" "Horton, the Mayor." "Horton, the Mayor." "Come in Mayor, over." "Horton?" "I get terrible reception here." "How about this?" "!" "I get up a real close!" "Can you hear me NOW?" "!" "Yep!" "Roger that!" "Are we at that safe place yet?" "Almost." "I'm pretty sure the worst part is over." "This is your elephant speaking." "Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and we'll have you up in Mount Nool in no time." "No, you can't have ice cream." "Go back there." "Who's there?" "Is there someone else there?" "Well, that's my wife and kids" "You have a family." "I do indeed." "A beautiful wife, 96 daughters, and one son." "Hohohoho~, busy guy." "Then we all share one bathroom." "You know that is?" "Ya." "Don't I know it?" "Bathroom?" "Nedd?" " What?" " Sweetheart." "You know you're on the roof, right?" "What's have to know is you need to go to bed." "Daddy's having a break down." "Nedd?" "What are you up to now?" "I was just about put the kids bed, when I got off the roof." "And that's .." "that's what happened, right." " Daddy?" " Yes?" " Can I have a glass of water?" " Of course." " Me too, me three, me four..." " O.K." "Hey, Jo-Jo!" "Wow." "Lot of liquid, lot of liquid." "Just the person I wanted to see." "Yeah." "I realized that we have not been seeing eye to eye lately." "And most of it is my fault." "It's true." "You know what I've been trying to do?" "I have been trying to impose my vision of your future on you." "Let me make this perfectly clear." "Jo-Jo, you can be whatever kind of Mayor you wanna be." "Hands on, strong and silent, outspoken, it's up to you." "Well, good" "I hear so much better." "I am expecting big things from you young man." "Big things." "Alright." "Good night." "Good stuff!" "Good talk." "Then, Jo-Jo snuck out feeling lonely and sad." "And tragically misunderstood by his dad." "And where was he going at such a late hour?" "Up to Whoville's abandoned star studying tower." "A place where a boy felt contented, free." "A place he could be what wanted to be." "And what was inside there, I'd say if I could." "But up above, the Kangaroo was up to no good." "Can I come out now, Mom?" "No, Rudy." "Stay in the room." " But, Mom?" " Stay inside." "Mr. Vlad-I-Koff?" "Eating, go." "Yes." "I.." "I realized you're busy." "But I need your help." "It's Horton." "He's become obsessed with the clover" "And he actually thinks there are little people on it." "I want that clover destroyed." "Sure, what a big deal this is?" "For you, bro." "I'd do it myself." "But being a lady," "I prefer not to get my hands dirty." "But I heard you have no problem with that." "No." "No problem." "Easy Peesy." "But..." "I will only do this for a price." "In exchange for a brand new pair ..." "No." " This" " Yes." " little kangaroo." " Mom?" "!" "Quiet, Rudy." "Mommy is thinking it over." "Well, thanks." "But, on second thought," "I think I'm going to have the Wickersham Brothers take care of this for me." "Yeah, of course, Wickersham." "I mean they're quasi-operation." "You know, they'd..." "Wait!" "No!" "You can't go with the Wickersham." "No No." "No no no." "Wickershams would be perfect for this job." "But, they are monkeys." "It's not scary?" "Ah, thanks anyway." "Maybe next time." "Wait!" "Here is what I will do to precious clover." "I will take it." "I will crush it." "And I will devour it." "Bigger than it looked." "One second." "Holy Moly." "Then I will regurgitate it." "Then..." "I will devour it second time." "So two times devour." "Sounds nice." "But I think I'll talk to the Wickershams." "Wait." "Here is best part." "I do all," "Gracious." "That's free, bro." "What do you think?" " Deal." " Yes." "Score." "Thanking." "You won't regret." "Mayor?" "Mayor?" "Open up, Mr. Mayor!" "Mr. Mayor!" "It's snowing in the summer!" "Yes." "Yes, it is." "It's a dramatic change in the weather." "As if we were a speck floating through