Seussical: Difference between revisions

** Some think that the plight of the Who's, who are too small to represent themselves, is representative of a position on abortion (taking [[Word of God]] ('s wife) into account, this may be [[Misaimed Fandom]]), or of underrepresented labor workers. The idea itself could probably be fitted into any number of political agenda's, just as with the original [[Horton Hears a Who]].

** Actually, they're the Japanese. Theodore Geisel (ie Dr Seuss) used to be a politcial cartoonist for PM during the war and made some terribly racist cartoons towards the Japanese. After the war, he went to Japan, made friends with some locals and had some [[Creator Backlash]] towards his previous work and wrote ''[[Horton Hears a Who]]!''. It serves as an allegory of Hiroshima and the post-war occupation.
