Back in the mid-1980s, kids all over the world wanted Teddy Ruxpin. He was a teddy bear that could play cassette tapes and read your stories, play music, or you could listen to your dead relative’s voice.
He was one of the cool toys that required A LOT of batteries. So when the ’80s ended, so did his popularity.
But there is one man who still loves his talking teddy bear, and he is a big teddy bear himself. Who is it? It is The Rock, and now he is giving his old bed buddy his own movie.
DJ’s Seven Bucks has teamed up with Amazon MGM Studios to make a live-action film based on Ruxpin. According to Variety, it was pitched as Sonic the Hedgehog meets Elf.
I hope that Dwayne Johnson talks to Wicked Cool Toys about getting the rights to making Teddy again. They were the last ones to do so and production of him ended in 2019. Just some advice before they start production, make him rechargeable because not everyone has Rock money!
