After their failure to revive the Indiana Jones genre, combining it with popular video game memes, with Mario and the Plumber’s Crack of Doom, the studio tried turning Mr. Toads Wild Ride into a live action series, beginning at the middle of the ride, planning to flesh it out with further releases.
It’s a regular Hollywood trope. Make a moderately successful “popular” movie, then make sequel after requel until the original (more or less) idea has been milked so dry that it crumbles to dust.
They call them “franchises,” and make bazillions of extra dollars from franchise marketing of DVDs (or whatever current format), action figures (J, Thaddeus Toad is a guaranteed Best Seller!), graphic novels and/or comic books, kitchen knickknacks and other tchotchkes, tee-shirts, etc.
The Frog Applause Entertainment Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Froglandia Bath Mat Factory LLC) is now seeking financing (“executive producers”) for the projected Adventures of J. Thaddeus Toad Through Space and Time franchise, having engaged a famous but anonymous science-fiction and fantasy author to produce a script for installment one, tentatively titled “Toad on the Road Again!”….

…William Shatner has turned himself into an AI…
…so when he dies family, friends & fans can still sit and talk to him…
…well…
…not really him…
…his requel…
…and while I’m at it…
…every near future space novel or movie has suspended animation as a main way to travel…
…like it’s a given…
…2001…
…The 500…
…The Three Body Problem…
…except…
