(Parody) Live-Action “Dragon Tales” movie in production

PBS announced a new “Dragon Tales” feature film is in production.
In an effort to stay relevant outside of “Sesame Street,” the educational broadcast station (known for educational kids shows) has started a new film division.
The “Dragon Tales” film, titled “Dragon Tales: Return to Dragon Land,” is being developed in cooperation with Warner Brothers.
“We really want to show audiences we can produce films, not just educational programs for kids,” a PBS spokesman said. “They’ll see we’re just as good as Fox, ABC, CBS and NBC.”
The film is set in the present day with an older version of Annie and Max, the siblings from the animated series, all grown up.
The plot revolves around Emmy and Max returning home while on college break and accidentally getting sent back to the dragon world after going through boxes of their old stuff from their adventures.
“This causes much needed conflict because Emmy and Max grew up believing their adventures with dragons weren’t real and now they must return to Dragon Land in order to save their dragon friends,” the producer said, referring to the movie’s plot.
Selena Gomez and David Henrie were casted as young adult versions of Emmy and Max, respectively. (Even though Henrie is older than Gomez in real life and Max is Annie’s younger brother.)
It is the first time the two actors would star together since Disney’s “Wizards of Wavorly Place” franchise.
Originally Michael Bay was set to direct the film, but he pulled out after realizing it wouldn’t have a lot of explosions.
“Seriously, there are dragons in this movie, for (expletive) sake. So many explosion possibilities,” Bay said. “I mean, you can’t have a movie without lots of explosions and one-dimensional characters. That’s not how it works.”
“Why would I ever put the time and effort in to create good, strong and likable characters when I can just go make ‘Transformers 48’?” Bay added.
Efforts by reporters to tell Bay that there have only been six live-action “Transformers” films went unanswered as Bay turned around and set off an explosion on the car behind him and walked away.
Critics have pointed out the similarities between the “Dragon Tales” film and “Disney’s Christopher Robin.”
“You have established human characters realize their childhood talking animal friends are in fact real and they must struggle with that while grappling adulthood and having grown up,” one Rotten Tomatoes film critic said.
The film reviewer has since been fired and banned from Rotten Tomatoes because he didn’t push for hammering SJW politics into the “Dragon Tales” film. A team of fact checkers are now going through his old tweets for any anti-SJW posts he made in the past.
At publishing time, a “ClueFinders” feature film is in the first stages of development by PBS, working in coordination with Universal Studios.
