‘Dr. Seuss’s Horton!’ (2025)

The new animated series premieres on Monday, October 6th. It’s set in the Jungle of Nool and features Horton and his friends always ready to help others, upholding a promise of “elephant’s honor… bird’s word!” The voice cast includes Ethan Monaghan, Max Mittelman, and Kitana Turnbull. The show is based on the beloved characters and world created by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel).

As a critic, I found this show really nails the art of creating episodes for younger audiences. Each one feels like a sweet, self-contained adventure with problems kids can easily understand. What’s great is that it beautifully expands on the world of Dr. Seuss, bringing in fresh stories and characters, but always staying true to those core Seuss values – being kind, curious, and brave enough to do what’s right. It’s a delightful expansion of the source material.
