Preview: Gooby (2009)

Synopsis:

A stuffed animal comes to life to protect and guide his young owner as he moves into a new home and tries to reconcile things with his father.

• Poster: D

Review:

Taking the goofy Gooby and putting him in an environment that looks strangely like those used in The Chronicles of Narnia and The Spiderwick Chronicles, the poster is as silly and uninspiring as the trailer.

• Trailer: D-

Review:

With this second trailer for a Monterey Media, family-friendly film, I am convinced that the company will never produce more than insipid, uninspired entertainment aimed at isolating parents hoping to keep their kids from getting truly wholesome films that actually teach kids to believe and react critically instead of turn off their brains like quivering masses of Jell-O.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• April 17, 2009
