Can’t they just leave Calvin and Hobbes alone?

   Why take it down? It’s just a fan video ? not much different than a Mad parody. Seems to me that it has legitimate protection under fair use.

2. Rick Kirkman

   I like the trailer and the concept. If it were a real movie, I’d probably rent it. :^)

   I agree…fair use as parody probably protects it.

   Being lawfully correct does NOT protect you from being forced to prove it in court by spending $$$. Mad Magazine has actual money to stop lawsuits, but the rest of us, not so much…

   I thought this was really funny and well done.

5. Neil Aaland

   I think this is clever and funny. I like it.

6. Mike Kandalaft

   I thought this was hilarious, and actually really well done! Clearly, this is a very devoted fan who spent countless hours putting together something that is truly original that has a unique twist. I wish this were a full length movie!

   At first, I thought, this is not right.
   But after the second viewing, the concept of it grabbed me.
   If there was a lot of money behind it, and the Hobbes character was better done, I think this would really fly.
   Now I’m starting to wonder what if we saw Charlie and Linus and Lucy grown up, living with their hang-ups and idiosyncrasies as adults.
   Maybe having to deal with putting Snoopy down, or whether the little red-haired girl was dying of breast cancer or a drunk driving accident…..
   Dilbert getting escorted out of the building without even time to put his stuff in a box…..
   Mary Worth in a retirement center, getting bed sores and dehydration….the possibilities are endless…..

   It’s obviously a joke trailer in the same vein as what you see on SNL, etc. I think it’s awesome that even after all these years, C&H can inspire people to make stuff like this.
