Horton Hears a Who!
Josh Flitter, who plays the boy kangaroo in "Horton Hears a Who!" spoke to SCI FI Wire about the upcoming CGI-animated feature. The film is expected to be released in March of next year by 20th Century Fox. Flitter said: "I'm finished with my part of it, and it's pretty great to be part of a classic like this. My character of Rudy was expanded quite a bit from the book and the TV show; he didn't even talk before. He's the little kangaroo in the pouch. They had to expand it out to make it a movie, of course, but it's a much bigger role. It will be very funny."
