(The shortened intro)
NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. It's no secret that Dr. Seuss films have had a bit of a checkered past.
(Cut to a montage of clips of Dr. Seuss movies: The Cat in the Hat...)
Cat in the Hat: (holding up a garden hoe) Dirty hoe!
(...How the Grinch Stole Christmas...)
Grinch: (holding up some mistletoe) Kiss it, Whoville! (wiggling it over his butt) Boiiiiiiiiinggggg!
(...The Lorax)
Once-ler: (singing as he rocks out on a guitar amid piles of money everywhere) How bad can I be?
(Back to the NC)
NC: Pretty goddamn bad, apparently. But the one film that everyone agrees is goo... (hesitates a little) ...oooooooooo-least bad, is Horton Hears a Who.
(The film's title is shown, before showing the film's clips)
NC (vo): Starring Jim Carrey and Steve Carell...
NC: Because that worked so great before. (A poster for Bruce Almighty is shown)
NC (vo): ...the film was based on the hit book that led to an under-performing box office*. Over time, though, it's gotten a reputation as the closest thing to a good Dr. Seuss movie we ever got. Well, I'm here to ask, "Is it really?" I mean, granted, we all know Seuss needs more anime references, emo kids, and... (Katie, one of the kid characters, is shown) ...whatever the hell this is. But is it good enough to count as a decent movie, or is it just...uh...the least painful? Well, I think it's time to look over what was ironically overlooked a film about being overlooked. So let's look it over.
*Note: Contrary to what NC said, the film grossed over $297 million worldwide over a $85 million budget, making it a big hit.
NC: This is my review of Horton Hears a Who.
