The Year of 2021 Will Be Insane for Movies Based on Cartoons
Last year, we heard that the soulless, nostalgia devouring machine known as Hollywood was developing animated (or “theatrical”) version of Happy Tree Friends, Beavis And Butt-Head, and Untitled Dr. Seuss Animated Project , with the latter two coming from Warner Bros. and the first one coming from Universal. Now, possibly because nobody in Hollywood talks to each other, all three of those movies are set to come out within 2021. According to Deadline, both Untitled Dr. Seuss Animated Project and Happy Tree Friends will hit theaters on January 15, 2021, with the new Beavis & Butt-Head movie hitting a few months later on June 13. Now, release dates are fickle (especially this far in advance), and Happy Tree Friends has already been moved up from its original 2022 release date, but doesn’t this seem like an awful lot of “here’s that thing you liked as an adult!” for such a relatively short period of time?

It is unclear what project based on a Dr. Seuss book is going to be, but considering that it's a Dr. Seuss movie, we have some suggestions (Oh The Places You'll Go, On Beyond Zebra, The Cat In The Hat Comes Back, and Green Eggs and Ham.) Beavis And Butt-Head is about an animated MTV series about two teenage heavy-metal music fans who occasionally do idiotic things because they're bored. For them, everything is "cool" or "sucks." And it’s being directed by Mike Judge. Finally, Happy Tree Friends is going to be some kind of “big, epic, crazy adventure,” which we didn’t understand when it was announced last summer and we still don’t understand today.

The year of 2021 will also see a Roller Coaster Tycoon animated movie on July 16, and an untitled Mickey Mouse Movie on November 24. but that’s different. Those are ostensibly movies for the entire family.
