A new CG animated feature film from 20th Century Fox Animation, the makers of the "Ice Age" films, based on the beloved book, first published in 1954, by Ted Geisel, who wrote under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Seuss books are among the defining works of family literature, have sold over 200 million copies, and have been translated into fifteen languages. The "Horton" series ("Horton Hears a Who," "Horton Hatches the Egg") are consistently among the top-selling of all Seuss titles - generation after generation. HORTON HEARS A WHO is about an imaginative elephant who hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Suspecting there may be life on that speck and despite a surrounding community which thinks he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to help.

Twentieth Century Fox and its animated event movie DR. SEUSS' HORTON HEARS A WHO! starring Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, challenged communities across the USA to raise their voices in one designated area and proclaim "We Are Here!" just as Who-ville's Whos do in the film's thrilling climax. They'll be listening for the loudest gatherings in each community.
