Plain Old Tele Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I love Calvin & Hobbes, I'll have to check this out. Box-office prospects seem pretty limited, hopefully it at least gets a few hundred thousand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I will probably wait for the DVD but I am looking forward to this docu. I didn't know it was coming out. Such memories.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 This probably won't come to Milwaukee but once it's on Netflix I definitely have to watch this. This was one of my favorite comic strips, along with the Far Side and Fox Trot. And ever read the theory that Fight Club was Calvin and Hobbes grown up?

CaptainJackSparrow Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I love Calvin and Hobbes, but I sorta dislike the author. I feel that he is being greedy not letting us have a movie of the strip, even though he surely is not trying to be greedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watterson has given his reasons why they'll never be a movie, and their perfectly understandable. Besides you wouldn't want it to be another Garfield, would you?

Jack Nevada Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Havent actively read Calvin & Hobbes in years but I instantly recognized every strip they showed in that trailer. Edited November 12, 2013 by Jack Nevada 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 It's good. I saw it many months ago at a film fest, and it's a fun celebration of one of the greatest comics of our generation. The only issue is that at times, it feels like 90 minutes of "ZONE C&H is the best!" but it does offer more than that.Fans of the comic will not be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I love handing kids their first Calvin and Hobbes book for a birthday or holiday.It's an awesome gift to pass to the next generation.Hopefully netflix will have this movie on their instant/streaming list. It deserves a wider audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 In short, I want a Calvin and Hobbes film. Well yeah, but if the creator feels he's told the story he wants to, and doesn't think films would be a good creative choice, who's to argue?

CaptainJackSparrow Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I wish he could at least spend time on the internet answering questions fans have. He just seems like an old, grumpy, douche to me whenever I think of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
