Ariana Grande, Josh Gad to Lead Dr. Seuss’ ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ Animated Movie

Ariana Grande and Josh Gad are set to begin quite a journey.

Warner Bros. Pictures Animation announced Tuesday that the pair will lead the voice cast for directors Jon M. Chu and Jill Culton’s forthcoming animated adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! The musical film is set for theatrical release in Imax on March 17, 2028.

Rob Lieber penned the script based on Dr. Seuss’ acclaimed children’s book. Hailing from Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Bad Robot, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is seen as a priority for the studio. Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are writing original songs for the project that counts Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Gregg Taylor as producers.

The film is set to center on a young adventurer navigating the ups and downs of life. It is based on Dr. Seuss’ last published book, which was released in 1990. The beloved author died the following year at age 87.

Chu is coming off the success of Universal’s Oscar-winning adaptation of Wicked, which stars Grande as Glinda. Wicked: For Good, the second film in the two-part release, hits theaters in November.

Grande is also set to appear in the next film in the Meet the Parents franchise alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. Gad’s future projects include producing and starring in Amazon’s Spaceballs 2.

Warner Bros. Pictures Animation has set animated feature The Cat in the Hat for release Feb. 27, 2026, with Bill Hader voicing the titular feline in the Dr. Seuss adaptation.

Grande is represented by CAA, Good World Management and Myman Greenspan. Gad is repped by CAA, Range Media Partners and Johnson Shapiro.
