The Wayans Bros. have a new movie coming out about a pint sized baby-faced thief called Little Man and I can't wait!!!!

I wonder where they ever came up with such a great idea?! Let's check out the official site for details:
"Little Man is the brainchild of comedy innovators Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans... The initial spark for a story about a baby-like criminal came from a trip to the video store. "I saw a cover for a horror movie called Test Tube Baby," recalls director/writer/producer Keenen Ivory Wayans. "I thought it was a funny idea what if something went wrong with the first test tube baby and he didnt come out quite right?"
That's Awesome! I can't wait to see some images from the movie!!

Hey! Wait a minute guys, this looks kind of familiar...

Hmmm, probably just a coincidence. I know those Wayans boys are way too creative to have to get ideas from somewhere else. I'll let one of their producers tell you just how creative and smart they are:
"Coming up with an idea for a movie is never a problem for the Wayans brothers," Producer Alvarez continues. "They've got a million ideas, but theres always one that breaks through and we all get really excited about. We loved the concept of literally shrinking Marlon down to someone who was two and a half feet tall."
Hahahaha!!! Marlon two feet tall!! I wonder what that's gonna look like?

HAHAHA!! I was right that is funny... but wait. I think I've seen this before, too:

"Once I'd gotten the image in my head, it was all about building a life for the little guy and figuring out a plot and a story," explains Keenen.
Really? So you came up with all this and built a whole life for the little guy completely in your head?


According to writer/producer/star Marlon Wayans, "As it developed, it turned into a truly funny script. When people read it they ask what we get high on to come up with our ideas and I tell them green tea and Snickerdoodles."
Really? Green Tea and Snickerdoodles? If you say so, I guess...


I have to be honest, guys. I'm starting to lose faith here.
I think I remember this cartoon. What was it called again? Oh yeah! "Baby Buggy Bunny!" From those classic Warner Bros. Cartoons! It was great! Baby Face Finster was a pint sized crook who hid from the law by posing as a baby and pulling the wool over Bugs' eyes for a short time...
Are you guys really so full of yourselves that you're gonna try and say it was an originally inspired idea?
Oh wait, here's the producer to the rescue. I guess he realizes he better do some damage control, before those Wayans make a really big mistake (oops, forgot about White Chics...).
"Little Man evolved into something of an homage to the Bugs Bunny cartoon Baby Finster (You can't even get the name right, dude). The Wayans brothers are very much into things like the Little Rascals, Bugs Bunny and the Three Stooges," explains producer Rick Alvarez, who runs Wayans Bros. Productions and is their long-time producing partner.
But how come he has to say this after Keenan has already tried to say he came up with the idea completely from his own inspiration? Why did I have to search multiple reviews to hunt down even this little admission? Why aren't they just admitting that they tried to turn a 3 minute cartoon of pure genius into hack 90 minute movie?
The concept was perfect as a cartoon. It was a gag that could be played for all its slapstick worth in 3 minutes. Are they so fucking desparate that they need to steal a GAG and try to turn it into a live action movie?
Adds Marlon: "We want to give audiences a kick and make them laugh. I feel bad when I go to a movie and see that people arent getting their money's worth. A movie costs ten dollars. You could feed a family with ten dollars."
I got my moneys worth and then some 20 years ago on Saturday morning while eating my Fruity Pebbles...
The Original cartoon ended with Baby Finster getting his due in the form of a beating from Bugs Bunny... I wish Bugs would smack some sense into these guys.
You're pathetic, Wayans Brothers, if you think you can pass off the work of real geniuses and pioneers of animation and comedic story telling as your own.
