With the comic book franchises mashing superhero plot lines, Star Wars starting to blend its major series with minor one-off films and other interesting cross-overs, it should come as no surprise that the recently announced Nickelodeon movie will be doing the same. Yet it's a double whammy when it comes to pop culture since it will bring together some of people's favorite 90s cartoon characters in one film.
Dubbed NickToons, the Nickelodeon movie will be pulling characters from Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Aaahh! Real Monsters, and The Angry Beavers. A fun way to pay a nostalgic tribute to these childhood staples, the highly-anticipated Nickelodeon movie will be directed and co-written by Jared Hess.
