Quisp We've had X-Men and The Fantastic Four, so why not a movie about cereal mascot superheroes?

Our sister blog Cinematical has news about a new computer-animated film called Cereal Heroes. It's about cereal box mascots that are accidentally brought to life and have to go on the run and stay safe in the modern world.

This sounds so crazy that it just might work. I'm not sure if I want to see it as an animated film or try to get actors to play the mascots. But if the writing is sharp, this has great satire potential. Imagine the Quisp guy flying around and Tony The Tiger saving the world and the Rice Krispies guys getting into trouble. Maybe Cap 'n Crunch can have a cool speed boat that he pilots to save the day.

Which cereal characters would you like to see come to life in a movie like this?

There is absolutely no question that I would go see that movie. Especially if it was a psycho-thriller (think Se7ven) or straight-up-campy horror. I'd see it every day for a week.

That is hysterical! I don't think I would rush out to see this movie, but at the same time I think it would be funny! Movie makers nowadays are running out of ideas to make for movies. Thus, a movie about breakfast cereal characters! LOL!

The best characters have to be Count Chocula and Frankenberry, right? They've gotta have interesting backstories. Although, I wouldn't mind finding out about how Cap'n Crunch became a Cap'n - he must've had some interesting adventures in his younger days. Also, I think the criminal from Cookie Crisp is probably worth investigating; I mean, what causes someone to break the law so regularly for cookies. What's his motivation? There's a story there, dagnabbit.

I would also posit that Toucan Sam, the Cocoa Puffs bird, and Lucky are probably predictably boring.

Toucan Sam would make a good P.I. or maybe a forensics type guy. (Follow the nose, it ALWAYS knows!)

If they really tried hard, they could do something clever and funny. I somehow doubt that will be the result. We can always hope.

Well, the Super Sugar Crisp bear would obviously play a pimp daddy.
