THE END

My Opinion of the Movie

 I think this was an amazing movie the story behind it was so cute and also sad. I love the actors that voiced the characters did an amazing job. Honestly I cried in this movie and I'm not ashamed of it. Also I think the creators did a great job with creating the characters. I think Mavis is very pretty and they made all the monsters true to who they are, but still made it kid friendly.

My opinion of the Movie

I honestly think this is an awesome movie I love the characters and people that voice them. Horton is the most interesting elephant character that I know, just because its not how you think an elephant would act. The Who’s very interesting characters that Dr.Seuss made. There funny and all around just the most creative thing that I have ever seen. All in all this is an awesome movie.
