View-Master

Live-Action ‘View-Master’ Movie, Based on 3D Image Toy From Mattel, in the Works

Mattel, the toy company behind Barbie and Hot Wheels, is developing a feature film about the stereoscopic image device View-Master.

The live-action movie will be developed with Sony Pictures and Escape Artists. View-Master has been around since 1939. In a press release, Mattel described the toy as a “popular childhood staple for generations,” one that has “taken its fans all over the world with its 3-D image reels, creating worlds of imagination and storytelling for every adventure seeker at heart.” How this will translate to the big screen isn’t yet clear, though the movie is billed as a “four-quadrant family adventure.”

Maybe the View-Master is magical and it transports you to the location you see when you look inside it.

I wonder if Barbie could make a cameo?

Watch out, MCU, here comes the new MCU - the Mattel Cinematic Universe!!

Yes it will be cursed and transport them to different worlds. At least one world will be animated.

If there are animated characters, the main one will be voiced by Chris Pratt

Yeah. They probably already called him.

When a new movie is called View Master named after the image reels toy, it's either going to be a very clever idea, or they're running out of ideas of properties to turn into movies.

Let's see what happens with Monopoly and The Sims.

I'm preparing for the inevitable announcement that they're making a Slinky movie.

Though hopefully it will star Sidney Sweeney and/or Glen Powell

Hit the wayback machine.

Well, that's disappointing. I did not anticipate Slinky getting stuck in development hell.
