Brought Amirul & Amira to catch the sneak of "Horton Hears a Who".

A very entertaining movie although I must say not the same league as our all-time favourite 'Toy-Story' & 'Ratatouille', But still an enjoyable watch...

We tried a new halal eatery called 'Griller' on the 3rd Level of Tiong Bahru Plaza just opposite the cineplex. The western spread was not too bad. We tried the Portuguese Beef Stew, Countryside Chicken with the special BBQ sauce & Spaghetti for the kids. I love the pop-art deco & ambience, will definitely make it one of our alternative 'makan' joint whenever we are tired of our good-ol Swensens.

Here's a little info about the movie, go watch it, the kids will enjoy....

"It a story of Horton the Elephant who, on the fifteenth of May in the Jungle of Nool, hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called "Who-ville", inhabited by microscopic-sized inhabitants known as Whos.

The Whos ask Horton (who, though he cannot see them, is able to hear them quite well) to protect them from harm, to which Horton happily obliges, proclaiming throughout the movie that "a person's a person, no matter how small". In doing so he is ridiculed and forced into a cage by the other animals in the jungle for believing in something that they are unable to see or hear. His chief tormentors are Vlad Vladikoff, the Wickersham Brothers and the Sour Kangaroo, and the small kangaroo in her pouch. Horton tells the Whos that they needed to make themselves heard to the other animals, lest they end up as part of "beezlenut stew", which they finally accomplish. The Whos finally make themselves heard by ensuring that all members of their society play their part. In the end it is the smallest Who of all, Jo-Jo, who provides the last volume lift to be heard, thus reinforcing the moral of "a person's a person no matter how small".
