Hohohoho~, busy guy.

Then we all share one bathroom.

You know that is?

Ya. Don't I know it.

Bathroom.

Nedd?

- What?

- Sweetheart. You know you're on the roof, right?

What's have to know is you need to go to bed.

Daddy's having a break down.

Nedd? What are you up to now?

I was just about put the kids bed,

when I got off the roof.

And I that's the that's what happened right.

- Daddy?

- Yes?

- Can I have a glass of water?

- Of course.

- Me too, me three, me four...

- O.K.

Hey, JoJo! Wow.

I don't like what glratle liquid

just the person I wanted to see.

Yeah. I've realize that we have

not been seeing eye to eye lately

and most of it is my fault.

It's true.

You know what I've been trying to do?

I have been trying to impose

my vision of your future on you.

What me make this perfectly clear

JoJo, you can be

whatever kind of Mayor you wanna be.

Hands on, strong and silent,

outspoken, it's up to you.

Well, good

I hear so much better.

I am expecting big things

from you youngman. Make things.

Alright. Good night.

Good stop! Good talk.

Then, JoJo snuck out feeling lonely and sad

and tragedy of misunderstood by his dad.

And where was he going

in such a lay down?

Up to Whoville's abandoned star study tower.

A place with boy felt contented free.

A place he could be what wanted to be.

And what was inside there

I'd say if I could.

But above of the Kangaroo was up to no good.

Can I come out now, Mom?

No, Rudy. Stay in the room.

- But, Mom?

- Stay inside.

Mr. Vlad-I-Koff?

Eating, go.

Yes. I Irealize you're busy.

But I need your help.

It's Horton.

He's become obsess with a colver

And he get actually thinks

there are little people on it.

I want that colver destroyed.

Sure, what a big deal this is.

For you, bro.

I'd do it myself.

But being a lady

I prefer not to get my hands dirty.

But I hear you have no problem with there.

No.

No problem.

Easy busy.

But...

I will only do this for a price.

In exchange for a friend who pay up...

No.

- This

- Yes.

- little kangaroo.

- Mom?!

Quiet, Rudy.

Momy is thinking it over.

We'll thanks but, on second thought

I think I'm going to have the Wickersham Brothers

take care of this for me.

Yeah, of course, Wickersham

I mean they're quasy operation.

You know, they'd... Wait! No!

You can't go over Wickersham.

No No. No no no.

Wickershams would be perfect for this job.

But, they are monkeys.

He's not scary.

Ah, thanks anyway.

Maybe next time.

Wait!

Here is what I will do

the precious clover.

I will take it.

I will crush it.

And I will devour it.

Bigger than it looked. One second.

Oly moly.

Then I will regurgitate it.

Then...

I mean I devour it second time.

So two times devour.

Sounds nice.

But I think I'll talk to the Wickershams.

Wait.

Here is best part.

I do all

Gracious.

That's free bro.

What do you think?

- Deal.

- Yes. Score. Thanking you.

You won't regret.

Mayor?

Mayor?

Open up, Mr. Mayor!

Mr. Mayor!

It's snowing in the summer!

Yes.

Yes, it is.

It's a dramatic change in the weather.

As if we're on a speck floating to space.

I don't know how you knew.

But, somehow you did.

And Whoville is headed for disaster.

- Oh, Horton.

- What?

Ah, nothing. I'm on it.

It's up to us to save the people of Whoville.

Snow is not lucky.

That's not... Stop.

O.K. Anybody else?

Good.

No no. Don't join it.

This is not fun.

Uh, this is sign of doomed.

Oh, sweety, that's.

No. No no no.

They took. they took.

Stop having fun immediately!

This is dangerous.

O.K.

Horton?

Uh? What?

Hey, there.

We're in big trouble down here.

It's happening.

It's snowing in the middle of summer.

It's end of the world!

Hold on here.

I think I know what your problem is.

There, get better?

That seems you have worked.

Eh-uh. Do I smell peanuts?

Yes, they are my favorite snack.

But they tender linger.

Ohho! K-Uh. Debrick, No.

Oh-O. Hang on Mr. Mayor.

I may have to put up a flight.

Frightened elephant can be very dangerous.

Alright!

You come down the under, buddy.

You hungry for trouble?

I don't know how you can easy self by.

Take a fight.

I hate running.

Morton!

- Don't do that!

- Horton!

Horton? Don't...

There you are.

We got trouble. Wait. Stay. Wait.

Can you hear that?

No I'm here. O.K. Listen.

No, go.

Kangaroo has gone nuts, bananas.

She's telling everyone that

you should be kicked out of Nool.

She said that?

I thought we're friends.

Where is she'e gone to Vlad's.

Vlad. Vlad.

I know two Vlads.

Is it the bad Vlad or the bunny Vlad

that makes the Cookies?

Yeah, Horton.

She's sending you a bunny with cookies.

I think we can assume it's not bad Vlad.

Yeah, that's good call.

So, unless you're cool

with giant razor sharp claws,

There be not fights up your body,

If I give her the clover.

I can't.

I promised the Mayor.

I meant what I said.

I said what what I meant.

And an elephant's faiths were 100%.

Please, for me, just this once,

be faithful 99% of the time.

I've never gone 99% on anything.

I think I'm awesome.

So come on.

I meant to what I said

and I said what I meant.

I'm gonna say it.

You can that all days it's not happen then.

- An elephant's faithful 100%.

- That's right.

That's my code. My motto.

But thanks for the worning.

Motto. O.K.

But watch the skies.

Keep watching the skies.

Mayor, you need to get

everyone on the ground, now.

- Two, Three, four...

- I wanna sound the alarm.

There's a good possibility we maybe attacked

by a giant cannibalous bird.

Waht?

There's small chance

it could be bunny with cookies.

But, I wouldn't count on it.

- Oh, they are formidable words.

- Ya

Are you there?

Ya, no. That's a great idea.

It just...

in order to get everyone mobilized

I need the O.K. of the city council.

And they never listen to me.

I've been called boob.

Several times.

- I can't do it.

- You have to talk to them, Mayor.

O.K. Listen.

Bad Vlad.

Bad Vlad.

Bad Vlad!

That is definitely not a bunny.

Lost him.

Mean to lose him.

And I lost him.

This tree for real, come on!

Hang on, Whoville!

This is gonna get rough!

Now you're going to dead-end.

Get ready for the best.

Leave me alone!

No! Hold on!

I just know he's gonna

jump out somewhere.

- Hello?

- Ah-Ak!!

Chess mate.

Now it's time for me to take clover

and crush all the little people on a two sang...

Sorry.

This is where we get off.

Ah, right in the beak!

Ah. Cool line.

Usually I can I think

those things to later.

- Mayor?

- Ah, Horton.

Are you O.K.?

Ah.

Well, more or less.

- What happened? The bird?

- Ya, it attacked me.

Mayor, your people are in danger.

You know what, I'm gonna do it.

I'm going to go out there.

And tell them what is going on.

Perfect.

Now quick. Get go on.

Hey, Mr. Mayor! Something's wrong!

My basement is in the attic.

The science museum is history.

- We're lost thousand in this messy.

- What's going on Mr. Mayor?

I'm declaring a state of emergency.

Don't worry. Don't worry.
