"Horton" centers on an imaginative elephant who hears a cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Suspecting that there might be life on that speck and despite a surrounding community that thinks he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to help.

The film version is based on the classic book, first published in 1954 by Ted Geisel, who wrote under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Seuss' books have sold more than 200 million copies, and have been translated into 15 languages.
