Meh, anything has to be an improvement on the Mike Myers Cat in the Hat live actioner. Though the 2000 Jim Carey live action version of The Grinch is a classic, I still love and yearn to once again watch/hear the original animated version narrated by Boris Karloff. The Lorax film was a hot piece of mess all around, and that's only from the trailers.
As for new endeavors... I think Pontoffel Pock would make for an amusing version for its quasi-obscurity, and the refrain of the pickles song has always stuck in my mind.
