Do you know Katie?
That uber-cute yellow furball in the movie Horton Hears a Who?
“In my world, everyone’s a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies” :)
Seriously, that has got to be the most epic one liner in the history of cartoons. And Katie has got to be the most adorable creature! Katie katie katieeee! <3
So I’ve been looking around for a Katie plush/stuffed toy, and I can’t find her anywhere. Also, she’s not in the official Horton Hears a Who movie website (how dare you people!) — not a single appearance or character profile, not a single free wallpaper or high-res image.
I don’t get it. Apparently, a lot of people don’t get it either. (Go ahead, google it up.) As I was googling to find more Katie stuff online, I came across forums and blogs and Yahoo! pages posted by people doing the same thing — finding Katie — to their (our) disappointment.
Katie is probably the most adorable thing that happened in Horton Hears a Who, no matter how short her appearances were. Sure, Horton (the elephant) is cute in his own way, but the creators of this movie probably didn’t anticipate that they created a minor character (an “extra”) that people would love more. Everytime she comes up on screen, you just won’t be able to hold your smile. She’s so cute I swear I’d squish her if I could. (Confession: I recently emailed a toy manufacturing company and told them to create plushed Katies. I am still waiting for a reply. Heh.)
They really should make Katie her own movie.
Truth be told, I never would have watched Horton Hears a Who if I didn’t see Katie’s youtube video (thanks to Rico!), and I’d have to admit.. I was kindof disappointed not having seen her in the movie as much as I thought I would. Even more disappointed when I couldn’t find her anywhere in the official site! I can’t even find her in Amazon! Blpht!! Youtube is the only place that gives justice to Katie’s existence, go check it out.
So I’m putting this page up, for Katie (heee!), and for everyone who, like me, is searching the world for her too. :)
More Katie stuff after the jump.
Edit. This just in. Someone’s hand sewing Katie plush toys and selling them at ebay! ;)
Horton Hears A Who – Katie Plush. Measures around 25cm tall, she is cute, yellow soft shagg fur with hand embroided eyes and face feature.
I am sure most of you out there who seek for Katie plush know that there won’t be any Katie plush produced by manufacturer. I was on the same boat and I made one for myself and have had few request to make others one. So for all the Katie crazy fan out there grab this while you could!
This Katie is a one of the Katie I made. She will be hand sewed and all the features will be embroided on.
ATTENTION: The plush will ONLY be made after the transaction is finalised, it take around 1 week to complete.
It’s not exactly like the real thing, but it’s the closest to a Katie stuff toy around. Too bad the bidding is over. :-s
