Horton Hears a Who!
Directed by Chuck Jones
Produced by The Cat in the Hat Productions, MGM Television
A whimsical, heartwarming animated fable about compassion and the courage to protect those others dismiss as insignificant.
In this story, Horton discovers there is a microscopic community of intelligent beings called the Who's living on a plant that only he can hear.