space." "I don't know how you knew." "But, somehow you did." "And Whoville is headed for..." "disaster." " Oh, Horton." " What?" "Ah, nothing." "I'm on it." "It's up to us to save the people of Whoville." "Snow is not lucky." "That's not..." "Stop." "O.K. Anybody else?" "Good." "No no." "Don't join it." "This is not fun." "Uh, this is sign of doom." "Oh, sweety, that's." "No." "No no no." "Danger." "Danger." "Stop having fun immediately!" "This is dangerous." "O.K." "Horton?" "Uh?" "What?" "Hey, there." "We're in big trouble down here." "It's happening." "It's snowing in the middle of summer." "It's end of the world!" "Hold on here." "I think I know what your problem is." "There, get better?" "That seems to have worked." "Eh-uh." "Do I smell peanuts?" "Yes, they are my favorite snack." "But they tend to linger." "Ohho!" "K-Uh." "Frederick, No." "Oh-O." "Hang on Mr. Mayor." "I may have to put up a fight." "Frightened elephant can be very dangerous." "Alright!" "You come down to thunder, buddy." "You hungry for trouble?" "I don't know how you can ease yourself by." "Take a fight." "I hate running." "Morton!" " Don't do that!" " Horton!" "Horton?" "Don't..." "There you are." "We got trouble." "Wait." "Stay." "Wait." "Can you hear that?" "No I'm here." "O.K. Listen." "No, go." "Kangaroo has gone nuts, bananas." "She's telling everyone that you should be kicked out of Nool." "She said that?" "I thought we're friends." "Where is she'e gone to Vlad's." "Vlad." "Vlad." "I know two Vlads." "Is it the bad Vlad or the bunny Vlad that makes the Cookies?" "Yeah, Horton." "She's sending you a bunny with cookies." "I think we can assume it's the bad Vlad." "Yeah, that's a good call." "So, unless you're cool with giant razor sharp claws, reaping at parts of your body," "I'll get rid of the clover." "I can't." "I promised the Mayor." "I meant what I said." "I said what I meant." "And an elephant's faithful 100%." "Please, for me, just this once, be faithful 99% of the time." "I've never got 99% on anything." "And I think I'm awesome." "So come on." "I meant what I said and I said what I meant." "I'm not going to say it." "You can do it all day, it's not happening." " An elephant's faithful 100%." " That's right." "That's my code." "My motto." "But thanks for the warning." "Motto." "O.K." "But watch the skies." "Keep watching the skies!" "Mayor, you need to get everyone underground, now." " Two, Three, four..." " I wanna sound the alarm." "There's a good possibility we maybe attacked by a giant carnivorous bird." "What?" "There's small chance it could be a bunny with cookies." "But, I wouldn't count on it." " Oh, they are formidable words." " Ya" "Are you there?" "Ya, no." "That's a great idea." "It just... in order to get everyone mobilized I need the O.K. of the city council." "And they never listen to me." "I've been called boob." "Several times." " I can't do it." " You have to talk to them, Mayor." "O.K. Listen." "Bad Vlad." "Bad Vlad." "Bad Vlad!" "That is definitely not a bunny." "Lost him." "Mean to lose him, and I lost him." "This tree for real, come on!" "Hang on, Whoville!" "This is gonna get rough!" "Now you're going to dead-end." "Get ready for the best." "Leave me alone!" "No!" "Hold on!" "I just know he's gonna jump out somewhere." " Hello?" " Ah-Ak!" "Chess mate." "Now it's time for me to take clover and crush all the little people on a two sang..." "Sorry." "This is where we get off." "Ah, right in the beak!" "Ah." "Cool line." "Usually I can I think of those things to later." " Mayor?" " Ah, Horton." "Are you O.K.?" "Ah." "Well, more or less." " What happened?" "The bird?" " Ya, it attacked me." "Mayor, your people are in danger." "You know what, I'm gonna do it." "I'm going to go out there." "And tell them what is going on." "Perfect." "Now quick." "Get go on." "Hey, Mr. Mayor!" "Something's wrong!" "My basement is in the