Dr Seuss' stories have already been adapted to animation twice, with Horton Hears a Who! (2008, by Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino at Blue Sky Studios) and The Lorax (2012, by Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda at Illumination Entertainment).

Animation are currently developing a show based on Green Eggs and Ham.
