I'm so sick of Hollywood being lazy and just making new versions of old cartoons,TV shows and movies. I mean they're making a Stretch Armstrong movie and there was never a cartoon to my knowledge. I can already see how this is going to play out, a CGI dog lame jokes and action and a couple of adult jokes to keep grownups interested. :thumbdown
