Warner Bros.' upcoming 2028 animated musical adaptation of 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' is poised to change the trend of Dr. Seuss movies straying from the deeper meaning of their source material. Director Jon M. Chu's proven ability to handle complex adaptations, as seen in 'Crazy Rich Asians' and 'Wicked,' offers hope for a faithful and impactful interpretation of this beloved classic.
It’s hard to believe now, but years before 2000’s seminal holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas took the box office by storm, adaptations of Dr. Seuss stories on the big screen were nearly impossible to get off the ground. Sure, author Theodore Geisel himself oversaw the production of certain televised outings, but following the imaginative writer’s passing, his widow, Audrey Geisel, was staunchly protective with her late husband's work both before and after the Jim Carrey movie.

Following our unnamed protagonist, the book is a metaphor for life’s highs and lows. One of the reasons it resonates with young readers still to this day is how vast its themes are.
