Horton the Elephant, or just Horton, is the titular main protagonist in two of Dr. Seuss' books, Horton Hatches the Egg & Horton Hears a Who, as well as in the 2008 computer-animated film, and the feature length play Seussical the Musical.
In the 1970 animated television special, along with Dr Hoovey, he was voiced by the late Hans Conried, who also voiced Lord Duke and served as a performance model for King Stefan in Sleeping Beauty, as well as the Grinch in another Dr Seuss special, Halloween is Grinch Night and Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit. In The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, he was voiced by John Kennedy. In the 2008 animated film based on the second book, he is voiced by Jim Carrey, who also portrayed Stanley Ipkiss in The Mask, The Grinch in How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Colonel Stars and Stripes in Kick-Ass 2, Lloyd Christmas in Dumb & Dumber and Tom Popper in Mr. Popper's Penguins. In the Japanese dub from the movie, he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.
Personality[]
Horton is an enormous elephant with a simple mind but a heart of gold. In both stories, he selflessly protects a thing that seems meaningless to other animals (an egg and a speck that contains a very small world) and is cruelly mocked. He pays no attention to them and gets rewarded in the end of his torments.
Horton is very innocent and daydreaming (even a bit nuts in the film), but also very fearless and compassionate. He is very forgiving as well, since he never holds hard feelings for the other animals despite all the harm they did to him.
Trivia[]
- This was Jim Carrey's second role in a Seuss-related media, the first being The Grinch. Both stories have the city of Whoville in them.
- He is the second Blue Sky Studios animal character to be a protagonist, after Manny from Ice Age.
