You know, between movies based on big giant monsters (Pacific Rim, Godzilla), classic toys (The Lego Movie, Battleship), cartoons (Transformers, G.I. Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and comic books (pick one), this past 10 years has been like raiding the toy boxes of every kid who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s and projecting the results onto the big screen. Yes, the Saturday morning cartoon effect is back and it’s fittingly grown to gargantuan size. But why stick with only the popular stuff? Why not give the chance to shine to one of the other properties that came out all those years ago, but didn’t quite stick in memory the same way as the others did? Given the current popularity of giant monsters causing untold destruction on a human populace, there’s one cartoon I’d like to see make an appearance on the silver screen. Hear me now, oh studio heads… adapt InHumanoids!
