Horton the Elephant is bathing in the Jungle of Nool when he hears a voice speaking out of a speck of dust. Soon, Horton discovers that it’s the voice of the mayor of Whoville, a city on a dust speck with microscopic citizens. Horton catches the speck on a clover and promises to the mayor that he will protect the Whos. But when the clover gets stolen, Horton vows to get it back. He soon becomes sidetracked when the lazy Mayzie LaBird asks him to sit on her egg so she can have the day off. Mayzie never returns, so Horton is stuck with two tasks: rescuing the Whos and guarding the egg.
