Given that it's a story by Dr. Seuss (bless him) I expected nothing less.  First of all, looking at the IMDB page for this film, it boasts a variety of talented voice casts; Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Carol, Burnett, Seth Rogen, Isla Fisher, Jonah Hill and Jesse McCartney, among many others. I only remembered Jesse McCartney as Jojo haha (even though he only ever utters a word and sing a line towards the end of the film). Like all Dr. Seuss stories, this one carries a great deal of m...
