An eccentric elephant hears a voice coming from a speck and believes it contains a hidden world. He communicates with the mayor who confirms his suspicions. However, no one else in Horton's jungle can hear the voices, leading to conflict with an authortarian kangaroo. She conspires with a vulture to get rid of the speck, which Horton keeps on a clover, by stealing it and then dropping it into an immense field of clovers. Horton is not deterred and after picking exactly 3 million clovers finds the speck. The kangaroo then resorts to her monkey friends and tries to destroy the speck in a vat of boiling oil, but the inhabitants make enough noise to be heard at the last possible second. Lackluster remake of the much shorter, and much better, 1970 TV special based on the book by Dr. Seuss.
