* [[Art Shift]]: Happens twice in the movie. The first time is a 2D animated sequence drawn completely in Seuss' distinctive style. The other is an [[Animesque]] action sequence/daydream.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Jojo in both the movie and ''Seussical''.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: '''Vlad Vladikoff'''. You know it's true.
* [[Bits of Me Keep Passing Out]]: In the movie, the Mayor is at the dentist when an earthquake (caused by the speck the Whos all inhabit moving) occurs, and the Novocaine needle ends up in his arm, which remains limp and useless for some time afterward.
* [[Brick Joke]]: {{spoiler|The other Vlad}} in the movie.
** And Burt from accounting makes an appearance.
Line 38 ⟶ 51:

Line 52 ⟶ 66:
* [[Narrator]]
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]/[[Hot Scientist]]: Dr Larue.

* [[Recursive Reality]]: Horton discovers a whole world in a tiny dust speck. The TV special of it has an ending in which the main Who finds another dust speck with its own world.
