Fan CastingHorton Hears A Who! (Live-Action)

In the Jungle of Nool on the fifteenth of May, a caring, imaginative teacher elephant named Horton, the jungle's nature teacher,pushes a whole tree, takes a dip in the pool. A dust speck floats past him in the air, and he hears a tiny yelp coming from it. Believing that an entire family of microscopic creatures are living on that speck, he places it on top of a pink, fuzzy clover that he holds in his trunk. In fact, he finds out the speck harbors the city of Who-ville and all its inhabitants, led by Mayor Ned McDodd. He has a loving wife, Sally, 96 daughters who all have names that start with the letter H, and one son named JoJo, who, by Who custom, is next in line for the mayoral position.
