Over all my idea is probably horrible and this should probably be ignored but to my point, I see a plausible franchize. The Happytime franchise could be taking to so many new levels. Horror, action, and drama with a touch of gut busting comedy. This was a style of movie that hasn't been done in a very long time. Not with this much attention to detail and heart. There were so many times I forgot the stars were puppets, if that makes sense.
With a world where puppet citizens are treated as second class, a Puppets Rights movement that imitates the struggles with class and race in the real world makes sense for a sequel as well. There are so many possibilities. I just hope enough people put in the time to see this movie that more can come to light with this team and characters. There was so much left out and could be said in the future. Lets just hope Melissa's husband doesn't try to direct any of them. A cameo was enough.
The happytime murders is a rated R puppet movie
where humans and puppets live together. The reality is that puppets that we
grew up with and see on television and shows such as the Muppet Show are now
living breathing characters in the real world that live among us. Much like who
framed Rodger rabbit this movie follows the story of Phil a former cop turn
private detective who has to solve the murders of a group of people involved
with a beloved TV show from the 90s called the happytime game. it turns out
that a settlement from the network that ran this TV series will give the
surviving cast members 10 million dollars and one by one all of the former
members are being murdered. teamed up with Melissa McCarthy's character these
wants partners are now at odds since Phil puppet cause the death of a
puppets citizen when trying to save the life of Melissa McCarthy who was
being held at gunpoint by a crazy and deranged puppet Criminal.
This leads to
believe that puppets were not fit to do police work making the field character
the first and only puppet to be on the police force. As the story progresses
true old-school sense of a buddy cop film period at sometimes I've even forgot
that I was looking at Old World of puppets and could only see the dynamic
between and her. just spoke volumes on the efforts of the late great Jim Henson
son directing a solid piece of work. At some point of the movie things felt
like they were going a tad too far or was pushing the envelope a little too
fast but overall the movie flowed well and the comedy and humor was more funny
then defensive or just observe. there was a lot of heart and charm to this
movie if you can believe that. I believe a franchise lives here and there could
be a sequel. I also believe that it could be a one-and-done just like the
formation who framed Rodger rabbit. There's no doubt in my mind that critics
will not before I move it like this but I do believe that there is a place in
public opinion for this film and that it will be a 50-50 split for the most
part you will either love this movie or hate this movie.
I also see potential in a new direction for
Melissa McCarthy's career she is always been a hit-and-miss type of actress and
this is a definite hit maker. I hope that she comes back to this world and
tries to take a sequel to a whole new level. where the comedy aspect was done
so well I'm curious to see what a attempt at a true drama would look like Even
a horror either way because of the puppets involved in this universe the comedy
would write itself but overall there should always be a comedic Element no
matter what. should people go to see this movie I believe they should. you'll
have a great time your laugh and see things you've never thought you would see
before. The team that brought this movie together and the cast and crew were
great you can tell that a lot of fun was had at the making of This film. And it
translates on screen. Overall I give it a B minus in the execution but you
should definitely go see it that you give it your own point of view. That being said after seeing how well this film was executed while watching I asked myself "What if the sequel, if there is one, would be treated as a serious comedy". Would it still hold up? Could it still be funny? I believe so, if the drama was campy.
Before the movie began I saw the logo for Hanson
alternative and I believed it was at first a take or jab at Jim Henson I later
discovered that the movie was directed by Jim Henson son which gave me a new
perspective of the meaning behind the name of his development team Hansen
alternative. I look forward to seeing what mr. Hanson can do next. It may not
be what his father said out but in today's society I'm glad that he's not
afraid to take risks. puppets and puppetry are already in great hands with
things like Sesame Street for our children but if we are going to take movies
like Labyrinth to the next level, this is what will prepare fans 4 the
return of new puppet films. I believe the happytime murders is the first step
in bringing back the magic of Puppets in films if that makes sense. If this
opens the door for Labyrinth reboot then I am sure a sequel to The happytime
Murders is definitely in the talks. Let's see what the fans decide because
everything.
