      Iirc, it’s a children’s book about an elephant named Horton discovering a civilization of tiny creatures living on a planet the size of a speck of dust and protecting it from other animals.

    As amusing as this is, unfortunately no.

    Cosmic horror needs both cosmic and horror.

    Neither of those two stories are written or generally interpreted as horror.
