Yummo Wickersham, also known as Wickersham Yummo, is a large monkey from the 2008 Blue Sky Studios film Horton Hears A Who!, which is an adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book by the same name.
Personality[]
Yummo is the leader of the Wickershams, he is not only big, he's big-hearted and protective, and also hungry. The only thing that gets in front of his hijinks is his grumbling stomach. He can cram 25 or 30 bananas in his mouth, with his appetite making Yummo the largest and strongest of the monkeys. Yummo is best known for shooting bananas at Horton, but is loved for fitting several bananas in his mouth (apparently).
Like his younger brothers and all the other animals in the jungle, he refers to Sour Kangaroo as his boss and first sees Horton as crazy for protecting the clover with Whoville on it, accusing him of a "deep, dire, evil, political plot" to take over the jungle by "pretending to talk to Whos who are not". He’s willing to trap and attempt to keep Horton in a cage alongside his brothers when Sour Kangaroo and Vlad Vladikoff try to boil the clover with Whoville on it. However, when the Whos prove their existence by making themselves heard, he’s quick to defy Sour Kangaroo, likely having realised that the Whos who he thought were not, actually were.
