...or rather, the actor playing the Grinch is. 
Anywho, as you may know, unlike the previous How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and Cat in the Hat, they've decidded to make the newest Seussian full-length movie, Horton Hears a Who! in animation. And according to IMDb.com, the voice of Horton is Jim Carrey, who played the Grinch.
As you guys may or may not know, I am obsessed with almost all things Seuss, so of course I've been looking forward to it. I don't what to think now- I've always loved Horton Hears A Who! (it's plot makes up a good deal of another of my major obsessions, Seussical) and am glad they're doing it animated, and I really liked Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, Grinch, and Series of Unfortunate Events.
On the other hand, maybe it's the two other players infleuncing my mind [Hans Conried for the Chuck Jones version and Kevin Chamberlin for the original Broadway cast for Seussical], but Jim Carrey would be my last choice for Horton. I hope he doesn't turn Horton into a clone of the Grinch. ^^"
The animation is done in CGI. Normally I wouldn't like this, but for this one, I'm kinda glad they're doing it in 3-D; if it had been in 2-D, it would look a lot like a copy of the Chuck Jones version. I like that the characters seemed to be kept on model too. ^_^
I wonder how they're going to make it stetch out. Of course, I'd be reeeeeaally excited if they adapted some of the Seussical elements to it (like Gertrude McFuzz as his love-interest, Mayzie and Cat in the Hat making cameos), but ah beggars can't be chosers eh?
What do you guys think of it?
