The sad thing is that after Dr. Seuss's death, his projects have been the subject of many horrible beatings by Hollywood and Broadway.
2 Lousy Movies based on the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat were critical flops and sadly did pretty well at the box office. Looney Tunes Back in Action was a great film, and flopped against the Cat. They were both eye sores... though I did enjoy the Grinch a little bit. Not to mention Seussical the Musical, and an upcoming Grinch musical. If it's as lousy as Seussical was, that'll just sting.
Glad to hear it's CGI animated, tho.... as opposed to Live action. Hope it never gets made, tho....
