a look at the adaptations of beloved
children’s author dr. Seuss born on
March 2nd 1904 Theodor Seuss Geisel grew
up in Springfield Massachusetts his
friends knew him as Ted but the world
came to know this American cartoonist
and writer of children’s books under his

dr. Seuss’s works are best known for
their bizarre characters unconventional
use of rhyme and imaginative
illustrations due to their incredible
popularity and timeless nature it was
just a matter of time before they were
translated to film sadly with the
exception of television specials this
would only happen years after dr. Seuss
death in 1991 starting a wave of film
adaptations in 2000 was How the Grinch
Stole Christmas I guess I could use a
little social interaction starring Jim
Carrey as the mean and cynical Grinch
the film follows the protagonist as he
tries to destroy Christmas for the town
of Whoville miraculously the live action
film set makeup and artwork stayed true
to the original 1957 book in 2003
another attempt to bring the charm of
dr. Seuss’s characters to the cinema was
attempted with The Cat in the Hat played
by Mike Myers the cat visits two board
kids named Sally and Conrad to help them
have fun however he causes a ton of
trouble in the process sadly this film
adaptations straight too far from the
original story and disappointed dr.
Seuss’s Widow and his fans honey it was
ruined when she bought it yeah despite
the fact that his widow vowed there
would never be another film adaptation
of her husband’s books the computer
animated feature
horton hears a who
the silver screen in 2008 that i toted
the water like this the film used
stylized and colorful CGI and faithfully
retold the tale of Horton who was an
elephant on a mission to protect a
microscopic community this film’s
success brought back hope that the charm
and success of dr. Seuss’s books could
be respectfully taken from their iconic
pages and properly translated to film as
a result dr. Seuss’s tale about the
plight of the environment called Lorax
speaks for the trees was given its own
film adaptation for 2012 release
