Berenstain Bears Movie Won't Be as Thought-Provoking as it Sounds

If you were among those viewers displeased with Spike Jonze's smart, brooding and wholly original interpretation of Where the Wild Things Are, then Shawn Levy has announced just the film for you. Hollywood's resident Captain Trifle will produce a feature-length take of The Berenstain Bears in requisite live-action/CGI. Levy's approach: "I'd like the film to be un-ironic about its family connections but have a wry comedic sensibility that isn't oblivious to the fact that they're bears," he told USA Today. "The comedy comes from this bear family coexisting in a more recognizably real world." Take that, hipsters. [USA Today]
