Apparently August will see the release of a new Benji movie. "Benji Returns: Rags to Riches" is the name. It's only been, what? 25 years since the first?
C'mon... a little fishing line, a skilled puppeteer, and a snow blower hooked up to force air through the vocal cords for that ever-so-cute "wurf" that he makes when he gets all perturbed? This is gonna be GREAT! I see MERCHANDISING OPPORTUNITIES! Burgerking Collector's Glasses - COLLECT ALL 8! A cute sceene from the movie on the front, and on the back "Benji's defiled and rotting (yet life-likely animated) corpse saves the realistically CGI rendered birds nest from the evil Logging Industry".
I checked IMDB. They're calling it Benji: Off the Leash! It's written and directect by Joe Camp, who did the first movie, and he has someone in it playing himself. How exciting.
