Oh, the Places You'll Go! (2028)

[Bubbles-11]

Animation veteran Jill Culton (Open Season, Abominable) has joined Jon M. Chu as directing partner of the Warner Bros Pictures Animation adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ classic Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Pic is a big priority for the studio, being done with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Bad Robot.

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, whose work includes The Greatest Showman, Spirited and La La Land, will write original songs for the film adaptation. Rob Lieber (Peter Rabbit) is writing the screenplay based on Dr. Seuss’ final book. The book is the blueprint for a globetrotting animated musical following a young adventurer as they journey through the joys and heartaches, and the peaks and valleys, of life.

Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams is producing along with Hannah Minghella, Bad Robot’s Head of Motion Pictures.

Culton is a 30-year veteran in the animated feature film space and is best known for both writing and directing Abominable (2019), a co-production with DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studios. She is a computer animation pioneer, spending a decade at Pixar working on their early classics – Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2 — and she has an “original story by” credit on Monsters, Inc. where she was the head of story development. She also designed Jessie, the cowgirl doll in the Toy Story franchise. She separately directed Sony Pictures’ first animated feature, Open Season, and was an executive producer on Open Season 2.

They can either get Lin-Manuel Miranda or they can get the Dear Evan Hansen hacks.

Tough decision, I know.

After seeing Green Eggs and Ham on Netflix I am more open to these.

Chu/Grande. The De Niro/Scorsese of our time. The Marc-Vallée/Witherspoon of our time. The Kurosawa/Mifune of our time.

They're being so coy

I love Ariana as a singer and an actress, so her spending her time on this project of all things is pretty disappointing lol

This book has been read at every single graduation ceremony (high school and college) that I've attended since 1990. And I've been to quite a few.
