Horton Hears a Who! is a 1970 Animated Adaptation TV special that is based on the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. It was made by MGM Animation/Visual Arts, the studio responsible for the classic animated adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and carries over Chuck Jones as a co-director, who directed it with Ben Washam.Much like the original book, Horton finds a speck of dust he believes contains the town of Whoville living on it. When he befriends the mayor named Dr. H. Hoovey, Horton tries to convince the Jungle of Nool that this speck has people on it who need to be protected. This draws the ire of the Sour Kangaroo, who his convinced that Horton is delusional. Now she'll not stop until the speck is ridden of and destroyed, which Horton will do anything to prevent.Not to be confused with the 2008 animated film adaptation of the book. | |

Villain Song | |
| Horton Hears a Who! (1970) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: The Wickersham Brothers get perhaps the catchiest number. They also do some chanting when caging Horton and trying to boil the clover. | |

Recursive Reality: Horton discovers a whole world in a tiny dust speck. The special has an ending in which the main Who finds another dust speck with its own world. | |

Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification | |
| Horton Hears a Who! (1970) / int_5a852047 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification: Type 4. The only real difference from the book is that the mayor is downgraded to a science professor named Dr. H. Hoovey. and a subplot is added involving the townspeople ridiculing his claims about there being life beyond Whoville and being an outcast as a result. | |

When She Smiles | |
| Horton Hears a Who! (1970) / int_72c8b35c | comment |
When She Smiles: Similar to the Grinch in Jones' previous Seuss adaptation, when they realize the Whos are real, Jane and the Wickershams, who had only grimaced or smirked for most of the cartoon before, beam a happy and rather sincere smile. | |

I Warned You: Inverted. The Whos acknowledge themselves the massive destruction Whoville receives from being dropped from the sky by Vlad, that Dr. Hoovey had warned them that there was life beyond Whoville that could put their whole world at risk and they had not given his claims a speck (pun intended) of regard. | |

Gossipy Hens: Jane Kangaroo tasks a Mrs. Tessie Toucanella to spread word of Horton's "delusion" through Precinct 23 of the jungle. From there, the other birds begin to talk to each other for the first song of the special, progressively painting Horton as mentally unsound with each verse. | |

It Runs in the Family: As the jungle's birds gossip about how Horton has gone "schizo-witsa-fistic", they allege that it is a hereditary insanity, coming from a supposed cousin's uncle named Nate that believed himself to be the father-in-law of Catherine the Great. | |
