Synopsis

I know, it’s weird. But let me explain it. Shortly before Dr. Seuss died, he gave a script to Ben Myron and Ronald Joffé, who were chosen to produce a nearly animated musical adaptation of Suess’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go, his last book about life, for TriStar Pictures. After Suess died, rewrites were written by Richard LaGravenese and Barry Berman, however, the script was ultimately cancelled. Suess’ script told the story of a live-action child (Known here as “Our Boy”) who doesn’t want to be born, given an animated tour through life’s ups and downs by the Cat in the Hat and many other of Suess’ iconic characters.

    • tuenguyen @mr_blue_sky Well, I was able to add another draft by Tommy Swerdlow & Michael Goldberg, possibly written in the mid-90s. I read that one and it was very absolute Seussian in vibe & tone. But I'm still on the journey for the Seuss draft that Barry has it in his archives and will send it to me soon...

    • tuenguyen @mr_blue_sky That would be the Jim & Peggy George & Bob Seeley draft. That I tried, but it really did not went well for me. Not a good script. Though the scripts by Richard LaGravenese, Barry Berman, even Swerdlow & Goldberg were much better. I felt George's & Seeley were doing something but it did not had a perfect angle what can you do with a Seuss adaptation. Seuss/Geisel was brought in by Joffe & Myron to write the script which I think was the best choice of choosing that book as a film. Films like Grinch, Horton, Lorax, and Cat never make good adaptations because what's the point besides stretching it loose to lousiness. I felt Oh, the Places is a better choice for a movie adaptation to make it a fun, exciting, dramatic adventure that kids and even adults could enjoy...
