When we were kids, there was only yellow, pink, and blue Peeps. Now, they have different flavors, their own cereal, coffee creamer, Oreo cookie, milk, Pepsi, and so much more. Therefore, it would make sense that someone in Hollywood would decide to make a movie about them.
According to Deadline, Wonder Street bought the film and TV rights to the sugar-covered marshmallow candy, and they already have their first production in the works. It is an animated movie being described as “Trolls meets Smurfs.”
“Peeps Chicks and Bunnies have been ingrained in American pop culture for nearly seven decades due to their instantly recognizable shapes and fan-favorite marshmallow taste, making them the perfect characters to bring to life on the big screen,” said Keith Domalewski, Director of Marketing & Consumer Engagement at Just Born. “We hope the new Peeps film spreads sweetness to families across the country and provides inspiration for fans to express their ‘Peepsonality’ in new ways.”
Am I the only one who was hoping it would be a live-action Horror movie where they come to life and kill all the people who destroy them in microwaves, acid, and other torturous ways? Can you tell I spent the weekend watching the same five Easter Horror movies again? I want something new, and a scary Peeps film would be scrumptious!
