horton hears a boo

With great animation comes great responsibility.....well i just saw horton hears a who made by blue sky studios ( one of my work wish-list studios :-)) and this is what i felt. Animation was brilliant and awe inspiring as usual, but with all the right animation well you might wonder if its a great movie, at least the kick ass trailers made it a hit.
I felt the characters not properly sketched out with voice talents, Jim carrey didnt do justice to a cute, sweet, courageous horton, the who-ville was cool but need more time on it. The 2d animated sequence was like where did that come from ( the edit was like way jarring).
Overall I am not a big fan of Dr Suess stories but blue sky did a commendable job in executing the story but the movie doesnt leave u all fuzzy and warm inside after u leave the theatre. Kinda disappointed (oh-well dont judge a film by its trailers).
