Netflix has announced that they are developing five new animated series and specials inspired by several beloved Dr. Seuss books, including One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish; The Sneetches; Horton Hears A Who!; Wacky Wednesday and Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose.

The deal expands the partnership between Netflix and Dr. Seuss Enterprises following the success of the critically acclaimed animated series Green Eggs and Ham in 2019, which premieres its second season on April 8th.

Dustin Ferrer (Esme & Roy, Shimmer & Shine) will serve as showrunner across all five projects, and additional showrunners will be revealed soon.

The Sneetches is my favorite Dr. Seuss book, and I have read it to my kids so many times over the years, I can pretty much recite it from memory. I am excited to see it onscreen again. There was an animated version of it that was around when I was a kid, but I haven’t seen it in years. Hopefully this one will have some fun music to accompany it.

Will you be happy to see any of these Dr. Seuss titles get adapted at Netflix?
