I’m a Millennial, which means dwarf It’s as much a part of my DNA as AOL’s “You got your email!” Tink and all the Y2K panic. I was a big Nickelodeon kid—knew all the shows, watched everything—and dwarf Always one of my favorites. So I’m sure Hollywood has done all sorts of magic to stoke nostalgia and bring back beloved franchises, thinking they can wow adults like me by sharing news of a live-action movie. dwarf The movie will be released soon.
Also…I’m not in good health.
Paramount Pictures is developing the film with director Jason Moore (you may know him) pitch perfect) and a script saturday night live Writing partners Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. Charmingly enough, they did have some guidance and approval from OG dwarf Creators Arlene Klasky and Gábor Csupó (created dwarf Both Krasky and Cupo are reportedly producers on the live-action film hollywood reporter.
If you’re a millennial like me, I know what you’re thinking: Aren’t they already doing dwarf Movie? Yes, 1998, I remember it clearly because I received that bright orange VHS in my Easter basket. It means I’m ~ancient~, it also means I know what dwarf Fans want it. I’m not sure if that’s it.
There’s no release date or any other information yet, but we do know that the movie will apparently be a mix of live-action and CGI, which probably means they won’t find the perfect babies to play Tommy, Chucky, Phil, and… There’s Lil and Angelica. (As one of our editors astutely pointed out, Tommy’s head only works in two dimensions.)
So what about CGI babies versus real adults? The show premiered in 1991 and spawned several spin-offs in the early and mid-1980s, all about the adventures of babies, with the parents and adults in the background also being part of the plot.
So it’s overwhelming to imagine all the actors they would need to include to make this feature worthwhile. Obviously, parents like Stu and Dee Dee Pickles and Betty and Howard DeVille are absolutely non-negotiable, but even assistants like Dr. Lipschitz and Charlotte Pickles Small characters like Jonathan are also necessary.
Like, what’s the storyline here? The show accumulates seasons because there’s always something new and exciting for babies to get involved with, and trying to condense that magic into one feature feels wrong.
There’s a reason TV shows are TV shows (especially cartoons) and movies are movies. Some scripts are better off with a tight ending with enough suspense to sustain the fun for 90 minutes. Other scripts and stories are based on characters, like the TV show, with something new every episode to help establish each person’s nuances and create a backstory that impacts the entire series.
For example, it’s kind of funny that Diddy has no idea what her baby and his friends are doing during the day. What’s even funnier is when you learn that she’s read all these parenting books, followed this guru in Dr. Lipschitz, and panicked about everything about raising kids, while her toddler was in diapers There is a screwdriver hidden to unlock the baby fence.
I just don’t know, you guys. Some of the characters have very unique voices too! Fingers crossed if this movie comes out and CGI babies show up, they at least let the same voices do the work for the Little Four and Angelica. Oh my god, how are they going to do Reptar? Will Angelica’s beloved doll Cynthia be CGId? Who will play Grandpa?
I’m not ready, Paramount. Let’s go and relive all the seasons dwarf Let’s end it like this, okay?
