Horton and The Unknown is a 2008 3D animated film directed by Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino, and voiced by Kim Carey and Steve Carell.
Tell the story of an elephant named Horton who one day found a speck of dust on a flower,
He heard someone talking above, and he decided that there were people living above, even many people.
To protect the men, the elephant embarked on a difficult trek, though he couldn't see it.
At the same time, there is a small town called Nameless on this dust,
Everyone in the town is extremely happy and carefree,
They don't believe in disasters in the future because there have never been disasters in the past.
Only the mayor believed that the crisis was looming, that someone could help them, though he could not see it.
It's an animation that exceeds expectations and looks as light-hearted and humorous as a Hollywood cartoon.
In addition, many people think that it satirizes the McKinsey doctrine of the 50s as much as the novel of the same name.
However, I think it's more like a science fiction movie.
Although there is no scene of science fiction films, it has the core of science fiction films.
A flower is a world, and a dust on a flower is a big world.
As Gao Xiaosong said in a conversation with Liu Cixin in "Xiao Shuo": "The milky way may be a hair strand, and the earth is a grain of dust on the hair." ”
The essence of science fiction is to use imagination to expand our lives, and use imagination to touch time and space that we cannot touch.
Horton used his imagination to touch time and space that were previously impossible to touch.
We may have all thought that there is a universe in every atom that can be infinitely subdivided.
