Even though Horton Hears a Who is a cartoon presented to viewers of a younger age, it still has a very good story line and very valuable lessons. There is a saying that says if you can not hear, feel or see something that it does not exist. This is not true. This movie proves this because even though the animals in the jungle could not see the Whos, they were still there. This movie taught that it takes faith to believe in things that we may not be able to see, hear, or feel. Another lesson that this movie tries to teach kids is learning to accept other people and their differences. The saying in the film " A person is a person, no matter how small" tries to say that even though a person is different or small than you, they still deserve respect. Everyone deserves acceptance and compassion, no matter how different they are. This film had a lesson about team work. The Whos worked together to make themselves known because that was the only way. This teaches that sometimes things can not happen unless you work together as a team. This film also teaches forgiveness. Although Horton was put through hell and back by Jane the kangaroo, he still forgave her. Practicing forgiveness is the only way it will happen more often. It is a give and take world. Something else I learned about the film is that is shows that caring for others will help make you feel better about yourself at the end of the day. If you are so caught up about caring for only yourself, you can never see the happiness that you can bring to other people's lives by helping them.
