Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Cue the TVTropes link for
Flat What.
When I saw
the trailer on YouTube I was gobsmacked.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't remake things unless you can improve them or put a new spin (not just adding comic relief characters in the background) on it. Being lazy and expecting to make a profit from it is wrong and should never be encouraged in any artistic field.
Do I feel that any insertion of pop culture figures into preexisting stories is wrong? Of course not! It just has to be done properly. The first step is actually having the pop culture figures play roles
in the story, as opposed to just fooling around
next to the story.
