This just in from 20th Century Fox (makers of “Horton Hears a Who”).
“WHO-VILLES” ACROSS THE USA PREPARE FOR HORTON HEARS YOU HOMETOWN CHALLENGE
Communities nationwide ready to raise their voices and proclaim, “We are Here!”
WHO: Prospective “Who-Villes” across the USA.
WHAT: Twentieth Century Fox and its animated event movie DR. SEUSS’ HORTON HEARS A WHO! starring Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and Carol Burnett, challenged communities across the USA to raise their voices in one designated area and proclaim “We Are Here!” — just as Who-ville’s Whos do in the film’s thrilling climax. They’ll be listening for the loudest gatherings in each community.
WHERE: Communities across the USA that will become, for one day, “Who-villes, USA.” The loudest “Who-ville” will win a special hometown screening of DR. SEUSS’ HORTON HEARS A WHO!
WHEN:
- March 8 & 9: “We Are Here!”/ “DR. SEUSS’ HORTON HEARS A WHO! event takes place. Decibel levels will be measured by special sound meters at each city’s gathering.
- March 12: Winner announced in USA TODAY and online at www.hortonmovie.com/hometownchallenge
- March 13: Special screening in winning community.
WHY: A “who’s who” of comedy, led by Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, bring to life DR. SEUSS’ beloved HORTON HEARS A WHO! An imaginative elephant named Horton (Carrey) hears a faint cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Although Horton doesn’t know it yet, that speck houses an entire city named Who-ville, inhabited by the microscopic Whos, led by the Mayor (Carell). Despite being ridiculed and threatened by his neighbors who think he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to save the particle…because “a person’s a person no matter how small.”

It will be interesting to see how this contest works out. Personally, I can’t see that many people wanting to participate, but you never know. I’m sure there will be some interested young Dr. Seus fans, not that I don’t like his books myself. My favorite is Ohh the Places You’ll Go.
