Horton and the world of Whos

Ortone and the world of Chi

From the same makers of "L'era glaciale", arrives on the big screen on April 18th HORTONE AND THE WORLD OF WHOS. The protagonist of the new animated film from 20th Century Fox is the elephant, sensitive and altruistic, born fifty years ago from the pen of the writer and cartoonist Dr. Seuss .
The story begins with Horton who, having heard a cry for help from a speck of dust floating in the air, is targeted by his neighbors who think he is mad. In reality, Horton is truly determined to save the particle in danger and, supported by his philosophy "a person is always a person, no matter how small he is", he's not wrong. The speck of dust, in fact, houses the City of Whos I Don't Know, where the microscopic Chi and the Sinda-chi live, to whom the generous elephant will offer help and friendship. The goal is to find a new home for his tiny friends and Horton will put all his huge heart into this mission. Threatening the lives of the inhabitants of Chi non So is the surly Kangaroo, an iron-fisted tyrant of the jungle of Nool. Vlan, evil and enormous black eagle, will be her most faithful henchman.
Ortone and the world of ChiTo populate the film, made with the highly advanced CGI technique, there are many other likeable characters including Morton, a slightly neurotic mouse who represents the elephant's voice of reason and the Wickershams, a clan of monkeys symbol of the side obscure of human nature.
Entering first place in the stars and stripes top ten of the highest-grossing films of 2008, Horton and the Who's Who broke the US box office earning more than 86 million dollars in the first two weeks of programming. Now the animated film is preparing to conquer Italy and if in the American version the protagonists have the voices of Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, the Italian voice actors of Ortone and Sinda-who are none other than Christian De Sica and Paolo Conticini, while the kangaroo Kangaroo will be voiced by Veronica Pivetti.
Ortone and the world of ChiIf this is the first dubbing experience for Conticini, De Sica, the star of many successful films, will not fail to amaze us and make us laugh even in the role of this new fictional character. A veteran of the sector is also Veronica Pivetti, a very successful actress and voice actress, who has lent her voice in more than thirty titles including cartoons and animated films.
The film remains faithful to the spirit of Seuss's original work and reproposes, thanks to a careful study by the filmmakers, atmospheres and magic, bringing the characters to the screen according to the author's vision. The result is a comic event suitable for all audiences that will make you think with joy.

Curiosities about the film
- Ortone began his journey to the big screen in 2003 when the then president of 20th Century Fox Animation had plans to make an animated film based on the work of Seuss, one of the authors who most marked his childhood.
- Jim Carrey, voice actor of Horton in the American version, seems to have influenced the aspect of the elephant with his expressiveness, especially as regards the look.
- To give Ortone and the Mayor an extreme look and movements, the 'squash and stretch' technique was adopted, already used in traditional 2-D animation, but in this case taken to very high levels.

On May 15th, in the jungle of Nool, in the heat of the day and in the cool of the swimming pool, after having dived and while enjoying the magnificent joys of the jungleā€¦ Ortone the elephant hears a small noise.

With this evocative text, the writer and cartoonist Dr. Seuss, an American icon whose books have delighted several generations of very young people, begins one of his most beloved books, Horton and the world of who.
Now, fifty years after Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, published this beloved book, the makers of Ice Age and comedy giants Jim Carrey and Steve Carell (in the original version) bring it to life in absolutely new way. Indeed, for the first time ever, a film transports the audience into Dr. Seuss's incredible imagination through the most advanced form of CGI animation. Horton and the world of chi represents Seuss's work precisely in the way you want to see his work in the cinema and how it was conceived.
The film, like Seuss's book, shows a fanciful elephant named Ortone (in the Italian version, Christian De Sica) hearing a faint cry for help from a tiny speck of dust floating in the air. Although Ortone still does not know it, the speck of dust is home to the City of Chi I don't know, inhabited by the microscopic Chi and ruled by Sinda-chi (in the Italian version, Paolo Conticini). Despite being teased and threatened by his neighbors, who think he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to save the particle, because "a person is always a person, no matter how small".
Horton's effective explanation for his actions expresses a simple and profound idea, which holds great significance to many people. In fact, the film definitely stimulates reflection when Ortone explains to his skeptical friends: "if you were in space and looked at where you live, we too would look like a speck of dust".
And then there is the moral code of Ortone, with his motto that reads "an elephant is 100 percent faithful", which indicates his honesty and determination never to abandon his mission, which is to find a new home to the speck of dust that houses the incredible world of Who Don't Know.
These philosophical statements highlight Seuss's unique ability to take complex themes and turn them into understandable thoughts, which anyone, at any age, can understand.
It all comes from the vision of an excellent storyteller, from the magic of computer animation and from the special alchemy of three generations of comedy stars. Indeed, Carrey and Carell are joined by the legendary Carol Burnett, as well as the talents of Will Arnett, Isla Fisher, Amy Poehler, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, to create a comedic event suitable for all audiences.
