Awesome / Horton Hears a Who! (2008)

Go To


  • Horton chases Vlad for the clover. This is the ONLY time we really see Horton angry in chasing down the clover, his eyes bloodshot with determination, and it is awesome.
  • A villainous example, it's pretty impressive how the Kangaroo managed to manipulate Vlad into starting an ignorant mass-genocide without reward by simply playing with his inferiority complex. Vlad was not about to let a bunch of primates outclass him and the Kangaroo seemed to know this.
  • Horton is given a perfectly plausible way to get out of being roped and caged. All he has to do is say that the Whos aren't real. He gives it a moment thought, and this is his response.
    Horton: Go ahead. Rope me. Cage me! Do whatever you want, but THERE ARE people on this speck. And they have a mayor who has 96 daughters and 1 son named JoJo who all share a bathroom, whatever that is. And even though you can't hear or see them at all, a person's a person, no matter how small.
  • The Who's Crowd Song. Special mention goes to JoJo for showing off a cool Rube Goldberg Device.
  • Jojo getting everyone to hear the Whos by shouting, "YOPP!".
  • Rudy catching the clover in time, and then standing up to his mother afterwards.
    Sour Kangaroo: Rudy, get back in the pouch. Now!
    Rudy: (after a Beat) No, mom.
  • JoJo's creative and amazing inventions that produce all types of sounds.
  • The entire song sequence ending, but special mention goes to the Who showing off his beautiful voice at the end...
    Jojo: I can't fight this feeling any-MOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!
