What the hell? It's nothing like "Transformers" or even the "Candyland" board game. There was no back story or cartoon to the View Master. It was just a View Master. Are they going to make a movie around the hula hoop (no pun intended)or slap bracelets? Honestly, a pathetic, money grubbing grab by the film and toy industry.

Are they going to make a movie around the hula hoop...

Have you seen The Hudsucker Proxy?

But is it going to be in 3D?

Finally, the films I've been waiting for are becoming a possibility:

"Fischer-Price Garage: The Movie"!

"The Pull-string Dog with Feet on it's Wheels Trilogy"!

and

"Blocks!"

If they really wanted to exploit toy properties and also had their finger on the pulse of nostalgia-culture, we would have seen a Lego movie by now.

We almost certainly won't.

Story specifics are under wraps? C'mon, it's a Dreamworks film. That means it's a talking animal with a one-dimensional personality and a stupid grin that gets sucked into the magical world of the Viewmaster. I promise.

Movie aside, moving the reel to the top was probably the best move ever in classic toy re-design.

This is just the beginning of the beginning for the Fisher-Price rampage. Imagine: See-n-Say The Movie!

Then TI gets in on the gig with Speak n Spell The Movie and the sequels, Speak n Read: That Yellow One and Speak n Math: Number Stumper Rules!
