October 5th, 2012

NOTE: I'm serious.

MEOW!

Last spring of this year, I was a member of the chorus in a prestigious music festival in Connecticut called "All-State," and our conductor, Rick Bjella, beautifully said that "Imagination feeds the hunger." Cut to the present day, and I find out that once again the wood of Holly is establishing a production based on the "Hungry Hungry Hippos" game that us 90 kids died to get as a christmas gift.

Well, OK, maybe 80s kids more than 90s kids, but both generations loved it just the same.

The cynic in me says that this is once again another cash grab that will destroy the integrity and child-like wonder of what a precious game like "Hungry Hungry Hippos" can be. But the blogger in me--or even the imagineer, if you will--will freely admit that there could be unlimited possibilities on how this idea could be approached. Personally...EVERY SINGLE ONE of those possibilites can be contained in one simple idea. All it takes is the power of imagination, no matter how absolutely ridiculous it can possibly be. So here we go, my friends, neighbors, and hopefully studio exectuives, here's the plot synopsis!

"The year is 9956. Earth has been destroyed, and all living creatures have been sent to the planet Ihopp-Yhugan (I-Hop-Hu-Gan). It's overruled by aliens who assign the creatures their habitats, and they are forced to abide by the rules of what their habitat requires. Three misfit hippos, labeled the "Yhugan-Yhugan Hippos," are required to lay in their pool all day waiting for their meals to arrive at an appropriate time. They have had enough. They want freedom. They want food. Unlimited amounts of food. Eventually, they successfully hitch a spaceship to the planet O-O, with food that literally fills up an entire planet. Little do they know that the ruler of Ihopp-Yhugan, Thea de Gr (Matthew the Great), are on the hippos' tails to retrieve them and return them to where they belong. This leads to extraordinary space battle, unapologetic romance, and worlds beyond your wildest imaginations.*"

You can keep your precious unobtanium on Pandora, THIS could be the next Star Wars for this generation. Hopefully Michael Bay can read this, and send my idea to Hollywood!** I have seen the future, and that name...is HUNGRY. HUNGRY. HIPPOS!!!!!!!!!***

*= In 4-D.
**= I'm kidding.
***=I'm kidding about ALL of this.

MEOW!
