Ariana Grande and Josh Gad to star in Warner Bros. animation’s ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Big news for animation lovers and Dr. Seuss fans - Oh, the Places You’ll Go!! Warner Bros. Animation has revealed that Ariana Grande and Josh Gad will be lending their voices to the upcoming animated adaptation of the iconic children's book Oh, the Places You’ll Go! And guess what? It’s not just any adaptation; this one’s headed to IMAX in 2028, with a top-tier creative team on board.

Originally published in 1990, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! was one of the final books written by Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. It’s a whimsical, inspiring tale that speaks directly to readers of all ages.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! isn’t just a children’s story. It’s a heartfelt message about the journey of life, filled with ups, downs, confusion, and triumph. Graduates have been receiving copies of it for decades. It's basically Seuss’s motivational letter to all of us.

Ariana and Gad's excitement for Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Ariana is known for her powerhouse vocals and acting chops. Now, she’s stepping into the animation world for a role that’s still under wraps. In a sweet post on Instagram, she simply wrote:

"🧚🏻 Oh, the Places You’ll Go ! 💭"

Simple? Yes. But we all know when Ariana says less, she’s planning something big.

Josh Gad, who’s no stranger to animated hits (hello, Olaf!), is equally thrilled. He shared a photo of himself in the recording studio holding his script binder over his face and captioned it:

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

He said further:

"Never been more excited to go places. We are dreaming up something very very special for you,"

He also added:

"Warner Brothers Animation has put together a truly all-star team. I’ve been dying to work with Ariana, Jon, Jill, JJ, Gregg Taylor, Bill Damaschke, and Pasek and Paul for ages [...] The wait was worth it. Still some time to go, but trust me… we’re off and away,"

The director of Crazy Rich Asians and the upcoming Wicked movie, Jon M. Chu, is taking the helm. With his flair for visuals and emotional storytelling, he’s a perfect fit for Oh, the Places You’ll Go!.

Warner Bros. Pictures Animation is producing this project alongside Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Bad Robot (yes, that’s J.J. Abrams’ company). When you have names like that attached, you know it's not just another cartoon.

Mark your calendars (and maybe set a reminder for five years from now) because Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is coming in March 2028.

Yes, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is not just a regular release; it’s going to IMAX. Expect sweeping visuals, stunning animations, and a cinematic journey like no other.