attic." "The science museum is history." " We're lost thousand in this messy." " What's going on Mr. Mayor?" "I'm declaring a state of emergency." "Don't worry." "Don't worry." "The Mayor is just being a moron." "No wait." "Whoville is in terrible danger." "Everyone needs get down to the underground storage area immediately." "Time time." "Let's do this democratically." "Who wants the joy and glory and festivity of the Who-centennial to proceed as planned?" " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "And who, like the Mayor, thinks it would be better to spend the Who-centennial in an underground storage area?" "Yeah!" "Wait!" "You got to listen to me." "Our whole world could explode." "Much more quickly." "And our world wouldn't be that noise." "The people have spoken Mr. Mayor." "You're finished." "No one believes you." "No one supports you." " Horton believes me." " Horton?" "Who's Horton?" "Horton is a giant elephant in the sky." "Don't bother look." "He is invisible." "And he is the one risking his life to get Who-ville, which by the way is a speck on a clover, to safety." "I can prove it." "Horton's voice comes out of this horn." "Horton!" "I have all the Whos gathered in town square." "Let them know you're there." "Gee." "It's a kind of high pressure situation then." "Wow." "I'm really run a blank here." "I know." "Horton?" "Horton, We're waiting." "Time to show everyone that you exist and... by extension, what a none boob I am." "Wait!" "Everyone look at the wind." "What do you think that means?" "It means, Um, it means..." "obviously, uh..." "Let the Kite Flying Race begins!" "What a shame on you Horton!" "Ha Ha Ha!" "Woo, brain freeze!" "Give Me Back" " My Speck!" " Not this time, guy." "I'm so sorry that I let you down, but... this... this is bigger than me." "Get the family together and get some where safe." "I will!" "I believe you." "I've got you now, elephant." "No No No!" "Oh, no." "Huk!" "Eung." "Yeah!" "Hahahahaha..." "AhHahahaha...." "Mayor?" "Anybody there?" "Anyone?" "But clover by clover by clover he found" "But the one, that he sought for, was just not around." "Mayor?" "Hello?" "And by noon, poor Horton, more dead and alive, had picked, searched,and piled up nine thousand and five." "Hello." "Sorry to bother you." "Nobody." "Knock knock." "Ha-ah, Ha-ah." "This is the way you take." "Who's there?" "If there were any Whos there," "You get it!" "Who's there." "I can't give up have them with you." "All day he looked." "Looked on and on." "Till his hope was almost gone." "No." "No." "No." "Please No!" "Ah~ This is unfair!" "But wait!" "Could this one be the one?" "Was all this searching finally done?" "Ah~ yes, for this was the hour" "Horton have found on the 3 millionth flower." "Mayor?" "Mayor!" "I found you!" "Mayor?" "Are you there?" "Mayor." "Mayor!" "Mayor, are you there?" "Mayor." "Mayor." "Mayor." "MA-E-Yor!" "Ah~t no." "This is Floyd." "Can I take a message?" "Mayor!" "You're Ou-Kei!" "Horton!" "Horton!" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "Sorry." "It must have been rough down there." "I can't believe I've found you." "You really have me worried." "Say." "The Mayor was right!" "Daddy, daddy, daddy" "O.K. I'm alright and so are you." "Citizens of Who-ville!" "I'd like you to meet our friend, Horton." "He's going to help us." "He-e-v-ham I've got this." "This is the chairman." "Idiot!" "You are finished in this town!" "Is that understood?" "Finished." "You BOOB!" "Huh-uh I'm just joking." "Good one." "Horton, this is my wife, Sally." "You exist!" "This means my husband isn't crazy." "Hooray!" "And... a few of my daughters." " Haley, Holy, Hooly, Hilder and Heddy." " Hi!" "And here is Miss Yelp, my loyal assistant." " And here's Dr. Larue." " You saved us." "And Bert from accounting." "And Mrs. McQuilligan." "And Mr. Farfoogan from the Cloogan Farfoogans." "And the oldman in