Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat proved a critical and commercial disappointment for Universal back in 2003 -- so much so that Audrey Stone Geisel declared she'd never let Hollywood make a live-action adaptation of her late husband's work again. But now, emboldened by the box office dominance of its Dr. Seuss' The Lorax…

If last month's trailer for The Lorax seemed surprisingly cutesy and sweet for an urgent environmental fable, perhaps the new Australian trailer will balance it out. Where the last one really played up the colorful setting and playful tone, the new video offers a much better look at the destruction the greedy Once-ler (voiced by…

The pitch here is pretty simple: what if Dr. Seuss had created Star Wars? Thanks to characters like Yoda and Jabba the Hut, and the basic morality of the story, it actually works pretty well. Check out the work of cartoonist Adam Watson after the break. That's obviously the Seuss-style Jabba above, and a couple…

The trailer for the computer animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who premiered on selected prints of The Golden Compass and is now online. I love the look of this thing. Fox has perfectly captured the Seussian style without going off the deep end. And this is coming from a guy who hated…
