Twentieth Century Fox Animation has hired Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino to direct the bigscreen version of HORTON HEARS A WHO.

The CGI-animated adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic has been written by Ken Daurio and Cinco Paul.

Chris Meledandri and Chris Wedge will produce. Audrey Geisel, Theodor Geisel's widow, will executive produce.

Mrs. Geisel has provided the directors with access to her husband's notes and letters explaining his visual inspiration for the Horton character and his world.

The film is currently scheduled for release in 2008.
