    I think most people saw the film and said 'what just happened there? I laughed my arse off till I nearly pissed my pants and yet there was no swearing, nudity, gross out, violence or fart jokes?'

    ... one more thing, it is nice to see that the cast and creators will hopefully be involved, spin offs typically do not get that kind of treatment, in all reality though, most of them are not that busy in hollywood though:( lucky for us :)

    this is great news, i think the film still has a great following, and the characters were unique and interesting enough to continue the adventures. I am glad they chose this format, although i would love to see a sequel, i think the first film was genius and too many films get ruined with too many bad sequels. I just hope it sticks to somewhat real grounds, and does not turn into a looney tunes type with say "tina the fat lard" doing commentary or pedro and napoleon doing some "sweet jumps" off the grand canyon. But i am in, and hope this becomes a reality.

    I hope that it's not that crappy "decroated, peice of crap" animation that you see everywhere today. Like that stupid retarded "Action Time" cartoon, where it looks like they don't know what to create anymore, so they just draw a bunch of stupid sh*t until it starts to look like something. Make it cool and make it like the movie. Please don't change the characters. Rex has to be in this too. And what about Lafawnda, Deb, Grandma and Tina? He needs to has arch rivals, so Summer will have to be there also.
