Yeah but the chipmunks movie did pull in shit loads of cash for them and ultimately isn't that what its about?
Sadly yes, Hollywood unfortunately puts quantity before quality. Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, and Katherine Hepburn are all spinning in their graves at 120 RPMs now.
What's next? Live action Hair Bear Bunch? Live action Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch? Speed Buggy? Live action Jabberjaw?
The Design looks nice cause they stay true.................. but, I severely doubt this is gonna be good!! Did you read the story's synopsis?? How many times has Hollywood the same concept??
I'm pretty sure that they learnt that the opinions of whining 20+ year olds on the internet who think that thier generation has ownership of a kids entertainment property are completely irrelevant when it comes to making money off of it again. It was no different back when those folks were making movies, the old studio system used to roll hundreds of films a year off the production line that nobody remembers or cares about anymore.
GAH are you sure they're not making a zombie Yogi Bear movie? Those dead eyes just keep staring into my soul...
Danny Aykroyd as Yogi? Meh. Not too bad. But Timberlake? Why didn't anyone ask Billy West? At least Will Ferrell isn't Ranger Smith...yet...
They should adapt the Cartoon one. You know where they si... *guhkr* Sorry I think I puked in my mouth a little. Anyway I do like the designs except for the dead eyes. Pretty close to the originals. *nods in approval* however voice casting is downright yuck.
