Yummo Wickersham is voiced by Dan Fogler. Yummo is one of the main characters of the film, . Yummo is the leader and overall largest and oldest brother of the monkey tribe. He has two younger brothers name Nits Wickersham voiced by Marshall Efron and Nuts Wickersham voiced by Tim Nordquist.
== History ==
When Horton the Elephant claims that he has discovered the City of Whoville, peopled by tiny Whos, on a speck of clover, the other animals in the Jungle of Nool become disturbed and upset by this challenge to their reality. Sour Kangaroo, the self-appointed leader of the jungle, demands that Horton get rid of the clover and say that Whos do not exist. When Horton refuses, Sour Kangaroo orders the Wickersham Brothers to take the dander by force.
The Wickersham Brothers descend upon Horton, accusing him of "deep, dire, evil, political plot" to take over the jungle by "pretending to talk to Whos who are not". Horton tries to run, but they catch up to him, seize the clover, and run off. They give the clover to Sour Kangaroo's other henchman, Vlad Vladikoff, who prepares to destroy it while the Wickersham Brothers put Horton in a cage.
Horton implores the Whos to prove their existence by making as much noise as they can. A Who named JoJo respond with a shout of "Yop!". The animals of the jungle finally see that the Whos are real and release Horton with the dander, thus defeating Sour Kangaroo, Vlad, and the Wickersham Brothers.
== 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.
