Production cel of a bird
Doing the bidding of the cantankerous Jane Kangaroo, this 'black bottomed bird' is swooping in to grab the flower stolen from Horton. He would then drop the clover into a field of clovers in one of the saddest scenes of the film. However, all was not lost as Horton's determination would again reunite him with his lost friends.

a Who
a Who animation Production Cel
  Horton Hears a Who (1970)
Production cel of a Who
This Who is the ultimate in multitaskers. In order to save their civilization from absolute destruction all of the Whos needed to make noise, but this Who also had dishes to do so she just snapped her toes. Coming from the pivotal moment in the story where the Whos are headed for a big, boiling bowl of Beezle-nut Stew this production cel has a great significance to the film. This section was looped so it had very few original cels making this one all the more special.

Production cel of Horton

Having been burnt by Hollywood in the past, Dr Seuss was wary of having his books turned into films. That was until he met with Chuck Jones and knew his works were safe in the masters hands. This amazing cel of Horton's first interactions with the Whos proves that Seuss was right to trust Jones.

The amazing talented June Foray provided the voice of this pesky, Horton doubting kangaroo. Jane, and her little one, would prove to be a great problem for Horton, but even she could not doubt the elephant after hearing the Who. By the end of the film, these two Roo's are firm believers in the tiny Whos.
