Horton the Elephant tries to protect a microscopic community from his non believing neighbours.

Horton the kindly elephant (voiced by Jim Carrey) has his life turned upside down when he thinks that he hears a voice coming from a speck of dust that no-one else can see. The voice in question belongs to the Whos, a tiny breed of people with their own society, led by the Mayor of Whoville (Steve Carell). Horton takes it upon himself to protect the Whos and their home, but this causes him nothing but problems as none of his neighbours can actually see the little folk, and so they don't believe that they exist - and the Mayor has a similar problem convincing the Whos of the existence of a giant altruistic elephant. Soon, everyone is asking if Horton has lost the plot? Will he give in to the ridicule, or will he stand by his motto, that "a person is a person, no matter how small"?
