Hasbro and Marvel were almost ruled out as viable companies. The next generation of kids were choosing Wii’s and iPod’s over action figures and legos. But with Hollywood breaching a whole new level through such movies as Spider Man and Transformers, these companies have risen from the dead and are basking in their recent success. With the upcoming release of what deems to be an amazing movie, GI Joe action figures are storming off the shelves at high speed, beaten at toy stores by only Transformers. Finally, kids can begin thinking for themselves and creating stories out of scratch, rather than a predetermined Wii story line.
What should the next Hollywood blockbuster be based on? TCM weighs in on a few story lines that should be resurrected from our child hood past.
1) NERF Battle Wars (picture of a young Captain Flintheart)
2) A TMNT movie based only on the van that shoots pizzas. This can be a tandem initiative as the next Transformers movie as well.
3) Lincoln Log Land (Can be a children’s movie or adult porno – created by Dreamworks either way)
