I wonder if they did this because of The Rugrats Movie? As Disney attempts to make a little profit off of its recent purchase of the Doug series from Nickelodeon, the fateful parents of small children are forced to squirm in their seats. I may not be a parent of some over-zealous Doug fan, but I sure did the squirming part.
The film follows the trivails of Doug Funnie as he must discreetly hide a swamp monster he has found and attempt to woo Patty Mayonnaise as his date to the prom. The monster is about as interesting as the first five minutes of Wing Commander and the date part is thrown to abandon as every person in the theatre knows how it is sure to turn out. If the so-called vixen Ms. Mayonnaise was worth an hour and fifteen minutes of screentime than I can’t wait for Bobcat Goldthwait to get his own film (oh yeah, it was called Hot to Trot).
The film is sure to be enjoyed by well-meaning toddlers and pre-teens, anyone else will be sitting there ready to leave, which is exactly the same thing I said about The Rugrats Movie.
