Plot: This is a story of two worlds. One LARGE and one very very small. It all begins with a little speck of dust. When a cataclysmic event causes this speck of dust to become displaced, it is sent floating through the air. Horton the elephant is enjoying life in the Jungle of Nool when he notices the speck and hears what sounds like a tiny voice calling for help. Horton tries to show his neighbours... but no one else can hear it, and they don't believe him. Horton is convinced that there's a world living on that piece of dust, and it needs his help. We quickly learn that Horton is right. Living on the speck is a population of 'Who's' who live in Whoville. When Horton connects with the Mayor, the Who's soon learn that their entire world is vulnerable to destruction, and Horton is their only hope. Together, the Mayor and Horton need to work together to save Whoville.
