LMAO, youd get a shot of like an L.A. intersection and youd spot him in the corner of the screen and be like i see him. Seconds later gunfire breaks out cause waldo dressed in his infamous stripes was mistaken for a rival gang member and everyone be like where is he, we gotta save him but i suck at these puzzles. It’d be like Race to find waldo.

Hey, they had a Where’s Waldo? cartoon in the late eighties, early nineties. I remember watching a few episodes. Didn’t last very long, though.

I vote for Jim Carrey in the role of Waldo!

@Paul

I don’t know man, that sounds pretty wild. It’s not that I don’t like the idea of an interactive family film, it’s just that I don’t think a studio would sign off on such an unconventional project.

It’s gonna be about Waldo being the victim of prejudice because he wears red striped shirts, wears a sock on his head, and hides in crowds, then his new-found buddies (likely beginning with kids then transferring to their parents) will fight for his rights to wear socks and hide in crowds. Cause hey, wouldn’t we all like to hide in crowds and have feet-heads?

I don’t think you guys are giving this a fair chance. Being dead serious, this has a chance to be a very unique and interesting kids/family film. Stay with me here, for those of you with kids, how much fun would it be to watch a “Catch Me if You Can” kids film? Waldo is constantly moving from place to place always in the background and you have to find him as an audience. Kids would be constantly pointing at the screen and looking for him. Almost like an entire movie of Easter Eggs. And then for the DVD you add even more scenes for you to find him in.

They could make it hard as well. Give Waldo a job and let the FBI or DHS hunt him down but he would always be wearing his trademark outfit.

It’s not entirely about the story either. It just needs to flow enough to make sense from one scene to the next and then to make it more interesting…release the number of times people can actually FIND Waldo and have a contest to name all the locations 1st. What an ingenious way to increase ticket sales. They could do another contest when the DVD comes out with the extra scenes.

WHat do you think?

I have a jar of stale mayonnaise in my fridge – maybe i can license it to Hollywood and they can make a movie out of it.

They’re probably thinking a strictly kids/family movie, so while it might not be for everyone, it’s probably not as bad an idea as it sounds for the intended audience.

Damn! How is this even possible? I’m having a hard time imagining how it would be…

Jeez, I hope people stop going to these movies so Hollywood just slows down and doesn’t make everything possible into a movie. Next thing you know they’ll see a cardboard box on the street and make it into a trilogy. STOP THE MADNESS!
