Who in the hell thought this was a good idea?
Let’s take a cartoon… make it live action… make the normally child sized Chipmunks into real size, real looking Chipmunks… and wait… let’s make them Gangsta!
Hallelujah! We have a hit on our hands.
But then again, I thought Garfield looked incredibly creepy and sad… and they made a sequel out of that train wreck.
Maybe I just don’t understand kids today. They’re making a Bratz live action movie with 4 — is it 4? 5? Who the hell cares? — unknowns in the lead. A live action movie based on a doll, based on a cartoon. Or maybe it’s a cartoon based on a doll? Whatever.
If they’re going to remake all the cartoons I used to like… can’t they at least make them animated? The Simpsons Movie comes out today. They didn’t feel the need to make that live action. We’ll see on Monday if the gamble pays off.
Anyways… if you haven’t yet, check out the trailer for this monstrosity. If you’re over say… 10, keep a bucket handy.
