At the same time, Horton the elephant (Jim Carrey), the jungle's eccentric nature teacher, takes a dip in the pool. The dust speck floats past him in the air, and he hears a tiny yelp coming from it. Believing that an entire society of microscopic creatures are living on that speck, he places it atop a clover. Horton finds out the speck harbors the city of Whoville and its inhabitants, the Whos, led by Mayor Ned McDodd (Steve Carell). He has a wife, Sally (Amy Poehler), 96 daughters (whose names all begin with the letter H), and one teenage son named JoJo (Jesse McCartney). Despite being the oldest and next in line for the mayoral position, JoJo doesn't want to be mayor, and because he's so scared of disappointing his father, never speaks. Once Horton begins carrying the speck with him, the city starts experiencing strange phenomena (earthquakes and changes in the weather), and the Mayor finds his attempts to caution Whoville challenged by the Town Council, led by the opportunistic yet condescending Chairman (Dan Fogler).

Félicité s'occupe également de son jeune neveu tous les dimanches, elle l'affectionne et celui-ci le lui rend bien et a un perroquet rouge prénommé Loulou. Mais M Aubain est très froide et hautaine et malgré l'affection que sa fille, Clémence, porte à Félicité (celle-ci remplace en effet sa mère maladroite et qui ne sait pas montrer d'émotion), M Aubain ne cache pas son mépris pour le « cœur simple » qu'est Félicité. M Aubain a ensuite une liaison qui n'aboutit pas avec son professeur de musique et elle se rend compte qu'elle est seule. Pendant ce temps, les enfants grandissent. Le neveu de Félicité s'engage dans la marine et meurt peu de temps après du typhus laissant sa tante terrassée. Cette mort sera vite suivie par celle, prématurée, de Clémence. Trop tard, M Aubain réalise l'ampleur de son amour pour sa fille, et culpabilise de ne pas l'avoir emmenée se soigner dans le sud où le climat lui aurait été bénéfique. Elle accorde finalement à Félicité, terrassée par ces deux morts consécutives, l'honneur d'être la seule à pouvoir veiller sa fille. M Aubain elle-même ne se remettra jamais de cette mort, se droguant au Laudanum. Alors qu'elle manque de s'évanouir au pied de la tombe de sa fille, Félicité la prend dans ses bras et toutes deux s'embrassent, dans un grand déchirement. Cette servante un peu simplette mais au grand cœur réussit finalement à gagner l'amitié de M Aubain et à faire fondre sa dureté. C'est dans cette amitié que les deux femmes vieillissent, ensemble, dans la simplicité et l'humilité. Malheureusement, M Aubaine meurt à son tour et le perroquet de Félicité aussi. La servante le fait donc empailler avant de sombrer dans la folie et mourir à son tour, seule.

Samuel L. Jackson narrates the story about a group of male penguins that make a 70-mile trek to go to their breeding grounds where females are waiting to have sex with them. These penguins include Carl (Bob Saget) and Jimmy (Lewis Black), two friends who talk about relationships and other things as they meet new characters including Marcus (Tracy Morgan), a penguin who likes to kid around and brag about his huge penis (an illogical point, since penguins do not have penises and instead have cloacas), and Steve the snowy owl (Jonathan Katz), who gives Carl advice on his life in a Freudian kind of way while billing him for the two quick sessions. Meanwhile, Melissa (Christina Applegate) and Vicky (Mo'Nique) argue about men and other women who bother them as they wait for their mates to arrive at the breeding grounds.
