"Dr. Seuss’s “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” Animated Movie Now In Production"​

"Oh, the Places You’ll Go! will be one of the next Dr. Seuss books to get an animated adaptation. Warner Bros. Pictures Animation has tapped Wicked director John M. Chu to bring the book to the big screen. The animated musical is set to be released on March 17, 2028.

Dr. Seuss’s children’s books are known for their whimsical use of rhyming verse, imaginative creatures, and vibrant landscapes. How The Grinch Stole Christmas! has had the most success in adaptations, from the original 1966 animated TV special to the live action Jim Carrey movie in 2000 to Illumination’s version in 2018, people can’t seem to get enough Grinch. Luckily, there is much more material to be mined from Dr. Seuss’ books and his wubbulous world. We were treated with Horton Hears a Who! in 2008 and The Lorax in 2012. We were also subjected to the horrendous live action Mike Myers version of The Cat in the Hat in 2003, which made it clear that animated musical movies are the way to go with Dr. Seuss adaptations."

Ah yes, the cliched high school graduation gift. Not sure how they'll expand this story to feature length, but then again they somehow got an entire series out of Green Eggs and Ham, so I'll remain optimistic for now.
