Dr. Seuss created whimsical worlds with words in his stories. And in 2008 a very small world with very small persons was brought to life in a giant way. Horton Hears a Who was not the first Dr. Seuss project to be brought to the screen but it was the first CG Dr. Seuss story. In todays episode we take a deep dive into the elephant sized struggles the crew ran into when creating Whoville and The Jungle of Nool.
