...20th Century Fox's Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age, Robots), shows a pleasingly Hortonian faithfulness to the original story; and the process of fleshing it out Geisel's anapestic rhymes to feature-film length seems smart, sensible and organic. Narrated by Charles Osgood of CBS Sunday Morning, and making superior use of the voice talents of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett, Seth Rogen, Will Arnett and others, the movie proves a funny, elevating ride that should beguile the young and keep their parents or grandparents enthralled too.

"We told them, 'Here is an opportunity to create what you want,'" says Pacor. "You can't do that when you're struggling to make payroll...
...Wouldn't it be nice if time on the job and tickets punched translated neatly into superior performance? Then finding great Presidents would be a simple matter of weighing résumés. Take a Democrat like Bill Richardson - experienced in Congress, in the Cabinet, as a diplomat and governor - and have him run against Republican Tom Ridge, a former soldier, governor and Director of Homeland Security, with the winner chosen by a blue-ribbon commission of all-purpose elders.
