Rebooting childhood classics is n’t an easy feat . Nostalgia work both way and it ’s really hard to tap into the best of it . But with the amount of hot action mechanism enfranchisement reboots happening now , we ’re seeing a reinvention of concepts and characters that maybe other forms of media did n’t think of before .
Of course , there ’s other franchises that might merit the glare more . Here are five childhood franchises getting a reboot and five that deserve one .
Rugrats, 2021
Why ? We do n’t call for bouncy activity baby .
Rugratshad something of a sequel series in the early 2000s calledAll Grown Up!It was … ok . For the most part , it broke down tween / stripling problems jolly well and fit in with the rest of Nickelodeon ’s programming at the time consideringAs Told By Ginger , My Life As a Teenage Robot , andDanny Phantomwere running at the same time . ButAs Told By Gingerdid the teenage topics a bit better , considering it ran for 16 years as pit toAll Grown Up!which go for 5 yr .
A regaining to strain would be a good place for a movie reboot . Half the charm ofRugratswas seeing how the babies perceive the world and the lessons they con just exploring biography . Bringing back that spark of childhood wonder would do the franchise some good .
Herbie the Love Bug
Hey , cute and cuddly cable car seem to make a unspoilt picture show . Herbie ’s launching was in 1968 and for the next 30 some - odd years , he was a big enough slew for Disney to keep wee-wee movies . His last movie appearing was inHerbie : to the full Loaded , released in 2005 .
Disney does n’t seem to have any programme to stay the franchise , even though the last movie did n’t do atrociously at the box office . With a self-coloured team behind it , a young Herbie film could be so much fun and take us to novel places . Rally Finland anyone ?
Clifford the Big Red Dog, 2020
Yes , Clifford is develop a live action movie slated for 2020 . And candidly , who does n’t want to see a 15 foot upright boy on the blind ?
Paramount Pictures picked up the film and it will be a joint speculation for Scholastic Entertainment and Paramount Animation . Paramount pay it a November 13th , 2020 release date , most probable to cash in in on the Thanksgiving kick . Scholastic will also be rebooting theCliffordTV serial publication later this year , with newfangled episode hopefully coincide with and direct up to the movie ’s release . Cleo and T - Bone will be missed .
Star Wars: EwoksorStar Wars: Droids
So technically theStar Warsfranchise has a plenty going for it justly now , but most 80s and 90s kids will remember at least one of these two show . Both were passably short - lived , with 2 seasons and 1 season severally .
They ’re both really fun to catch , specially if you as a kid were drawn to humanlike teddy bear or robots . And yes , Anthony Daniels in reality voices C-3PO in the series ( with R2 as himself ) . Considering that the preschool writing style is undergoing a massive boom , it ’d be cool to see these spinoffs readapt for the audience too untested forStar Wars Resistanceget their own show .
Dora and the Lost City of Gold, August 2019
Did anyone see this one coming ? Anyone ?
From the preview , it seems like a jolly originative premiss count the origin material . Dora the Exploreris one of a smattering of preschool show that helps children teach a second spoken communication . Also , that theme song is way too catchy .
Isabela Moner will asterisk as a adolescent Dora , start the journey of navigate high school . And then something happens to her Internet Explorer parents and she has to go save them . It sound pretty fun , but there ’s a ok line . You have to make it feel like a Dora adventure , not an escapade movie in Dora ’s clothes .
Astro Boy
Ok , where is it ? Where is the reboot we were tease by in 2015 that ’s all artsy and pretty ?
Astro Boyis in awful need of a reboot . The last gum anime straight starring Astro Boy come out in 2003 , with the dub make huge tonal change to the show . Although we ’re generate news that the reboot - a co - production between France ’s Caribara Productions and Shibuya Productions and Japan ’s Tezuka Productions - will be send packing some time this yr , we have n’t heard anything else . consider how long it ’s been delayed , some of us are start to lose hope .
Sonic the Hedgehog, November 2019
Let ’s give a big thank you to Paramount execs for let the energizer redo Sonic ’s eccentric aim . For those of you iffy about it just because of the redundant work , it ’s not as bad as it fathom . The liveliness itself is set , the mannequin just needs a new skin so to speak . It ’ll be a relatively simple cognitive operation . The financial issue the VFX industry has in general is another story not related to Sonic .
There were a lot of missteps with that initial trailer , but there was also some poppycock to like that may serve the core game . Sonic ’s got some enceinte one - liners and Dr. Robotnik ’s ( or are we calling him Eggman ? ) costume is on - point . At the very least , it feels like a Sonic movie blood-related to Sonic Boom ’s humor . And Sonic Boom is singular material .
Kirby
In an age rebooting democratic video plot franchises , why not Kirby ?
free the senior high school of hisSuper Smash Bros. MVP position , Kirby turned into the breakout star during the initial World of Light poke launch . in earnest , if a room of adult men all chanting “ Kirby ! ” in the NYC Nintendo computer memory does n’t instantly clear your skin , then nothing will .
Kirby ’s one of those fictional character you ’ve find out of if you ’ve ever played a Nintendo secret plan , but likely do n’t know the lore of . And the anime that hightail it in the other 2000s had a entirely unlike story and universe from the games . Kirby ’s premise and style would match a new audience as well , like a grim central interpretation ofDetective Pikachu .
Detective Pikachu, May 2019
That first trailer had us scratch our heads , but nodding along in compliance . But that 2nd trailer had us all shook .
Detective Pikachuis actually ground off a relatively obscure Pokémon game of the same name . Released in 2016 , the 3DS version of the game has Tim investigating the disappearance of his father when he runs intoDetective Pikachu , his begetter ’s Pokémon . The new movie make a lot of changes to the plot and characters , but overall , it ’s enjoyable for new and old fans .
Sure , it ’s not the best film ever made . But it ’s a playfulness video secret plan movie and it was awesome seeing so many Pokémon from every multiplication in one lieu .
Avatar: The Last Airbender
So technically , this is baffle a hot action adaptation , but that ’s not a reboot likeThe Legend of Korrawas . A muckle of us still loveAvatarsince it was a hearty story with great characters in a really fun world . There ’s so much to like about it and very piffling to dislike .
With such a strong cornerstone and a good sequel serial , it ’s about meter for a true reboot . There ’s a huge account to draw on , hundreds of different Avatars to follow , and different clock time periods to play off of . What if we had benders now ? How about booze-up in a time when the world is more connected ? Or how about the spirit of the 2nd Avatar ? So many possibility !
