Go See Horton!

The family and I capped off Easter weekend tonight with the movie Horton Hears a Who. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a great story and was packed with spiritual metaphors (although I tend to find spiritual metaphors in most movies). My favorite one was about faith. Horton, an elephant, hears a noise coming from a tiny speck of dust. As it turns out the speck is the village of Whoville, home to thousands of tiny Whos. Horton vows to save their town. Only no one will believe in him because as Kangroo confidently explains, "If you can't see it, hear it or feel it then it can't be real."

I'm glad to know that the movie is a good one. I was wondering if it'd be worth taking "all" the kids with Bill and I. Thanks for the recommendation!

Sorry Russ, I just saw the movie. You were right it's really, really good. Thanks for the tip. Anymore movies you recommend? I have the Blockbuster mail plan now. It's really cool! I'm getting ready to watch "SuperBad." I'll let you know any religious metaphors in that one too. - K
