In the early 1990s, producers Ben Myron & Roland Joffé, at Lightmotive with TriStar Pictures, were set to produce a film adaptation of the book with Seuss penning the screenplay.[1] The Seuss screenplay was later rewritten by Richard LaGravenese and Barry Berman respectively, but the adaptation was never filmed.[2]

A musical animated film adaptation of the book along with The Cat in the Hat and a spin-off Thing One and Thing Two are in development from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. J. J. Abrams is producing the film alongside his production company Bad Robot Productions.[3] In November 2021, Jon M. Chu was attached to direct the film.[4] In June 2024, it was announced that Jill Culton would co-direct the film alongside Chu. It was also announced that Benj Pasek and Justin Paul would write the songs, while Rob Lieber would write the script.[5]

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul will write original songs for the film.[5]
