Horton Hears A ...Spoiler Alert!

Who.

Alternately titled:  Time To Up The Dosage.

I BAWLED at the end of Horton Hears A Who.  And not just because I'd eaten both of the packages of Skittles meant for the kids and some of that nuclear popcorn and felt distinctly queasy, nor was it because my legs were dead and I had snot trails all over my arms from wearing a 4 year old on my lap for the entire movie.

Theory 1:  This movie is about global warming.  I had no idea.  Did everyone else know this?  Just because you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, doesn't mean we shouldn't be working to save the planet for the little folks. 

Theory 2:  A  person's a person no matter how small.  A person's a person no matter how poor.  A person's a person no matter how black.  A person's a person no matter how sad.  A person's a person no matter how gay.  A person's a person no matter how sick.  A person's a person no matter how uneducated.  A person's a person no matter how different.  A person's a person no matter how wrong.

    I knew Horton was about tolerance and acceptance, but I had no idea it was about global warming. I thought that was the Lorax.
    Gosh. It's really simple, isn't it? I mean, folks make it so complicated and the answers are all right there, under our noses the whole time.
