‘Candy Land’…the movie? What’s next, ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos: The Motion Picture’?

With Universal announcing that they are developing a movie based on the board game, Candy Land, we realized just how much film potential there is in adapting other classic kids’ games. Here are some others we’d like to see in the works:
HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS
In DreamWorks’ CGI comedy, a family of obese hippopotami get kicked out of the hippo community for eating too much food. Bruce Willis (pictured), Holly Hunter, and Joe Jonas voice the tubby clan. Alone in the African jungle, they inadvertently find themselves helping out King Toucan (Gilbert Gottfried), whose stockpile of magical white pellets is being stolen by evil crocodiles. Fast-food marketing opportunities abound, as well as tie-ins with The Biggest Loser and possibly yogurt-covered peanuts, which look kind of like the white pellets. Jesse McCartney sings the title song, “Hungry Hungry Hippos (Wha-chu Gonna Eat Now?)”
