Horton Hears A Who! Alvin And The Chipmunks Garfield 2 various 2007 DVD

Triple bill of family features. ‘Horton Hears a Who!’ (2008) is a big budget, CGI-animated update of the classic Dr Seuss parable. Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol Burnett and Seth Rogen are among the actors providing the voice talent. A jungle elephant named Horton (Carrey) discovers a race of tiny beings living in a solitary dandelion. Recognising the dangers they face, the friendly pachyderm resolves to keep his microscopic pals safe. However, as Horton is the only one who hears the inhabitants of ‘Whoville’, his other animal pals are convinced he’s gone crazy and resolve to do something about it. Horton and his miniscule friends must struggle against these impossible odds to prevent disaster. ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks’ (2007) is a live action, big screen outing for everyone’s favourite Chipmunks – Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Discovered and adopted by struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee), the dynamic trio decide to join forces and embark on a singing career, performing Dave’s songs. When success beckons, however, unscrupulous record company boss Ian Hawke (David Cross) decides that he could make a lot more money from the boys if Dave was out of the picture. ‘Garfield 2’ (2006) is a comedy sequel in which the laziest cat in America swaps places with the richest feline in England. Jon Arbuckle (Breckin Meyer) is on his way to London to propose to his veterinarian girlfriend, Liz Wilson (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and his unflappable cat, Garfield (voice of Bill Murray), is determined to be there when Jon pops the big question. Of course, Garfield wouldn’t go anywhere without his old pal Odie, and soon after arriving in the land of Big Ben, the clueless tomcat inadvertently changes places with royal look-alike Prince. It seems that Prince’s owner, Lady Eleanor, has recently passed away, leaving the care of her sprawling estate, Castle Carlyle, in the capable paws of her devoted kitty companion. The trouble is, Prince has decided it’s time for a vacation, and with Garfield in charge there’s no telling what kind of trouble will befall the stately home.
