Director: Jimmy Hayward, Steve Martino Starring: Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Seth Rogen Release date: March 14 Related Links: Movie site / Trailer Whereas film adaptations of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “The Cat in the Hat” failed to do the great Dr. Seuss justice, the animated take on “Horton Hears a Who” more than makes up for those films’ shortcomings. A fun film filled with heart, “Horton” stays true to Seuss’ work and is sure to delight audiences young and old alike. |
