So I just saw a trailer for a movie version of the kids' book: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. gonk Now...I love movies. But that book is just a simple yet brilliant story about a town that's besiged by weather made of food. It's not supposed to be about any one person. In fact it's really a man telling his grandkids about the time when it started raining food when he was a boy.
When I saw the trailer I thought, "Well it looks like a neat movie...but the reason why I liked that story as a kid was because it was such a fantastic premise, but kept simple in the style of a children's story. I feel like it doesn't need a whole movie, and all sorts of convoluted plot. Because I always liked stories that were as simple as, "So one day it started raining food...no real reason, it just did." xp
Then I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWL6j0SvqV0&feature=related
rofl rofl CLEARLY a fake. But it perfectly summarizes how I feel about some of my beloved childhood stories/tv shows/video games being turned into feature films. A neat idea, but not really nessicary.
Of course, everybody has their own opinions, and some people really like alternate, movie versions of stuff they remember from childhood. So what do you think ATG? Do you like these kinds of movies or not?
Edit: Here are some illustrations from that book: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs:
