Ideas going around for Slinky: The Movie

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking maybe a sort of arty, independent film, done in that sorta docu-style that's so hot now-a-days, about the very real, very secret, slinky addiction that claims the lives of 4 Americans a year.

 

Or perhaps a Slinky gets nominated for political office and wins in a sorta Jingoistic "rah rah, USA!, rah rah" film that would usually star Harrison Ford or Kevin Kline... and it really speaks on the lobbiests and campaign finance as the Slinky was pushed by Matel - or whothefuckever makes it. It also speaks on society and how we'd elect a Slinky to political office as it's a "lesser evil", or because it was packaged right, or because it didn't over-step it's boundaries, or because of the corporate stooges we all are...

 

I'm talking about films that would make you THINK, not these STUPID monster movies that are full of special effects and one dimensional characters.

I'm thinkin bout a Toy Story-esque film where a new brand of slinky comes out - one that can go UP stairs, as well as down - and the older version of Slinky feels left out. It's really a social commentary at how technology effects the labour force.

I'm going to rip off the Critic a tad, deal with it

 

 

"Oh...an artsy french film...'The Slinky'...this should be good"

 

*sits down and watches the title appear..."The Slinky...OF DEATH, PART 2!!!"*

 

"Hachi-machi!"

I'm thinking "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" meets "Lord of the Flies" meets "Toy Story" - where a Slinky, a Cabbagepatch Doll, a Pog, a Tickle-me-Elmo, and oh say a Pet Rock get left behind in a box when a family moves away and must find their way back to their once-loving owner; and along the way the Slinky and Tickle-me-Elmo battle it out for leadership and innocence is what truly gets lost in this tale of dying fads in todays society and the emotional scaring of being left behind.

Yeah, I know, the brilliance of a Pet Rock interacting with other Rocks and those other rocks not necessarily responding and the Tickle-me-Elmo and Cabbagepatch doll against the Pog and Slinky in a sorta class warfare where the plush dolls think they're better than the more recreational toys is really something that can be played up - I'm debating whether or not to use traditional animation or the digital stuff - maybe both... but then we're getting into Titan AE territory and we don't want THAT.

The makers of the thing have somehow convinced themselves and others that a film revolving around a length of metal coil is a suitable investment. "We are creating a completely imaginary, full world all based on the Slinky," says the film's director Henrique Vera-Villanueva. "The main character is a big Indiana Jones-type Slinky."

 

It's the adventures of Slink the Slinky who lives in the Slinky world. He battles evil Nazi Slinkies (complete with Slinky Swastika) while searching for the mythical Toymaker's Machine which was reportedly used to create the entire Slinky race.

It sounds like you mixed in a tad of "The Brave Little Toaster" with that one

Holy shit, The Brave Little Toaster. That movie scared me shitless as a kid. That song that the cars at the junkyard sang while they were being crushed? I'm getting the willies just thinking about it...
