Horton Hears a Who -- First Look at Smug Character


From Iwatchstuff, "With the impressive voice talents of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell just announced, already the first shot from Fox's CG animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who has turned up. I don't remember the book well enough to say which character this is (it's been nearly a week since reading), but I can say that with his thin build, well-groomed faux-hawk, popped collar and unnecessarily worn tie, he definitely owns the entire Cher catalog.

Most notable is how surprisingly faithful the design, even the background architecture and genital size, has remained to its source. Indeed, it's as if the entire world of Dr. Seuss has been brought from the two-dimensional page into the three-dimensional world, where we can finally realize just how fucked-up looking these freaks are. What is this thing anyways, some kind of dog man?"

That guy looks really good! If the character animation is up to snuff, this could be fun.

Man, have we really not yet seen CG Seuss? Freakin' live-action Grinch and Cat. Damn! I'm annoyed just thinking about it.
