The Garbage Pail Kids are coming back to the big screen

I almost feel like this is going to turn into a rant about remakes/board game adaptations, but there is news today that Michael Eisner’s production company will be releasing a new Garbage Pail Kids movie. Many of you may not remember that there was a previous film made based on the trading cards that was released back in 1987. Even fewer of you likely remember that it was a musical film. I, for one, will never forget the wretched pile of garbage that it was.

For those of you who have never heard of Garbage Pail Kids, they were a spoof of the Cabbage Patch Kids. But, where the Cabbage Patch Kids were sweet and wholesome and loving dolls, the Garbage Pail kids were disgusting, vile, and borderline inappropriate trading cards/stickers. In other words, perfect for pre-teen boys.