the bathtub." "Let's not overwhelm the poor fella." "He's never gonna remember all these names." "Well, I'll try my best." "Sally." "Chairman." "Haley, Hooly, Holy, Hilder, Heddy." "Miss." "Yelp, Dr. Larue," "Bert from accounting, Mrs. McQuilligany," "Mr. Farfoogan of the Cloogan Farfoogans." "And wasn't there an old guy in a shower?" " Um, bathtub." " Oh, Yeah!" "We're all here, Horton." "And, We ALL believe in you." "Wow!" "That's awesome." "And it's reponsibility I do not take lightly." "I promise you a future that it's safe, sound, and stable." "We will create a world where every Who is endowed with three indelible rights, to be determined at a later date." "And we will put us back on Mount Nool before the end of this..ah.. decade." "Oh!" "This, this is the elephant in crazy." "Oh my goodness." "I could tell anyone, and it's to the kangaroo." "Wait till they find out." "Hoho, you should've been seeing me." "I really let the elephant have it." "I chased him, I tormented him." "I break him into million little elephant pieces." "It was thing of beauty, Really my best work." "Classic Vlad." " And the clover?" " Clover is finished." "No vain million years Horton find it." "Read my beak, Clover is gone forever." "I just saw Horton." "And he is still talking to that clover." "Idiot!" "Whoa, come on." "Hang you, Bro." "It's me you're talking to." "We have history." "Come on." "Let's don't forget I did this for Free." "What is happening to the jungle of Nool?" "There once was a time, when people were people." "And specks were specks." "All I say it you can't see it, hear it, or feel it, it doesn't exist." "Our way of life is under attack." "And who's leading that attack?" "Horton!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Wait a minute!" "This is Horton we're talking about, you all know him." "He wouldn't hurt a fly." "Except for that fly city he sat on." "He didn't do that on purpose." " Shut up, mouse." " Oh, Yeah." "That's weird." "I feel my brain is.. burning." "I got to go." "Are we going to let troublemakers like Horton poison the minds of our children?" "Not the children!" "When Horton tells our children about worlds beyond the jungle, he makes them question authority." "Which leads to defiance, which leads to anarchy!" "Yeah!" "Horton must pay!" "Eat that speck!" "We have to do something!" " For the children!" " For the children!" "Are we going to let him get away with this?" "No!" "Morton!" "I told you 100%!" "Horton." " Morton, pick up your feet, Gee." " It's not me." "Oh, Hoho." "I see." "It's an angry mob." "Sorry Morton." "I thought it's you who's making all the..." "But it's..." "Hold on." "Run, Horton!" "There he is!" "Let's rope him!" "Let's cage him!" "Stop!" "Hey, fellas." "Good to see ya." "All at once." "You're look really great as a horde." "Horton, Horton, Horton look at the mess you created for yourself." "All this hullabaloo over a silly little flower." "It's a speck." "Right." "I mean, it's silly really, all this talk of roping you and caging you and, well, we don't need to go into the details." "The point is, this angry mob of all a trouble you're in." "It can all go away." " Really?" " Of course." "All you have to do is admit to everyone that there are no little people living on that speck." "That you're wrong and I was right." "You do that, and things can go right back to the way they were." "But, if you don't," "You're going to have to pay the price." "So I just have to say it isn't true?" "Go ahead!" "Rope me!" "Cage me!" "Do whatever you want!" "But there are people on this speck." "And they have a Mayor." "Who has 96 daughters and one son name Jo-Jo," "Who all share a bathroom, whatever that is." "And even though you can't hear or see them at all," "Person's a person, no matter how small." "That was beautiful, Horton." "Rope him!" "Cage him!" "Burn that speck in a pot of boiling Beezle-Nut