* ActorInspiredElement: In the original script, Horton confuses Vlad with a good Vlad. It was Creator/JimCarrey's idea to have the good Vlad be a bunny that makes cookies and shows up in the ending.
* ChannelHop: Until Creator/WarnerBros obtained movie and TV rights to the Dr. Seuss books in 2018, this was the only film adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book not to be produced and distributed by Creator/{{Universal}}, instead being done by Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox.[[note]] At least in the USA. ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' is handled by Creator/{{Paramount}} internationally through their ownership of co-producer [=DreamWorks=]' pre-2010 live action catalog.[[/note]]
* CopiouslyCreditedCreator: The 1970 special had Creator/ChuckJones credited as a director, co-producer (with Seuss), voice actor (with Creator/JuneForay), and storyboarding (with Bob Ogle). Creator/DrSeuss himself has billing in the title for writing the book, plus co-producing with Jones (credited under his real name, Ted Geisel), lyrics, and teleplay for the adaptation.
* DescendedCreator: In the 1970 special, co-director Creator/ChuckJones as Junior Kangaroo, Vlad, [=JoJo=] and some additional roles.
* DevelopmentHell: Creator/BlueSkyStudios reported to have the rights to ''Horton Hatches The Egg'' years ago, but nothing came of it before Disney eventually shuttered it in 2021.
* HeAlsoDid: Charles Osgood, who narrated the film, was best known for being the second host of ''Series/CBSSundayMorning'' from 1994 to 2016.
* NamesTheSame: Morton is the name also give to Horton's bird elephant son from ''Hatches An Egg'' in some adaptations.
* TheOtherDarrin: The 1970 special is very inconsistent in voicing background characters. This is most notable in the [[GossipyHens "Mrs. Toucanella"]] number, where the birds seem to have different voices every line.
* StillbornFranchise: Plans for a sequel based on ''Literature/HortonHatchesTheEgg'' were made, but due to unknown reasons, the idea was scrapped before this film premiered.
* ThrowItIn: The script called for Ned to simply say "No" when his wife asks if he believes that there's a giant elephant in the sky. Creator/SteveCarell ad-libbed the elongated awkward laugh he makes beforehand.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Several things were left on the movie's cutting room floor.
** Sour Kangaroo was originally going to receive a fair punishment for her actions, but due to being against Dr. Seuss' wishes of peace and friendship, Kangaroo eventually makes a HeelFaceTurn instead.
** It was originally going to be made much more clear from the get-go that the Whoville city council had far more power than the mayor, as they outright threatened to remove him from office should he not keep up a happy face.
** Sour Kangaroo originally had a scene where she had the Wickersham Brothers burn Horton's house to further symbolically kick him out of the jungle, and the end of the film would feature them rebuilding it as penance. It was cut because it was believed to be a step too far by Sour Kangaroo if she was to later have a HeelFaceTurn.
** Only storyboards exist for a [[https://youtu.be/cKHApAhsbso?t=71 cut scene]] where a village of blue yaks was being destroyed by a red-eyed, bovid-caviid {{Kaiju}} trampling huts, spewing a swarm of insects out like fire, and grabbing the herd ''en mass'' in sharp claws to devour them by the dozens. SmashCut to Horton and the kids, horrified as they watch Katie [[ActingOutADaydream graze on a patch of clovers]].
** As noted below, the film originally had a BittersweetEnding with Horton bidding goodbye to Whoville forever as he returned the speck to its rightful place.
* WordOfGod: In the DVDCommentary, the directors wanted to avoid the BittersweetEnding of Horton leaving Whoville behind so they replaced it with the more upbeat scene where they sing at the end.
