The Berenstain Bears: The Movie • Speaking of children's movies, Hollywood has greenlit The Berenstain Bears: The Movie. Hopefully they go Where the Wild Things Are with it, and make it really dark and sad. Children crying. Nightmares.

Rip Torn's eyes would barely open and his face was a ravaged, haggard, stubbly mess. His chapped lips stuck together, and the pavement had left a red, mottled impression against his cheek. He looked around blearily, barely able to focus...

I heard they're basing it on this book:
Score = -3
My childhood is turning over in its grave.
Score = 3
If anyone touches the Little House on the Prairie series, by god, I will impotently stamp my foot and turn an alarming fuchsia color.
What it lacks in drama, it makes up for in accuracy.
Score = 7
Little House on the Prairie? Go drink your prune juice, grandma!
I'm just teasing, I do enjoy watching Little House on the Prairie at times.
Score = 7
I'm sorry, sonny, you'll have to type louder. I left my ear trumpet in my other Model-T.
Score = 10
HARHAR! You gots me doin da roflcopter!
Score = 1
Berenstein Bears and the no good nasty production company!
Score = 12
Why did they spell it "Berenstain"? I always hated that, even before I was aware of the difference in pronunciation between "stein" and "stien."
Score = 4
You misspelled Berenstein.
Score = 1
It actually should be Berenstain. Gabe misspelled it.
Score = 3
GUYS, IT'S SPELLED BEARENSTAIN.
You can all stop fighting now, because I got it so right.
Score = 9
Whatever. Sounds like a bunch of Jew bears to me.
Score = 13
It's actually "Berenstain". Gabe got it wrong.
Score = 3
I think this is the yiddish version, OY
Score = 5
I did not see this!
Score = 0
Because that's the authors' last name.
Score = 3
I know this is the correct answer, but I want to downvote it for being boring. I won't. But I want to.
Score = 0
I have been corrected! I apologize for my smarmy, nitpicky comment! You were right the whole time!
Score = 2
this is very ;-( for me, having honed my skills on the B Bears (amongst others). i will see this on piratewarez.org.fiz/theftplace when it comes out, though... just to see what they fucked up
Score = 3
If Brother & Sister bear aren't 3-D CGI & rapping in the vicinity of David Cross, then I'm not interested.
Score = 15
Your wish may see the light of day...
will be a mix of live-action and computer animation.
Score = 1
So can we safely assume that the success of WTWTA (Wild things 2 -Wild Thingier) has brought this upon us?
Score = 4
I figured it would be CGI, but I just wanted them to rap near one of my favorite comedians that I once had respect for. I'd also settle for Bob Odenkirk, but he would have to rap too.
Score = 2
This news is turning me inside outside upside down.
Score = 4
Urban Outfitters better get going on those graphic t's.
Score = 17
If this brings back the Berenstain Bears happy meal toys, then I will be a happy camper. Those toys were so legit with superior quality. I liked when the Bears attached the my GI Joes because they were hungry.
Score = 3
see: Papa Bear's hands could easily hold Storm Shadow's sword.
Score = 1
i think as long as Bill Watterson doesn't let the Calvin & Hobbes movie get made we'll all be ok.
Score = 11
oh god. I hope whoever is in charge of making movies never reads what you just wrote. If they made a Calvin & Hobbes movie... well, I'd have to find out where we keep all our chainsaws.
Score = 6
WORD, fellow Calvin & Hobbes avatar haver. Starring Abigail Breslin as Susie! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF
Score = 5
Bat barf all over the place.
I can't imagine how they'd get Calvin or Hobbes' voice right. I only have a vague idea of what they sound like in my head but no matter who they'd cast, it'd be wrong.
Also, BOINK to your ZAP.
Score = 2
You don't think Topher would make a perfect Calvin? Poll time!
Score = 8
Topher is Hobbes!
Score = 4
Hollywood continues to Beren-stain my childhood.
Score = 3
Score = 15
i want it to be a slasher/horror film based on this book:
Score = 5
Score = 9
Score = 8
For some reason, the fact that this one is cut off on my screen makes it even funnier.
Score = 0
The Spooky Old Tree was my favorite Berenstain Bear book. Talk about dark and sad. It was scary and thrilling and had creaking staircases and jumping crocodiles and ‘Do they dare go into the Spooky old tree?’ I used to read as fast as I could just to get to the end so that i knew they were safe.
And by ‘used to’ i mean ‘yesterday.'
But seriously, I am so far removed from the current goings on of the Berenstain Bear clan that making a movie about them doesn't concern me. Did you know they have ANOTHER sister now? Her name is Honey or something (Jessisca Alba?)
Score = 8
So it's Brother, Sister, and Honey? Seems logical enough.
Score = 2
As an incredulous child, I questioned why a bear would be named 'Sister' or 'Mama' or what have you (Queenie?). Like, when Mama was little she wasn’t called 'Mama,' right? (I think there is a book where she is called 'Mama' as a little girl. I know she still wore that frumpy polka-dotted number.) My own mother told me that OF COURSE they have other names and 'Brother' and 'Sister' were just nicknames. However, in doing research (just now) it turns out that Brother and Sister are their ‘real’ names.*
Honey, however, was named by the readers. There was some online voting thing. So blame yourself for not being in the know and voting for Sister II or Tabitha.
*they don’t have real names because they are not real. That said Lizzy Bruin (Sister’s BFF) is one of my favorite fictional character names of all times.
Score = 1
yow! BerenZING! bears!
