Guess who's just landed on Netflix—Dr. Seuss's Horton!
The series, a vibrant reimagining of the beloved elephant, brings Horton to life in a fresh, playful way—following the exciting and whimsical adventures of a young Horton and his best bud Samson as they go on adventures to help the citizens of the Jungle of Nool.
Each episode follows the duo helping their jungle neighbors solve quirky problems, all while learning lessons about empathy, courage, and friendship. The show beautifully echoes Horton’s timeless message: “A person’s a person, no matter how small.”

The vibrant CG-animated series is executive-produced and developed by Dustin Ferrer and Becky Friedman, with Ferrer also serving as showrunner and animation services done by our Dublin and Bali studios. The voice cast features Ethan Monaghan (Mickey Mouse Funhouse) as Horton, Max Mittelman (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir) as Samson, and Kitana Turnbull (The Rocketeer) as Jane Kangaroo.
Horton! is part of a broader partnership between Netflix and Dr. Seuss Enterprises, which spans a trio of colourful new animated titles, including our upcoming 45-minute special The Sneetches which premieres on November 3, 2025. Executive Producer Dustin Ferrer, known for his work on Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and Esme & Roy, is serving as the creative lead across the slate.
Ready to dive into the Jungle of Nool? Horton and Samson are ready to take you on a jungle-sized adventure.
