Positive Elements. Horton the movie holds hands with Horton the book in terms of one main theme: “Even though you can’t see them or hear them at all, a person’s a person, no matter how small!” Theodor Seuss Geisel penned this noble premise back in 1954, and the idea of caring for the tiny and powerless is even more meaningful today in the aftermath of Roe v.

Review by Andrew (Age 4) Rating: 5 stars out of 5: Rating: 5 stars out of 5: Review: (By mom on behalf of Damon and Andrew) Everyone knows the classic Dr. Seuss book Horton Hears a Who!
