In the Horton Hears a Who film, the Whos are slightly more simian in appearance. They are furry, have short legs, long arms, a long pear-shaped torso, and a vaguely feline face. Their feet are toeless and pointed, and they have four fingers on each hand. Overall, they bear a resemblance to the Grinch's TV design. They also appear to be slightly elastic, as demonstrated by Mayor McDodd and his son JoJo. Their eye color tends to match the dominant color of their fur.
