Again, this is a great film for all ages. After he is somewhat shunned by his friends and society, Horton sets off on the misadventure of his lifetime to relocate the speck to a safe location so that the citizens of Whoville can live in peace once more. Likewise, no one believes Horton when he claims that a race of people are living on the diminutive speck. Like Horton, he has a somewhat bizarre personality, so no one believes him when he claims that the world is going to end. The Major of Whoville (voice of Steve Carell) is the first person to come into contact with Horton after he hears his voice in a drainpipe. Horton the kindly elephant has his work cut out saving the tiny Whos who live on a speck of dust - no one else believes. ![]() ![]() The Whos are intelligent little creatures who are strange in appearance. Though microscopic, the world known as Whoville is a land of technological achievement. "Horton" tells the story of an eccentric elephant named Horton (voice of Jim Carrey) who stumbles upon a floating speck that is actually an infinitesimal world that is home to thousands of tiny little creatures called Whos.

(written in 1941), mentions the First Law and hints (again) at the Second Law: In his next robot story, Reason (written in 1940), a character says, “Those robots are guaranteed to be subordinate.” According to Asimov, “That was a hint of the Second Law” (“The Word I Invented,” The Magazine of F&SF, October 1980). He’s a machine- made so.” Asimov later called this “the first germ of the First Law of Robotics.” (“Robots and Androids,” The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, 1977). Asimov thought of robots as “industrial products built with safety features” (The Complete Robot, 1982), and so he had a character say: “He just can’t help being faithful and loving and kind. It started with Robbie, aka Strange Playfellow, Asimov's first robot story, which he wrote in 1939. ![]() |
