The next How To Train Your Dragon movie is a little over two years away, but the next live-action movie based on a beloved animated film is the Halle Bailey-led The Little Mermaid, the 2023 movie release coming to theaters on May 26. A mean lord exiles fairytale creatures to the swamp of a grumpy ogre, who must go on a quest and rescue a princess for the lord in order to get his land back. Could Shrek, Kung Fu Panda or Madagascar find themselves being remade as well? We’ll be on the lookout! If How To Train Your Dragon translates well to live action, we have to wonder if Universal Pictures will follow in the footsteps of Disney and adapt more of its well-loved properties from animation to live action. In CinemaBlend’s interview last year with DeBlois, the filmmaker wished those involved with the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch well and shared his thoughts on making sequels to his beloved films, like How To Train Your Dragon. DeBlois said he felt that adapting his alien creation of Stitch may be “disturbing” in CG form. And these comedic forces of Hollywood shined from start to finish, with their delivery of these absurd one-liners defining the humor of Superbad until its final, fitting frame.It’s also interesting news given DeBlois has previously shared concerns over Disney’s decision to remake one of his other films, Lilo & Stitch, for live action. The last, but not least, of the propaganda films. Directors: James Algar, Clyde Geronimi, Jack Kinney Stars: Bing Crosby, Basil Rathbone, Eric Blore, John McLeish.

An animated adaptation of 'The Wind in the Willows' followed by an adaptation of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. Seth Rogen and Bill Hader show up as a couple of cool cops, while Emma Stone has an early role as Seth’s love interest Jules. Related: Was Superbad Really the Last Good High School Movie? But the humor in Superbad is truly revealed in the performances of its lead characters: Seth, played by Jonah Hill Evan, played by Michael Cera and of course, McLovin, portrayed by Christopher Mintz-Plasse. It takes full-fledged creativity to concoct jokes like Seth’s artwork in his elementary-school notebook. A seminal release of millennial humor, Superbad (2007) proved that jokes revolving around male genitalia could actually be rendered cerebral, to a degree.