Oil!" "They don't believe we're here." "We've got to make some noise!" "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "Come on!" "Everybody!" "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "That's will teach you never make up stories about people on specks!" "Listen." "There they are!" " Rope him!" " Cage him!" "It's not working." "I can hear you." "But, their ears aren't strong enough." "We need to be louder." "Get every Who'd make noise!" "Everyone!" "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "We are here." "JoJo, where're you going?" "We need every voice, JoJo!" "You need to make some noise down there." "Or we all be destroyed." "The Mayor grabbed the tamtam starting to smack it." "And all over Whoville, They whooped up all racket." "They rung tin kettles, they beat on brass pans," "On garbage fill tops, and old cranberrry cans." "They blew all bazookas and brass big tubas, all clarinet, zuppas, Gebuppas and flutes." "There!" "Can they hear us now?" "Listen!" "Please!" "It's the most beautiful thing ever!" "I don't hear nothing!" "I don't think so." "But, keep trying." "And never give in!" "Are you sure that every who down in Who-ville is trying?" "Where's Jo-Jo?" "Probably at the old observatory." "Hey, there's a limit." "That's not supposed to stretch that far!" "Jo-Jo!" "You built this!" "We are here.We are here.We are here." "We are here.We are here.We are here." "You're making a mistake." "Mom!" "This doesn't concern you, sweetie." "Back in your pouch!" "Everybody, don't stop!" "Keep going!" "This gonna do it!" " Can they hear?" " No!" "No matter what happens, I couldn't ask for better, son" "Ah, hey, JoJo?" "Come on!" "Keep going!" "NO!" "We are here.We are here.We are here." "We are here.We are here.We are here." "No-oh-hoU." "We are here.We are here.We are here." "We are here.We are here.We are here." "NO!" "We are here.We are here.We are here." "We are here.We are here.We are here." "I hear it!" "I hear it!" "They are there!" "And that yelp." "That one small extra yelp pulled it over." "And all the Who noises burst out of the clover." " I hear it, too." " Me too, wide." "Rudy." "Give me that!" "Come Ru..." "Rudy, get back in the pouch, now." "No, Mom." "Uh, Wickershams, get that clover." "What the..." "E.." "Anybody take it from him." "You did it, Mayor." "You did it." "We did it!" "Yeah!" "Well done, son." "Alright, Mayor!" "Dad, you're one of the Greats." "Wow!" "Easy everyone." "Easy!" "Oh hi, Vlad." "Well, I shouldn't." "But," "Oh man, that is nice touch." "I'm a mess with this." "I am emotional." "Here come the water slide." "There's so many people to thank." "The good people of Nool, who put me in a cage and poked me with sticks." "That was me!" "My buddy Morton, for being the only who stood by me" "Well, not right by me he's hidden in the bushes," "Sending me good thoughts." "He's small." "Dude, you're a warrior poet." "And most of all, I'd like to thank the Mayor of Who-ville." " Who believed me from the beginning." " On, Horton." "We're going to miss you." "Hm-um, Gee" "What are we gonna do without you, Horton?" "Ah, don't worry." "I always be around." " And even as I wonder," " On~" "Keeping them in sight." "You're a candle in the window." " On a cool dark winter's night." " Beautiful metaphor." "And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might." "Uh, that's a little high for me." "Baby, I can't fight this feeling any more." "I've forgotten what I started fighting for." " And if I have to crawl upon the floor." " Crawl upon the floor." " Come crashing through your door." " Crashing through your door." "Baby I can't fight this feeling any more." "I can't fight this feeling any more." "And so all ended well for those Horton and Whos." "And for all in the jungle, even Kangaroos." "So let that be a lesson to one and to all" "A person's a person." "No matter how small."
