Is the implication Barney wasn't already a horror show?

I also saw a source being quoted about this being "A24-like" and...the f*** does that mean? Lower budget and more risk taking?
It'd be like me saying I'm making a film and it's "Fox Searchlight-like". It's so broad, what does it even mean?

I'm glad the Fred Rogers estate has a tight grip on the rights to his show and characters.

Isn’t “dark and gritty Barney movie” just Death to Smoochy? Or the Banana Splits movie we got a couple years ago. |

If you unironically use the phrase "millennial angst" to push your film, there's a 1-100 chance that it's not going to be awful.

"We're leaning into the millennial angst of the property rather than fine-tuning this for kids," McKeon said.
Oh, PLEASE tell me what millennial angst is attached to the Barney franchise.

Thought we were doing more or less as well as any other age group, but now I'm not so sure. Something like this existing feels very cynical and pandering to me. Like, "hey, remember how you hated Barney and that stupid theme song back when you were 10? Well now we're going to flip it and give you a reason to!" That just isn't something I want to see. At least the Barbie movie looks fun. |

*reads description* ...I don't see "dark and gritty". "Grown up", maybe. But "dark and gritty" gives me "The Crow" vibes, if anything. I now need Barney footage cut to choice tracks from the Crow soundtrack. He is the goth/industrial icon I need. |

I know I sound like a miserable old grump but I kind of wish they'd leave kids' shows alone.

The first image that popped into my brain when I read the phrase “gritty Barney movie” was of a buddy comedy starring the purple dinosaur and the Philadelphia Flyers mascot.
Now THAT I would pay money to see.

A lot of people seem to be taking this as a horror film like that Winnie the Pooh indie film, but... the synopsis says literally the opposite of that, it even says it won't be Rated-R This, to me, seems like a weird follow-up to that Barney documentary that's coming out (or already came out?) if anything. So it's going to be about Barney hate? Does that mean it's going to be an adaptation of the Barney Doom MOD from back in the day? |

I'm assuming this is Barney the dinosaur and not either of Fred Flintstone's or Homer Simpson's friends?

With this, and Winnie The Pooh, etc. What is it with people taking children's characters and turning them into killers? Seriously? |
