United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "A delight, brimming with colorful, elastic characters and bountiful wit." | POS |
United States | New York Post | "Frequently charming, beautifully drawn and far more faithful in spirit to the source material than those dreadful Ron Howard-Brian Grazer productions." | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "The tolerance and loopy poetry of the beloved book by Dr. Seuss have been nicely captured." | POS |
United States | LA Weekly | "Warm, playful and inventive, this tale of an elephant with a spirit as generous as his waistline comes juiced with the genially goofy animation of the folks who brought us 'Ice Age'" | POS |
United States | Philadelphia Inquirer | "For its intended audience, Horton's agenda is overt: Listen, be a friend, and most important - have fun!" | POS |
United States | Baltimore Sun | "Stays true to the spirit and characters of the book while embellishing it to overflowing." | POS |

United States | USA Today | "The look of the story is an undeniable treat, and the message it weaves is both funny and sweet. Horton Hears a Who! is razzle-dazzling and artful" | POS |
