It’s the Berenstain Bears.

Seriously, you remember this stuff?  If you were a child of the eighties like me, you might even remember that they’ve been in cartoon form since way back then, and apparently have had other versions since.  In fact, I’ve got YouTube of the original Berenstain Bears theme below.

Welcome back to the EIGHTIES.  Represent.

But anyway, someone–and here I’m referring to Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy–has apparently had the bright idea to take these childhood icons and turn them into a movie.  And somehow, a little part of me died inside when it remembered what Hollywood did to the Chipmunks.

There’s no word as yet on release dates, but somehow, this sounds like another grandiosely bland attempt on Hollywood’s part to wring a few fast bucks out of our childhood by gunning for name recognition indiscriminately and hoping for the best.
