Jon M. Chu as director of the upcoming film adaptation of Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

Dr. Seuss Enterprises, a leading global children’s entertainment company, and Warner Animation Group, the animated film production arm of Warner Bros. Pictures, announced plans to bring on Jon M. Chu as director of the upcoming film adaptation of Oh, The Places You’ll Go! The film, set to debut in 2027, will bring the iconic story and characters of Dr. Seuss’ beloved book to life on the big screen. The film also marks Bad Robot’s first foray into feature animation with J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella producing。

In 2018, Warner Animation Group and Dr. Seuss Enterprises struck a deal to make new animated movies based on the stories of Theodor Seuss Geisel. “We are beyond thrilled to bring one of the most beloved Dr. Seuss books to life for so many generations of Seuss fans. The pairing of this classic title, with the creative excellence of Jon Chu and Bad Robot defines what we at WB try to achieve; marry great branded entertainment with singular creative talent,” Courtenay Valenti, president, production and development at Warner Bros. Pictures, said in a statement.

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” will be a globetrotting, animated musical following a young adventurer as they journey through the joys and heartaches, and the peaks and valleys, of life.

Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is part of the growing slate of animated projects that Warner Animation Group and Dr. Seuss Enterprises are developing, including a film adaption of The Cat in the Hat that will kick-off the new Dr. Seuss movie slate in 2024, with Erica Rivinoja (South Park, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2) and Art Hernandez (Planes, Planes: Fire and Rescue) on board as directors, and Thing One and Thing Two (working title) an original feature length animated adventure.
