As it turns out, the speck of dust is home to the Whos, who live in their city of Whoville. Horton agrees to help protect the Whos and their home, but this gives him nothing but torment from his neighbors, who refuse to believe that anything could survive on the speck. Still, Horton stands by the motto that, "After all, a person is a person, no matter how small."

Some day you'll be the one

wearing the Mayor crest.

You just...

You just need to...

You know what I mean?

O.K. Good chat!

I'm glad that we had this talk

That I'm continuing now by myself.

Good.

Oh! There. There are to become fit.

Nothing wrong with this Morton.

Nothing wrong with this.

Just you and me in the speck.

Shouldn't a breeze.

We're club. We're group.

We can take a vote on issues.

We can be a secret to society

- to control pirate's power in the world.

- Horton?

And no one else can join

Unless they wear funny hats.

Listen, Horton!

The chair reconize it's brother Morton.

I am really happy

you found this speck in all.

But you might wanna

think about keeping it to yourself.

Um, what, what?

Are you talking to what clover.

That doesn't look good.

You know what doesn't look good?

You, talking about the speck

like the speck isn't even there.

Speck never said nothing bad about you.

But hey!

Good luck with your illusional superiority.

You know the speck can think

anything you want about me you to speak.

Wow!

I see what's going on here.

Morton, no matter how tight

this speck and I get,

the speck could never replace you.

I'm only sad that I would have to

explain that at this point.

Well, that's awesome Horton.

That really helps.

Just try to keep this to yourself.

I'll see you later.

Try.

Hey, Horton?

What's you got in there?

What? Nothing.

We're not doing anything.

Who's we?

We? What we?

Did I say that?

I just... Oh, no.

I would never say that

because that would a play that

I was with someone and not alone.

O.K. There is a story

you can't talk to anybody

I mean it.

If anybody finds out about this,

it could be very very bad.

I'm not sure why.

We won't tell anyone.

And if we do, we'll tell them

not to tell anyone.

Perfect!

O.K.

I'm taking a bath, right.

Cause my skin gets kind a dry.

My roof asht

While Horton can clean about

the speck that he found

How he'd save this what at really drowned.

The Mayor set off

on his morning commute

and noticed things

not quite the same on his route.

But please don't blame Horton

for he didn't know

That a swamp pump a bub

I do it in the water like this

Was a big bub flew.

Hey, Joe! Don't work too hard!

Ah! These luxery condos

they have gone themselves.

Hey, you look at that.

I guess they do build themselves.

Oh~Kei, that happened.

Now the Mayor knew it was his job

to convey the unusual things

that he noticed that day.

There was one problem.

Though his will was strong

- You are late.

- Thank you Miss. Yelp.

Nothing in Whoville had ever gone wrong.

We have all happy be

with all the we've got.

We like it in here Whoville.

We like it a lot.

We're all very busy with

Who-Centennial's coming up. So,..

Let's break this meeting to order.

Mr. Mayor I presume you have

some good news for us.

Well, it's news. I don't know.

If we need to go label it good or bad

anything like that

The thing is I have noticed

some odd goings on in Whoville lately

Good on goings on?

Well, you know.

Tremors, clouds surly in the sky.

And it seems to me just be safe,

we might wanna consider...

Pospo nin th WhoCentenia?

Consider what?

Pospo nin th WhoCentenia?

What?!

Speak up, man!

Postponing the Who-centennial, alright?

We're about to celebrate 100 years

of Whoville happiness in harmony.

And you want to postpone the celebration?

Well, what if Whoville's not safe.

Nothing ever goes wrong in Whoville!

Never has and never will!

You bloodly boob!

Boob.

The Who-centennial will proceed as planned!

The Mayor was really being an idiot.

It will be all smile from now on.

Girl, I got 15,000 friends already.

What? What you mean it don't look like me?

That look just like me.

Ten years ago...

Wait a minute, hold on for a second.

Treats me like an idiot?

I'm not an idiot.

Do I look like an idiot?

- You don't want me to answer that.

- I'm not an idiot.

That's nerve call me a boob?

I would never call somebody a boob.

He is a boob.

Look at you, Yak.

Look at your face.

And I bet.

You don't look so good with this

staple on your head!

Wow!

Wa-ha-au!

I knew it.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

There's life on this speck.

The speck?

What speck?

Well, Am...

I don't exactly know

how to tell you this. But...

You're living on a speck.

Well, I ee hate to disagree with you.

Oh, voice from the drain pipe.

But, I live in Whoville.

Well, then the Whoville is a speck.

Right. O.K. Seriously.

Who is this?

Is this Bert from accounting?

No. This is Horton.

I'm an elephant.

O.K. Horton, fake name.

Where are you?

Well, from where you standing?

I guess I'm...

in the sky.

Compare to you I'm enormous

which is saying something

because I slim down quite a bit I swim.

Your whole world fits on

a flower in my world.

Oh, man, this is even inclusion for you Bert.

Don't believe me?

Watch what happen

when I put you in the shade

- This is absolutly impossi...

- Dark.

Light.

Dark.

Light.

- Dark, light, dark, light....Dark!

- Wow!

- Light!

- Uooo

Don't you see?

We're in the middle of some kind of

amazing cosmic convergence.

Two vastly different worlds.

Miraculously crossing path!

Mine colossal!

Yours mini to cure.

Yet, somehow we've marriage to make contact.

If you think about it,

it's pretty amazing.

Is everything O.K. down there?

Oh. I.. I don't know.

You tell me...

You're the one who hold the speck.

I'm the one who's holding the speck.

I'm not holding the speck.

Don't you worry, Mr. Mayor.

Am

Hold, please.

What at all this means?

The Mayor haven't the clue.

So he went to the office of Dr. Larue.

Brainest brain on the staff at Who use.

Dr. Larue!

Oh, this is crazy.

Oh, Mr. Mayor.

Ah, how may I be a assitance?

I don't know. Hey.

You know I just wondering

If our world will stay tiny speck

floating to space,

how would we know?

Oh, why would you ask something like that?

Oh, no reason, no reason at all.

I don't even remember.

Yes I do.

That you know what,

some guy was talking to me

not an elephant in the sky,

a guy on the ground

Ah, there would be several ramifications

Good ramifications?

A tiny speck.

Uh-huh, yeah, tiny speck.

Floating around...

Well, we'd have inexplicable tremors.

Dramatic changes in the weather.

And if we didn't eventually achieve

some sort of stability

our world would be destroyed

Destroyed!

Destroyed, oh destroyed.

No somehow.

Horton?

Ah, no. This is Danny.

Horton is busy right now.

You, I'm joking. That's me.

Ah, We're doomed.

Listen! Horton!

Turns out I need your help a little bit.

Apparently if that speck

keeps moving around,

our whole world

could be obliterated.

Ah-uh So,

I need you to find us Who's

safer more stable home and fast

No problem, Mr. Mayor.
