This is a must see for anyone with kids or anyone who enjoys a well made movie.  Most of us already know the story line but for those who don&#8217;t Horton is an Elephant who finds a spec that he thinks (correctly) has people on it.  Sorry if that spoils anything&#8230;  His quest to protect and save them is the focus of the movie.  There are so many great lessons that this movie reinforces I&#8217;m not sure where to start.  Friendship, loyal friendship, respect, commitment, standing up for those who can&#8217;t stand up for themselves, sacrifice, make that personal sacrifice, believing in yourself, and facing fear.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly suggest you see this movie and then use it when instructing a kids Martial Arts class, <em>What would Horton do<\/em>?  Parents and Instructors can use this great film to help illustrate the complex concepts listed.  There is even a great scene where Horton imagines he is a Karate Chopping hero, very cool.<\/p>\n<p>For the big kids the animation and cinematography were stellar, if you are into the sort of thing. \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0375841946?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=willingtonkar-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0375841946\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/karatetraining.org\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/31ohlx5ugfl_aa_sl160_.jpg\" alt=\"Horton Hears a Who!\" style=\"padding: 10px\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=willingtonkar-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0375841946\" style=\"border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took the kids to see Horton Hears a Who! this weekend and let me tell you I enjoyed the Movie as much as the kids did, more even!!
