Hungry Hungry Hippos: The Movie
We all love the board game Hungry Hungry Hippos, right? Well, so many other games have movies made of them (even Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots got a movie, but it was called Real Steel), but where's the movie for Hungry Hungry Hippos? It could be one of those "nature strikes back" horror movies where evil illegal land developers are encroaching on their habitat, and brutal poachers are hunting the elephants and rhinos all to the brink of extinction, and the hippos have had enough, so they go on a brutal blood-soaked rampage, biting every human they run into, and then they invade a poacher camp, killing them all and dismembering them with their viselike jaws of death and then eating them all in a gory display of wanton carnage, and then they lap up all the blood with their huge hippo tongues. And they decide they enjoyed that so much, next they're going to invade a whole city and see how many humans they can kill before they're stopped. It would be absolute gory justice for man's misdeeds to nature, and as such it would be wildly popular with the environmental gorehound crowd. And it would also serve as a huge and high profile advertisement for the game Hungry Hungry Hippos, which would make kids love it even more than ever!
