Fuck that.
Seriously, it's not even the fact that it's going to use more modern technology as the characters. I could accept that, given the right implementation.
The thing that murders it for me is the fact that it's going to be live-action/cg. Which of course implies that there are going to be human characters in more prominent roles, rather than focusing almost entirely on the objects.
No doubt the human characters will play the "straight man" role to the wise-cracking, goofball iphones and whatnot.

This one hurts.

This is hilarious.

You know what the funny thing is? I met the person who manages the animation division that made Smurfs. You know what they think? Its just as terrible of an idea as we think it is, however it generates lots of revenue so they keep doing it. Blame the people forking out the cash to watch these kinds of movies, they dictate this kind of garbage being made.

I only barely remember seeing this movie on the disney channel when I was a kid, but this is one remake that best remains in development hell.

Ruins the point of the object being simple and ordinary yet doing amazing things.
Next thing you know the hubble space telescope has feelings too.
Hover Boards make baby's.
And light sabers discover the meaning of life.

In a world with technology taking over our lives it would have been refreshing to look at a simple object like a toaster again and find it admerable its trying to make itself relivant still amoung modern devices.
Instead we are supposed to feel simpathy for advanced technology and what? Feel sorry it sells so well and is overly a part of our lives?

How am I supposed to believe a kid misses an Iphone? They will just release another one in 6 months slimmer "cooler" and the kid will get that one not giving a fuck about the lost out of date one. Meanwhile lost iphone get's new life being sold at Gamestop so another spoiled kid.

I had never heard about this movie but the worst part is that I understand you guys 100% even without having seen it myself. Because I can tell from reading the article that it's another soulless remake of something that had some thought behind it. Add in some extra product placement for good measure.
