This animated Dr. Seuss feature is a little different, because it was animated by Hannah Barbera. However it tells the story very well. Horton is finagled into watching the egg of the lazy bird Maisie. Horton takes over the job, and sits and sits, 51 weeks "Because he said what he meant and meant what he said and an elephant's faithful 100 percent." He was faithful when his friends teased him, when the hunters approached and when they took him to the zoo. Maisie spends the weeks sunning herself in Palm Beach. Maisie shows up just before the egg hatches, and wants the egg back now the work is done. SO she takes it, but then it hatches; an elephant bird.
This is a cute show, and those who do the work should receive the rewards.
